The Durack

Winner: 2000 Golden Key Award for the South West Display Home of the Year.
The Durrack is a classic home with simple lines and functional features that have made it a dream home for so many people desiring a true Australian homestead.
Cleverly designed to split into two living zones – the children’s and the adults – this beautiful home gives everyone their own space.
The zones are expertly tied together by the large free-form living space in the middle of the home. Enjoy family space, dining areas, and a modern kitchen. Of course, it wouldn’t be a farmhouse without a big walk in pantry, and this time we’ve taken kitchen design to a different level after involving ourselves with a celebrity chef. The design elements allow the cook to be part of the home and face the family and guests rather than turning one’s back. And, as always, we provide the very best in appliances and appointments.
On one side you’ll find the parents retreat and master suite, next to a home office which can actually be used externally if one wishes to put an outside door to the room, enabling it to be used as a true farm office.
The children’s wing has bedrooms large enough for a queen-sized beds and bedroom 4 could easily be a guest room. These bedrooms are located around the bathroom and laundry.
The activity area could also double up as another TV viewing space, a place for the computers or just somewhere for their toys if there are younger children.
We believe this home epitomises what a homestead house should be; a fitting tribute to its namesake, the famous Western Australian pioneering family, the Duracks.
