At the foot of the escarpment in Calderwood, a new custom home is turning heads — for the lifestyle it promises behind a striking Palm Springs-inspired facade.

Built by Flash Homes and tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, the curved forms, soft textures and crisp white render of 4 Quail Place, Calderwood contrast beautifully against the dramatic ridgeline that frames it — a view that, according to HodderBorg’s Jeremy Hodder, will remain forever unspoiled.

“You’ve got these incredible escarpment vistas from the kitchen, lounge and al fresco,” he says. “That view will never be built out, and because of that the whole home just fills with natural light. It’s a really uplifting space to be in.”

Light is a defining feature throughout. The clever split-level design opens up under soaring ceilings and expansive windows, letting sunlight flow from room to room.

Each of the four bedrooms is generous and thoughtfully placed for privacy, while the bathrooms are beautifully appointed with contemporary fixtures that elevate the everyday.

At the heart of the home is a striking kitchen that’s both functional and made for show. Sleek cabinetry, premium appliances and a clever servery window that connects directly to the outdoor entertainment area make it a standout for families and hosts alike.

“It’s very highly spec’d. The finishes are top-end, and the flow from indoor to outdoor is seamless,” Jeremy says.

This attention to detail is no accident. The owner, inspired by their travels overseas, worked closely with the builder to bring their vision to life. The result is a home that’s rich in character without being fussy — stylish yet supremely liveable.

“They really wanted something a bit different,” Jeremy explains. “You can see that in everything from the curved walls to the textures to the layout itself. It’s a unique home for Calderwood, and one that really stands out.”

Set in the Calderwood Valley estate — a family-friendly pocket that’s growing in popularity — the location ticks all the boxes for convenience and lifestyle.

“You’ve got parks everywhere, a tavern just down the road, and it’s only minutes to Albion Park,” Jeremy says. “It’s the kind of street where kids are out riding bikes and neighbours know each other.”

Commuters will appreciate the easy freeway access, making trips north or south a breeze. And despite its polished design and premium inclusions, Jeremy says the home remains well-priced for its market.

“The guide is $1.3 million — an attractive figure for a custom home in such a tightly held and scenic location,” he says.

“It’s low-maintenance, high-impact and ready to move into. In today’s market, something this special, with all the practicality young families are looking for, is increasingly rare.”
