It is a tribute to its appeal that this lovely site has remained in the one family since the original house was built in the 1940's. When the came time to build a new house, many of the good quality materials were recycled including the heart Rimu weatherboards and the 100 year old front door. Utilising the design talents of architect Roger Buck combined with the owners own knowledge on energy efficiency this unique home boasts a subtle point of difference on the outside but displays complete originality on the inside. Maximising natural solar gain, the double concrete block construction provides thermal mass, storing and then gradually releasing the sun's heat. Curved walls, leadlight windows and the Jarrah timber features are testimony to the specific detailing and demand for the exceptionally high standard of fittings throughout the home. Light, spacious living areas look out to every corner of the easy-care gardens and offer a practical flow to both the stylish kitchen and outdoor patios. Downstairs, the third bedroom with doors to a Japanese inspired courtyard garden can be utilised as additional living space or simply as a tranquil bedroom. Upstairs the main bedroom has its own luxurious ensuite with spa bath and leads to a wide, sunny balcony. The second bedroom is equally as spacious with a semi-ensuite bathroom as the large office is also located on this level. The grounds have been cleverly landscaped to require minimal upkeep and whilst many would be hesitant to relinquish the gardens and separate bespoke studio it would be possible to subdivide and build a second home. Deceptively simple with engaging options for those looking for a contemporary, energy efficient home and a fantastic alternative to townhouse or apartment living.
