The main house has a sleek mid-century design, with polished concrete flooring and soaring ceilings throughout. At the heart of the three-bedroom home is the open plan kitchen and dining area.<\/p>\n

The designer kitchen features custom oak cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. The second home, created in a similar vein, has another three bedrooms and an open plan living space.<\/p>\n

The homes were built in 2017 by vendors, local photographer Amelia Fullarton and her husband Allan Rushforth, who had paid $599,000 for the block of land in 2016.<\/p>\n

They had initially built the smaller house to rent out, but ended up moving into the little one and renting the main house at $900 a week.<\/p>\n
