Big Selling Point -
The light-filled kitchen, with on-trend brass taps and a colour scheme similar to Pantone's Serenity (one of 2016's colours of the year), is straight out of a design magazine:

Possible Deal Breaker -
The backyard doesn't have any grass - a conscious decision by the builder, who reasoned that home buyers wouldn't be interested in mowing any. Anyone looking to set up a slip n' slide will have to borrow a friend's backyard:
