This warm family-oriented, contemporary residence is superbly located in an elevated position. The well insulated four bedroom home faces north, perfectly orientated for a passive solar design and enjoys views to Pittwater to Coal valley and beyond.

The home has European double-glazing throughout with solar PV panels for feed-in tariff reduction, along with solar hot water. A centrally located fireplace creates the ambience and comfort with panel heaters and reverse cycle air conditioning to keep the home comfortable whatever the weather. Cross-ventilation along with shading from the muscatel grape vine and wisteria shields the house in summer, while allowing sunlight to warm the home in winter when the vine leaves drop. The practical and purposeful design is energy efficient, proving the value of the passive solar design.

The large formal living area opens onto a paved terrace and is the focus of the home. The cleverly designed inbuilt bookcase defines both the dining and living area. A spacious, functional kitchen has quality bench tops and Miele appliances and boasts a large walk-in pantry with easy access between the kitchen, pantry and double garage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a study nook, for menu planning or for children to work on the computer while under parental supervision.

The main bedroom upstairs has a walk-in robe, en-suite and opens out through French Doors to a balcony providing a peaceful spot to capture warm eastern sun while enjoying the stunning outlook. A nook upstairs, directly above the ground floor nook is designed as a provision for a future lift to the upper level. There is also a studio/office upstairs. There are three good size bedrooms on the ground floor and a spacious bathroom.

The comfort of the home extends beyond the internal living spaces with a level patio, and gentle sloping land at the front of the property. The garden includes a large orchard, nut and olive trees along with four raised vegetable beds with water piped to most zones of the garden from either town water or from the rainwater tank.

Immaculately presented, an easy 15 to 20 minute drive to Hobart CBD, close to the Royal Hobart Golf Club, pristine beaches and the Hobart Airport, both the property itself and surrounding grounds are delightful and sure to impress.
