Perfect harmony resides where this consummate passive solar conversion couples sublime contemporary styling with authentic heritage character.
Architect designed to incorporate a wealth of eco-friendly elements, this remarkable residence sets the highest standards in quality and contemporary sustainable living. Encompassing every modern expectation also equates to exceptional comfort without any compromise on style.
Double insulated walls and ceilings, double glazed windows, hydronic plus wood heating, solar-assisted split system and excellent cross-ventilation are integral features. Re-roofed, replumbed, rewired, re-plastered and repainted, top quality energy plus water saving appliances and fittings throughout ensure efficiency.
Further enhancing cost-effective living, solar electricity supplies all power, and underground tanks contain 9000 litre rainwater capacity. Fill your fruit bowl from a wide selection of food-bearing trees irrigated by a grey water system.
Built circa 1915, beneath ten-foot ceilings the original residence now contains three bedrooms (main with en suite and WIR), family bathroom and multi-purpose room for use as fourth bedroom, home office or lounge. Roof storage with ladder. Laundry, hallway and sunny courtyard connect the extension, where expansive north-facing open plan living with soaring raked ceiling indulges in a deluge of sunshine and daylight, absorbed in winter by polished concrete flooring.
Stunning recycled timbers, quality Miele appliances and clerestory windows are found in the custom-made kitchen, opposite a sunny easterly 'e-station' desk drenched in light. Incidentally, the interior is wired for TV, data and phone throughout and even has built-in speakers.
An automated awning shelters new spotted gum decking at the rear, and a magnificent Australian white cedar with designer cubby beneath befittingly takes centre stage in this blissful family habitat.
Though off-street parking for a vehicle is secured behind the picket fence, this superior location means a car is rarely required. CBD, waterfront, schools, supermarket, park, bus and train station are all an easy walk or cycle away.
This extraordinary, environmentally responsible property is situated just four doors from prestigious Pakington Street.
