An award-winning executive home is up for grabs in Zuccoli with an airconditioned workshop, contemporary style and feng shui design.

The four-bedroom property at 50 Whitegum Cres was built by Beare Homes and won Best Project Home at the Master Builders NT awards in 2023.

The owner said he and his wife designed the property to be spacious, low maintenance and in line with feng shui principles.

“My wife’s Chinese, so feng shui plays a big part in the home,” he said.

“We designed a big welcoming area at the front of the home because in Chinese culture, you might invite people into the house but not to come all the way inside.

“There’s also space under the built-in cupboards (in the welcoming area) to put shoes, because you don’t wear shoes inside the home.”

The owner said feng shui also played a part in the design of the living area.

“You can’t have a sofa with nothing behind it, so we put a wall in the living room with timber the timber at the top,” he said.

“That also pushes the aircon from the living area down the passage to the bedrooms.”

The home sits on a 512 sqm block and has a double garage has tiled flooring, which opens to a mud room with wash station and storage.

“Whenever you come in from doing gardening, that’s where you clean up,” the owner said.

The front door open into has a spacious entry foyer with built-in storage and there is separate bedroom at the front of the home, which would be the perfect study or guest room.

The internal laundry is also at the front of the home and opens to the veranda.

The central hub of the house is the open plan living, dining and kitchen space, which opens through sliding doors to the veranda.
