Renowned builder's coastal design breathes inspiration into family home plans
For more than 120 years Plunkett Homes has been building dwellings to perfectly suit the current lifestyle and adapt to how people will live in the future. This expertise includes delivering wonderful first homes to shape your early steps on the property ladder. None deliver a comfortable and flexible first living space more so than the builder's Hamptons-inspired display home – the Boardwalk. Exuding beachside vibes, it features a jetty-style front porch leading to a facade with weatherboard cladding and limestone features – reminiscent of a seaside holiday residence. Crafted to accommodate different price points, homebuilders can opt for the three different specifications. 'The Display specification allows you to build the home as you see it in Eglinton while the Luxe version incorporates the same layout as the display with a modified inclusions list,' Plunkett Homes Sales Manager Aaron Bennett said. 'The Lifestyle version is modified by size and features to suit clients' budgets.' Mr Bennett said the polished abode was a great fit for first homebuyers, particularly young families and couples. 'The well-planned layout makes it cost-effective for a first homebuyer, with the option of three different price points depending on the client's budget,' he said. 'The home suits traditional blocks you would find in most estates across the Perth metropolitan area.' Inside is awash with trendy touches and contemporary elements, including an extra-wide entrance hallway, high ceilings and feature bulkheads. 'The functional layout is perfectly suited to relaxed family living,' Mr Bennett said. 'There's a separate bedroom wing for the children, while the master suite with an enormous walk-in robe and an ensuite is to the front of the home in its own private sanctuary. 'There are two entertaining areas, so parents and kids can unwind separately. 'At the rear, the large open-plan living area opens directly to the alfresco, doubling the entertaining space and creating a breezy coastal feel.' The layout overflows with even more lifestyle additions such as a media room, a drop zone, a scullery and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, along with the all-important dog shower in the laundry. All the while, timeless Hamptons charm is thoughtfully integrated throughout to create an oceanside dream. 'The many Hamptons-inspired features and finishes include detailed cornices, colonial skirting boards, shaker-style cabinetry, and internal and external feature cladding,' Mr Bennett said, adding that not only does the porch design evoke a jetty but the alfresco does as well. Over the course of its storied history, Plunkett Homes' beautiful builds have had a hand in shaping suburbs – from Yanchep to Baldivis and everywhere in between. Its vast range of products, which comprise country abodes, Hamptons-style designs, double-storey properties and more, have established a place to call home for thousands of buyers. For first homebuyers beginning their journey, the experienced Plunkett Homes team will work closely with you to ensure you get what you deserve. To experience the Boardwalk for yourself, visit the display home at 41 Lorikeet Approach, Eglinton on Wednesday from 2-5pm or Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm. For more than 120 years, Plunkett Homes has been providing Western Australians a place to call home, with designs to suit every family's lifestyle.

FreshDirect opens its first-ever retail location in New York today
More often than not, finding a quality grocery store in NYC can be a hassle, which is why many New Yorkers turn to reliable grocery delivery or even takeout for their dinner plans. But today, one grocery giant is flipping the script: After 25 years online, FreshDirect is stunning shoppers with a brick-and-mortar debut in New York. Today, the brand's very first physical location, called FreshDirect on Main, opens for in-person purchases in the heart of Southampton 's East End Village. Designed to mimic your favorite farmers market, the pop-up shop is stocked with curated collections of local products on wooden crates and pallets. Find farm-fresh produce, small-batch cheeses from nearby creameries, high-quality olive oils, and seasonal fruits and vegetables from regional farms like Wells Homestead Acres and Deer Run Farms. A dedicated coffee counter will sling local legend Jack's Stir Brew Coffee alongside FreshDirect's baked breakfast items (think buttery, flaky croissants) and more specialty prepared foods. For today's grand opening, guests will receive a complimentary mini loaf of banana bread, while the first 100 customers will each receive a $100 gift card to use toward their next online purchase. Visitors of the new shop will also receive limited-edition Hamptons-inspired FreshDirect totes for all their future market runs. Later this season, expect in-store experiences such as ice cream socials, wine and cheese tastings, and even pizza-making classes. In June, FreshDirect will takeover an East Hampton house for a 'Tiny Tastemakers' event series for kids, giving families a chance to meet the local farmers and artisans who grow and make the food they love.

5 versatile beach bags to tote around this summer
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. For the last few seasons, designer wicker totes and raffia beach bags have given new meaning to the term 'beach to boardwalk'. Indeed, styles that move effortlessly from sand to city are key to ensuring your summer includes as many beach visits as possible, without sacrificing any of the essentials: SPF, a good read, a snack or two and the all-important sunnies. Rebecca Tay presents five beach bags that prove that practicality and polish can go hand in hand. TONI FIFI X REITMANS STRAW BAG Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine.

Toronto-based stylist, influencer and on-air fashion expert Toni Fifi — @tonififi — has created a limited-edition collection with Canadian brand Reitmans, and we're loving the printed, bold pieces, as well as this straw tote. Not too big, not too small, the all-black, adjustable straps and hardware give it a streamlined, sleek look that's perfect for days out and dinner alike. Reitmans, | $59.90 STRIPED TOTE WITH LEATHERETTE TOP HANDLES We've all seen a striped summer tote before, but this one feels slightly different as it merges a market bag and a beach bag to feel suitable for, well, both. With a large compartment that will fit everything from your fresh produce to magazines and a sarong, it's a chic, Hamptons-inspired take on a style that will definitely see you through the season — and beyond. Joe Fresh, | $29 ALL SEASON GEAR TOTE True to its B.C. roots, Herschel knows that a Canadian summer is just as likely to include trips to the cabin, complete with a ferry ride and pebble beach walk, as it is days on the sand. Enter this All Season Gear Tote, which comes in two sizes: 63L and 33L. Part of the brand's Outdoor Equipment performance line, it's made from custom All Season fabric, has a double-layer base and nylon handles for sturdiness and durability, and a roomy main compartment for wine, extra clothing, swimming flippers, a portable speaker and more — basically everything you need for a great summer's day out. Herschel, | $95 (small) and $125 (large) BEACH CLUB CANVAS TOTE Is there anything more iconic than a printed canvas tote? Sure, we'd all love to find a good vintage one at a charity shop, but barring that, there's this SENN House Beach Club version by Oak and Fort. Laid-back and cool, it has double shoulder straps for comfort and strength and a structured base for extra stability, meaning you can stuff it to overflowing and it won't — or at least it shouldn't — tip over. Oak and Fort, | $48 SANS-ARCIDET PARIS OVERSIZED BRAIDED RAFFIA TOTE Founded 25 years ago in Madagascar by three sisters, Sans-Arcidet Paris is a relatively under-the-radar brand known for its elegance and craftsmanship. Case in point: this oversized, braided raffia bag, which features drawstring cords that knot at the bottoms and tie-dyed fastenings for a sense of modernity. Wear with cropped trousers for weekend errands, with a bikini at the beach, and with a black dress for an evening out. Simons, | $275
