There’s no question that Sydney is experiencing a housing squeeze. Housing affordability and a tight rental market has created a desire for homes able to organically cater for several generations.
This property at 13 Therry Street, Avalon on Sydney’s northern beaches offers the kind of comfortable multi-generational living that gives everyone some breathing space without even trying. The two-storey residence has five bedrooms, including a master suite overlooking the back garden and pool. One of the additional bedrooms upstairs has a walk-in robe while a fifth bedroom downstairs comes complete with built-in robes and ensuite, making it ideal for adult children, or as in-law accommodation.
Constructed by award-winning builder, Binet Homes, the house has taken its design cues from Hamptons style, with a spacious Shaker-style kitchen kitted out with double ovens, Bosch appliances, bar and light-filled butler’s pantry.
Plantation shutters, bi-fold windows and sliding doors manage light and ventilation as well as creating a seamless link between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The home is fitted with ducted aircon and a ducted vacuum system, as well as a video security system.
In addition to the generous kitchen, the property includes a generous covered alfresco space leading to the pool, making the home ideal for entertaining. The pool is heated for year-round use as desired.

For affluent homeowners, the laundry is no longer a utility space. It’s becoming a performance-driven investment in hygiene, longevity and seamless living.

In high-end homes, the most telling upgrades are no longer the obvious ones.
It’s not just the marble in the kitchen or the view from the terrace. Increasingly, it’s the rooms you don’t see, and how well they actually work.
The laundry is a perfect example.
Once treated as a purely functional space, it is now being reconsidered by architects and homeowners alike as a zone where performance, hygiene and design need to align.
And for buyers operating at the top end of the market, that shift is less about aesthetics and more about control.
Because in a home where everything is curated, inefficiency stands out.
ASKO’s latest “Laundry Care 2.0” range leans directly into that mindset, positioning the laundry as a long-term investment rather than a basic appliance purchase.
Built on more than 75 years of engineering, the Scandinavian brand’s latest systems focus on durability, precision and what is becoming a defining luxury in modern homes: quiet.
One of the more telling innovations is something most buyers would never think to question until it fails.
Traditional washing machines rely on rubber seals that trap dirt and bacteria over time. ASKO replaces that entirely with a steel solution designed to maintain a cleaner, more hygienic drum.
It’s not a headline feature. But it is exactly the kind of detail buyers tend to notice.
Then there is the issue of noise.
As open-plan living has become standard in prestige homes, the background hum of appliances has gone from unnoticed to intrusive.
ASKO’s suspension system is engineered to minimise vibration almost entirely, allowing machines to run without disrupting the wider home environment.
In practical terms, that means a load can run late at night without carrying through the house. In lifestyle terms, it means the home functions as intended.
The same thinking extends to the drying process. Uneven loads, tangled fabrics and repeat cycles are treated as inefficiencies rather than inconveniences, with technology designed to keep garments moving evenly and reduce wear over time.
For buyers, this is where the value proposition sharpens.
It is not about having more features. It is about removing friction.
Less maintenance. Less noise. Less time spent correcting what should have worked the first time.
In that sense, modern laundry is no longer just a utility. It is a reflection of how a home performs behind the scenes, and whether it lives up to the expectations set by everything else.
Because at this level, luxury is not just what you see.
It is what you don’t have to think about.
