From the moment you enter this light-filled mid century modern home you'll notice the architectural features that create a sense of space, tranquility, and that intangible 'good feel' quality.
Showcasing the key principles of modern design - northern orientation, earthy materials, flat roof and planes, indoor/outdoor connection and functional floor plan - the home has been cleverly positioned on approximately 5 acres to capture bush and garden views from every room. A mixed palette of materials has been used in the extensive renovation of this lovely home: exposed recycled bricks, River Red Gum posts from the Barmah forest, high timber ceilings, vast cedar windows, French oak flooring and lush carpets. Clerestory windows and a glassed roof breezeway fill the interior with natural light, and extra-wide overhanging eaves provide sun control in summer.
The layout includes a family sitting area near the kitchen, a separate lounge room or media room, and a kids' retreat - providing both pockets of separation as well as family living spaces.
The spacious master bedroom wing of the house has an open fire place, garden views, with French doors opening onto the north facing deck. The luxurious ensuite features Moroccan tiles, double basins and frameless double shower.
The children's zone is located at the other end of the house, and includes a 'retreat', which alternatively could be used as a private sitting room, a private ensuite for bedroom two, and a family bathroom and separate toilet for bedrooms three and four.
The property is fully fenced and has two dams, providing water (when needed) for the Japanese style water-wise garden, replete with Japanese maples, clumping bamboo, and a dry creek bed. There are also a number of fruit trees, a vegie patch, chook shed and abundant bird life.
Bordered by state forest to the north (with its many walk and bike tracks) and with only minutes to Ballarat CBD and freeway access, this unique property is not to be missed.
