Home designs with a Walk-In pantry are certainly popular. The big advantage is the amount of storage space you can create with a big pantry and the easy access you can gain to everything on the shelves. There’s also a lot of flexibility in how you set it up – especially when compared with the standard pantry cupboard. Another popular home design feature is open access from the garage straight into the pantry. The big advantage here is how easy it makes putting away the groceries after a trip to the supermarket. But one of the innovative home designs we’ve introduced for Mackay is the combination of these features with a Walk-Through Pantry. Our new display, the Panama 275, features a pantry with open access at both ends (and it’s very long). One end is adjacent to the garage door, giving easy access for putting away the groceries. It also leads into the hall and the centre of the home, including access to the kitchen and dining area. At the other end is a Butler’s Pantry and open access to the other side of the kitchen. If you want even more space in the pantry (although it is pretty huge!), you can opt to close off the extra passageway and add more shelves. If you want to see just how big and functional this pantry is, check out the display home at Richmond Hills Estate – open 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Monday.
