Situated in a quiet suburban setting amongst the natural landscape of local flora and fauna is this refreshingly unique and architecturally designed home that is perfect for those searching for something a bit different. Close to local amenities and only a few minutes to the CBD, the house is set on a sizeable 2500m2+ allotment with only established ironbark/gum trees and native shrub as your outlook, providing peace and tranquility so close to civilization!! The house itself was before its time, and is reminiscent of some of the modern architecture being used in “pod” builds today. Built in the mid 1990’s, the property has survived the test of time with flying colours, and is as relevant today as the day it was built. Its passive solar design takes in a northerly aspect which floods the property with natural light. Cross flow ventilation keeps the temperature in check, whilst a solar panel system assists with paying the bills. The home is also equipped with ceiling fans, in floor heating, open fire places and split system heating/cooling to assist with the natural temperature control. The floor plan will suit a couple or young families alike. Designed so that parents or couples have their own private retreat up one end, it allows privacy and flexibility all at once. The “parents retreat” wing features master bedroom with its own pergola draped in grape vines, walk in robe and ensuite, as well as spacious lounge with 70’s inspired open fire place, cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and built in cabinetry, plus home office or library as well. The remaining two bedrooms are situated in the main section of the house and are complete with built in robes, and are separated by the family bathroom boasting shower + bath, separate toilet, and good sized laundry. The open plan section of the home encompasses the kitchen, dining and second living areas. The kitchen and meals area features rustic slate tiling underfoot, along with soaring cathedral ceilings above with exposed timber beams, and beautiful big windows allowing plenty of natural light. The kitchen is in terrific order, and provides plenty of bench and cupboard space along with electric cooking facilities, and dishwasher. The second living space is an addition to the original home, and features beautiful polished concrete flooring , solid fuel heater and sliding glass doors to a sheltered alfresco courtyard. Outside, the property has been well maintained and offers over a half an acre of space to utilise. The cottage style garden at the front makes it extremely appealing to passers by, and provides a welcoming feeling when you drive in from work every day. Shady verandas are sheltered by leafy vines, and a return driveway accesses a double garage at the front has an automated door. There is drive through vehicle access at the side of the house to a 6x4m shed and carport at the rear, and is ideal for those who want to store a caravan or boat off the street and out of view. A decked alfresco and bbq area provides a great space for outdoor entertaining and is sheltered from the elements all year round. The rest is up to you, with plenty of room at the back for further ideas including a larger shed, veggie garden or whatever your mind comes up with! This refreshingly unique property will ideally suit those wanting the lifestyle and feel of out of town living combined with the convenience of everything at your doorstep. No doubt there will be buyers out there that will fall in love with the character and charm of this property, so don’t miss out on being one of them. Call now to arrange an inspection
