Price Guide: $735,000
Glorious views and gully breezes are given an ulterior motive in a way only an awarded 2010 Balance Home knows how - with low cost climate control.
So, where do you build a custom, two-level entertainer with sun-drenched decks and north-facing views? Panorama of course - just 20 minutes south of the city. Its modern eco-friendly exterior looks as good as eco-living feels - a textural triumph of Colourbond, weatherboard, glass and Jarrah, evolving into life above the trees.
But some of the homes finest assets are unseen; thermal mass floor heating warrants a socks-off experience, eco-panels subtly warm each room, and bill-busting solar panels soak in sun above. Plumbed, double filtered rainwater with optional mains connection - watch your savings grow...
As its visible beauty shines with louvred and hopper windows, and Comfort Glass sliding doors for that valuable breeze in/breeze out - much like its entertaining ability. The upper level affirms the best seats in the house; open plan living merges outdoors to recycled Jarrah decks absorbing the best of summer or winter sun, as the social kitchen oversees it all.
Leaving you to plan dinner parties under the stars; saluting views of Somerton Park's pines, plane departures, or Pt. Adelaide - sit, sip, and watch. An upstairs study (with built-ins) offers the flexibility for stayovers, a home office, or baby's room opposite the master, sharing a guest powder and separate WC with the living zone.
Dreaming of all-day sleep-ins? The master with balcony invites the Windy Point lights to soothe, gully breezes to tickle the linen, and an ensuite/walk-in robe duo for easy daily rituals. Three bedrooms sit below, as one ably converts to a living area meeting the lower deck. Armed with AV connection, wet area and ample storage, it's valuable versatility comes complete with modern bathroom and light-infused laundry alongside.
And the location - Pasadena Green, private school bus links, and a short stroll to Clapham Primary and Pasadena High equals sustainable living in convenient style.
