46 Vernon Street, South Kingsville VIC 3015

The need for a convenient city life no longer needs to clash with a desire to escape to the countryside. This unique offering on 668 sqm of tranquil, private land offers the best of both worlds. Created by architects Sunpower Design, this lovely home is surrounded by extensive gardens overflowing with fruit and nut trees, fragrant flowering plants and multiple vegetable patches. A chicken house at the rear of the property completes the rural feel. Sustainability was the design brief, with abundant north facing double glazing to passively collect winter sun while allowing the heat of summer to pass over head, and a heavily insulated building envelope to ensure an internal atmosphere of peace and blissful quiet. Combined with a grid connect solar system with 66c p/kwH feed in tariff (transferable to the new owner) and massive rain water storage, this property exceeds its brief for sustainable living. This home also provides solar hot water with instant gas back up, ducted evaporative cooling throughout, split system cooling in main living area, top up bottom down cordless honeycomb blinds, LED lighting, Nectre wood burning stove with bakers oven, recycled old growth jarrah flooring, attached garage/workshop and an incredible amount of internal storage. Living the good life!
