Cape Cod style in Queensland

Carrara Cape Cod is Rachael Turner, Front Porch Properties very first Cape Cod-style home build, so she was naturally extremely excited about this project. Rachael a QBCC licensed builder turned to Intrim Mouldings to deliver the large amount of quality timber moulding detailing required for this statement home.

The house is 460SQM, featuring 4 bedrooms, all with ensuites and walk-in robes, a double garage and a pool. There is plenty of space to enjoy open-plan dining & living off the kitchen in addition to the dedicated home theatre, craft room, hobby room, and large alfresco entertainment area off the kitchen. A mudroom, separate laundry, and pool bathroom off the outside pool deck make a seriously great house for a family that loves enjoying the Queensland weather and entertaining.
