Sherridon Homes takes home Master Builders Award for European-inspired display home

Ballarat’s Lucas Grange Estate is now home to an award-winning display home with Sherridon Homes’ Elmont 32 awarded ‘Best Volume Builder Display Home $350,000-$500,000’ at the 2024 Master Builders Victoria Regional Building Awards (Western).

The Elmont 32 is one of Sherridon’s most popular display homes across its metro and regional portfolio, with buyers attracted to the modern Mediterranean aesthetic and generous floorplan of four spacious bedrooms and study.

Sherridon Homes Interior Designer Manager Samantha Darmarkis said the vision for the Elmont 32 was to conceptualise a modern, family-centric residence that caters to the needs and preferences of contemporary Australian living.

“The Elmont 32 is the perfect fusion of comfort, style and functionality, making it an ideal haven for families seeking a contemporary and adaptable living space.”

The heart of the home is a stunning kitchen design where elegance meets functionality in perfect harmony. The centrepiece is a beautiful standout island bench, finished in aged ash, which seamlessly complements the concrete finish of the Caesarstone benchtop and splashback tiles. The island bench boasts a unique edge design, offering a casual and inviting option for informal dining or gatherings.

Ample storage space is cleverly integrated throughout the kitchen including a butler’s pantry, while stylish gun metal finish tapware adds a striking contrast and modern flair to the sophisticated yet understated palette of aged ash oak and white.

The bathroom design offers a Mediterranean ambience with herringbone-laid matt terracotta tiles, a double vanity with cast stone solid finish basins and a bathtub in a contemporary finish.

“This serene retreat reflects a sense of charm and sophistication, from the intricate tile work to the artisanal finishes of the basins and bathtub, creating an inviting ambience that blends functionality with captivating design,” says Samantha.

Key sustainability features include a 6-star energy rating achieved through energy-efficient appliances, LED downlights with low energy consumption and WELS-rated tapware. Additionally, the home has been designed with highly efficient insulation to minimise heat loss during winter and minimise heat gain during summer, providing year-round reduction in energy usage.

Sherridon Homes’ Elmont 32 home was chosen over several other homebuilders within the same category.

“Winning this award is a significant milestone for Sherridon Homes in Ballarat as it validates our efforts to provide exceptional homes that meet the needs and aspirations of our customers across Victoria,” says Sherridon Homes Managing Director Natalie King.

The Elmont 32 display home is located at 27-29 Blomeley Drive, Lucas. For more information on Sherridon Homes, please visit https://www.sherridonhomes.com.au
