Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this meticulously-crafted home offers breathtaking views and showcases a range of features befitting its prestige location.
Designed by esteemed architect Mal Lee and constructed by the local builder Mike Smith, this structure exemplifies sustainability with its 8-star energy rating and the use of locally-sourced materials.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and multiple living zones across two levels, the layout provides for the ebb and flow of contemporary family life, with a prized synergy of efficiency and comfort.
An open-plan lounge and dining area features newly polished timber flooring throughout, and enjoys the light and theatre of vaulted ceilings and architectural accents. It flows seamlessly to the modern kitchen, which is both practical and elegant in its simplicity.
An expansive wraparound verandah extends the living space, and provides a ready stage for entertaining or simply soaking in the mountain vistas.
The garden and alfresco areas beyond are graced with blueberry bushes and fruit-bearing trees like avocado, olive, apple, pear and feijoas.
Imagine luxuriating in the master bathroom, which opens out to that private rear terrace via large glass doors!
The main bedroom is also secreted away on the ground level, while the additional bespoke bedrooms and accompanying bathroom occupy the upper floor and enjoy their own adjacent sitting room.
A separate study nook plus a studio/rumpus adjoining the garage add another layer of versatility to this abode.
Unsurprisingly, this property’s layout is oriented to maximise natural light and reduce reliance on artificial heating and cooling. This is cleverly bolstered by an underground venting system to redistribute cool air in summer, and a wood heater at the core of the home allowing the entire footprint to benefit in winter.
Hot water is assured, with solar the primary source, supported by a wet-back (fire-heating in winter) and electric booster.
Despite both the inner workings and aesthetics of this home being worthy of distinction, equal consideration has been given to the careful selection of premium construction materials.
The build incorporates hardwood from the Mount Beauty Timber Mill and red gum from the Ovens river flats, along with fire- and termite-retardant external timbers, multi-award winning Timbercrete masonry and hand-constructed double glazed windows.
In an extensive list of incredible characteristics, other notable features include:
- Radial sawn weatherboard exterior, custom awnings, skylights
- Freshly painted interiors
- Zoned electric slab heating
- Concreted driveway leading to a large garage and double carport
- Water tank for the garden, chook pen, veggie plots, dedicated compost
- Near-new insulated shed gives scope for home-based business
- Wireless NBN
This superb property is a stroll to the precinct park and Tawonga Store, and is easy walking distance to Tawonga Primary School and the local bus stop. It’s well-placed for a quick commute to the centre of Mount Beauty.
It is rare to find a residence so masterfully created and lovingly cared for by its original owner. Call Gabby today to book your inspection 0400568378 or [email protected]
