THIS IS THE LIFE

As sleek and stylish as it unquestionably is, Jessica and Mark’s home is anything but precious. “The house does take a bit of a beating with three young children running around, but the materials and finishes we chose are really robust so everything is holding up extremely well. It’s just a great family house. There’s also a lovely reserve right on our doorstep, which is brilliant for the kids and the outdoor lifestyle we love.”
