Renowned builder's coastal design breathes inspiration into family home plans

West Australian25-05-2025

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.

Graya acquires $20m retail site in Brisbane's New Farm

Developer Graya has tightened its grip on Brisbane's trendiest high streets with the latest $20m off-market buy of a hotly contested New Farm retail site. The James Street deal comes hot on the heels of the developer unveiling plans for a mixed-use project on Racecoure Rd, Hamilton. Graya director Rob Gray said the 943 sqm James Street parcel currently housing Bed Bath n Table was the 'last piece of the puzzle' ripe for redevelopment along the evolving lifestyle strip. It is understood several of the city's big players were locked in a shadow bidding war for the prime site, which last sold for $2.6m in 2014 and was owned by a company linked to Gold Coast investor Bradley Johnston. 'Sites like these are truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this acquisition is a really big chess move for us and the goal would be to keep will cement Graya's legacy in southeast Queensland,' Mr Gray said. 'Graya plans on delivering a world-class building that will enhance the James Street lifestyle hub with high-end food and beverage along with a luxury retail offering and office space.' The deal was handed by Chesters Real Estate agent Tim Jones, who fielded multiple offers from Australian and international buyers. 'James Street is undoubtedly among the most sought-after real estate in Australia and this benchmark transaction is a testament to how well the area is performing with interest from investors, retailers and high-end developers like Graya,' Mr Jones said. The buy comes as Graya lodged a DA for a planned project in Hamilton. Named The Gallery, the 3,614 sqm site on Racecourse Rd and Balowrie St will comprise 37 units across four storeys, along with eight retail tenancies. The tower, designed by Bureau^Proberts, also includes a rooftop residents' area with a resort-style pool. The development marks Graya's first multi-residential release in Hamilton, following more than a decade delivering some of the suburb's most recognisable homes, including Scorpia, Larc, and the Mediterranean-inspired Casa Espri which recently resold for $12.5 million.

'The Gallery is our response to that demand. Hamilton has been a major part of our story for more than ten years. 'We know this community, so we're proud to be the ones bringing that vision to life.' While tenants for the ground-floor retail mix were yet to be confirmed, Mr Gray hinted at a boutique grocer and wine bar. The Hamilton submission and New Farm acquisition both fit within Graya's strategy of reshaping inner-Brisbane living through design-led projects which allow residents to shop and socialise locally. The company has a current pipeline close to $1b also including multiresidential projects on the Gold Coast. Pending DA approval, The Gallery is expected to launch to market in early 2026.
