Enter a spacious and versatile open-plan kitchen and living area with soaring 6 metre ceilings, timber windows, and superb Italian tiles. An efficient combustion fireplace warms the entire home.
French doors open to the alfresco area and the back garden from both the living room and the master bedroom.
Above is a loft bedroom, which could be used as another sitting room or studio which leads to the balcony.
The house was completed in 2010 and was designed for low energy, sustainable living and thermal comfort. The excellent natural insulation properties of the ½ metre thick walls keep the home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The construction comprises of load bearing steel and termite treated timber framework, with straw bale walls as infill. The walls were rendered with three coats of lime which was applied by machine for superior sealing. The foundation has a Kordon termite barrier.
The home is plumbed for both mains water and rain water and can switch between both.
The large 900m² allotment allows the option to extend another day, if necessary (stcc).
