Awarding Winning Home in Forster
We are thrilled to share with you one of our newest award-winning homes, the Havana Encore 14, on display at Forster Grange on the mid-north coast, which was recently crowned Display Home Winner at the 2021 Master Builders NSW Hunter Excellence Awards.
There is so much to love about this inspiring Urban styled home, let’s take a closer look and find out why the MBA judges crowned the Havana Encore 14 king of its category!
Award-Winning Home Design
The Havana range, from our NextGen Collection of home designs, has been one of our most loved designs for many years due to the practicality and flexibility it offers to adapt to changing lifestyles and trends.
The Havana Encore 14 is the perfect modern home, featuring flowing architectural design, functional space perfectly suited for blocks of 14m wide or more.
The modern Maple façade offers a stylish and balanced exterior design, featuring the McDonald Jones gables and cohesive contemporary elements which maximise street appeal for years to come.
Modern Family Home
As you step inside the long private entry, the striking reclaimed face brick and warm timber tones of the flooring invite you in with a warm and welcoming appeal, and discretely on your right, you will find the master suite.
This position, at the front of the home, offers a relaxing oasis to escape the hum of the central and rear living zones. Complemented by a large walk-in robe and ensuite – this generously sized master suite is the ultimate destination to unwind or retreat day-in day-out.
Four Bedroom Home Design
Further down the hallway, a favourite feature of this home according to Margaret Thornton, our Forster Building and Design Consultant say the "discretely positioned home theatre is positioned behind the master suite", featuring an architectural window that welcomes natural light into the space without inhibiting the furniture placement and providing the ideal big screen room away from the central hub of the home.
At the heart of the home, lies the beautiful open plan, light-filled dining, living and gourmet kitchen. The spacious island bench really is the centre of the home which is conveniently serviced by the butler’s pantry, a modern luxury that every active and entertaining household dream of in their new home.
From the island bench, parents can keep a close eye on the kids in the adjacent space through the architectural cut-out giving visibility straight into the children’s activity which serves as a third living space for this modern home.
In addition to the children’s activity, the rear wing of the home houses three bedrooms, each with built-in robes, a family bathroom, a separate WC, and a conveniently located laundry so you can encourage the kids to help carry the load and help out with the chores!
The much-loved alfresco flows easily off the living and the children’s activity, so you can take full advantage of the scope of your block and enjoy the additional outdoor living space, all year round.
According to Margaret, our Forster Building and Design Consultant says The Havana Encore is a "great family home giving plenty of personal space for each family member". This design has been designed to cater for a wide range of locations, from Forster to Wongawilli and all the in-between, and perfectly complements modern lifestyles with contemporary architectural features you will love for years to come.
Award-Winning Interior Design
The warm, earthy tones featured in this home create a highly functional and practical style, perfectly suited for modern families.
The modern Maple façade offers a stylish and balanced design, featuring expansive use of glass and a combination of modern elements such as render, brickwork and timber across the urban colour palette, which creates a striking earthy streetscape to the new Forster Grange estate.
As you step inside the entry the striking reclaimed face brick and warm timber tones of the oak flooring greets you and flows effortlessly throughout this home.
You will be wowed by the stunning master suite complete with striking feature wallpaper, a chic addition to this urban-styled home.
Follow the warm timber tones down the hallway, and the home theatre is centrally positioned for the whole family to enjoy, inviting you in with its generous space, featuring soft tones, clean lines and beautiful sheers to increase the comfort and cosiness in this space of supreme relaxation.
At the heart of the home, lies the beautiful open plan, light-filled living space, the zone that draws the family together to connect and relax. Featuring a well-sized dining space for formal family dinners, with views out the adjacent floor to ceiling windows, a family/living space and the gourmet kitchen beautifully lit by three Velux skylights and full length stacker doors out to the alfresco cabana.
This oak flooring and large L-shaped leather lounge give this space warmth, complementing the white walls, black cabinetry and fixtures combined to enhance the relaxed urban styling of this home.
The striking contrasting colours and styling of the contemporary kitchen include a beautiful Caesarstone island bench in Raw Concrete and Matt Black Laminex cabinetry, home to the ultimate gourmet appliances and extending into the enormous butler’s pantry.
