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.

Serenity and the city: Impressive Victorian on Leeson Park for €4.95m
Address : 26 Leeson Park, Ranelagh, Dublin 6 Price : €4,950,000 Agent : Colliers It's difficult to know which entrance into 26 Leeson Park is the more impressive. One option is to go up the short flight of granite steps and through the stately front door, and the other is through the gate in the stone wall at garden level and stepping into the Victorian courtyard where charming French doors take you inside. The entrance you take also dictates the mood that meets you, with the formal rooms at hall level and the more casual living spaces down below. The magnificent period features on all levels, such as the cornicing, centre roses and fireplaces, still have pride of place, but it's clear from the outset that modern living has been introduced in the most subtle way. The property was stripped right back when the current owners bought it in 2007. It was remodelled and refurbished under the supervision of Hilda Cullivan of Henry J Lyons Architecture and Interiors. All the hard work has been done to a high standard, so new owners will be able to move in to number 26 Leeson Park, which has just come on to the market with agent Colliers with an asking price of €4.95 million, and immediately enjoy the privilege. READ MORE The main aim behind the renovation was to maximise the 389sq m (4,188sq ft) of floor space and make it work as a family home, while also carefully retaining the Victorian features that date from the 1850s. When you enter at garden level, there is a wide hallway with the original curved staircase at the centre. To the right are two interconnecting family rooms that run into the kitchen at the back. This southwest-facing room is flooded with light and is fitted with English-style units with a warm granite worktop. There is a six-ring Aga and Gaggenau appliances that include a built-in wine cooler and an espresso coffee machine. At the back of the kitchen there is a Hamptons-style breakfastroom with a glazed roof and French doors out to the 60ft-long garden. Upstairs, on hall level, is a cloakroom and guest powder room. To the right are the two reception rooms with cornicing so intricate it acts as a piece of art, with the eye constantly drawn back to it. While these rooms are more formal, they are not fussy or precious. They both have original marble fireplaces and traditional pitched pine floorboards. Two of the five bedrooms are on returns. One of these is has a large en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, making it the ideal guest room as it is away from the other bedrooms. [ Classic Kenny-built five-bed in Mount Merrion for €1.55m Opens in new window ] Entrance hall Drawingroom Formal diningroom Kitchen Family room Garden with potting shed On the first floor there is a trio of arches with a neat little study under one at the back of the house. The main bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has an original fireplace and steps up to an en suite that would remind you of a luxury Roman hotel. There are two more bedrooms at this level and the family bathroom. There are unique touches throughout such as the wall paintings in the cloakroom and bathrooms that were drawn by artist Christopher Moore. The gardens were designed by landscape architect David Koning, with the rear garden set out around a charming stone and slate roofed potting shed that now houses all the noisy equipment that keeps the Ber-exempt property running. The mix of the setting and the tasteful interior design have resulted in a serene atmosphere in the house, which is just a 15-minute walk from St Stephen's Green in Dublin city centre. The road is surprisingly quiet, with the mature trees to front and back shielding number 26 from the outside world. Leeson Park is a very convenient residential street with the city on the doorstep in one direction and Ranelagh village in the other. There are several primary and secondary schools in the area including Sandford Parish and Park, Gonzaga, Loreto and CUS.

The 11 Most Exciting New Restaurants in Upstate New York for Summer Trips
Upstate New York—the loosely defined region north of Manhattan and the Bronx boasting no shortage of lush countryside and weathered red bars, but not so much Hamptons-style traffic—is hot. Last year, home prices in one of its major regions, the Hudson Valley, which runs along the Hudson River from Westchester to Albany, hit all-time highs, following an influx of New York City residents who left during the pandemic and continue to take advantage of remote work allowances.
