The San Marino suite of home designs is one of McDonald Jones’ most loved ranges. One of the latest versions — the San Marino Manor 16 — was created to offer more everyday luxuries for living and entertaining, and to encourage stronger family connections.
“This design has something for everyone, from young families to retirees and it is ideal for those who want to work from home or like to entertain in style — or both,” says Dan King, Sales Manager — Hunter, McDonald Jones. “The architecturally designed layout also appeals to families who want to be able to spend quality time together yet have the opportunity to enjoy a little peace and quiet from time to time.
“The thoughtful, flowing floor plan provides three living spaces and a master suite that is separate to the children’s wing, with its spacious activity zone, giving parents the privacy they need. The hidden home theatre is the ultimate getaway space for any family member wanting a little ‘me’ time or to enjoy a family movie night. The hub of the home is the gourmet kitchen. Boasting a large island, a contemporary butler’s pantry and integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances, the kitchen forms part of the spacious open-plan living area and is adjacent to the home theatre.”
The San Marino Manor 16 also features a large alfresco, an entertainer’s dream that flows off the spacious dining and family areas and is accessed via bifold doors. In fact, this is a home with a wonderful sense of connection to the outdoors thanks to the expansive use of glass throughout, from the bifold doors to the strategically placed picture windows. The increased ceiling heights also enhance the sense of interior space, making this a light and airy home.
“The timeless San Marino Manor 16 has a strong beach house feel. This can be seen in the panelled ceilings in the family living area and kitchen, the panelled cabinetry in the kitchen, bathrooms, home theatre and laundry plus the wall panelling in the entry and study nook,” says Dan. “The sandy blonde tones of the engineered timber floors reinforce the coastal feel.”
The beach house-style exterior of the display home showcased here perfectly complements the impeccable interior styling. The Cascade D facade features a limited but well-considered mix of materials, namely cladding, render and stacked stone, used for the feature piers.
“One of our most popular designs, the San Marino comes in a range of variations to suit many block sizes and price points, and you have a selection of upgrades,” adds Dan. “For example, you could have a split step-down to the rear with increased 3m-high ceilings to the living areas at the back of the home to create a wonderful feeling of light and space, or a resort-style master suite with his-and-her basins.” You really are spoilt for choice.
