Experience the future of sustainable living in this architecturally designed masterpiece by multi-award-winning architect Ric Butt. This striking property redefines modern living, blending sophisticated style with smart, passive solar design.
Polished concrete, glass, and steel have been used to create a dramatic industrial aesthetic that is not just visually stunning but also functional. These materials act as a thermal mass and, along with the home's passive solar design principles, help maintain a comfortable 22°C year-round, virtually eliminating the need for heating or cooling. The addition of timber accents, lots of natural light, and soft, neutral tones balance the industrial elements, resulting in a home that is energy-efficient, stylish, and comfortable.
A central open-plan living, dining, and kitchen form the communal heart of the home, with vaulted ceilings that amplify the sense of space, abundant natural light, and stacker doors that blur the boundary between inside and out, creating a fluid living and entertaining zone, perfect for the Australian indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The sleek kitchen blends style and functionality, catering to the modern family with ample storage and bench space, stainless steel appliances, and a gas cooktop.
The four bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for separation of living, with two on either side of a central living area, each pair sharing a bathroom. This layout offers versatile options for family living, hosting guests, or setting up a home office. Additional features include instant gas hot water, a water tank plumbed to the house, quality window coverings, European-style laundry, a single carport, and a storage shed.
Outside, the fully fenced yard has a lawn area for kids and pets to play and raised garden beds to supplement your table with homegrown produce. The north-facing aspect maximises the natural light, and the pergola promises future shade as the climbers mature, creating an ideal setting for alfresco entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surrounds.
Tucked away at the end of a long drive in the established, leafy suburb of Macquarie, this home boasts tranquillity while being conveniently close to amenities. Shops, primary school, early learning, and transport are all a short walk away, while Jamison Plaza and Belconnen town centre are a five-minute drive. Easy access to arterial roads provides smooth connectivity to ANU, UC, the city, and surrounding areas.
This is an opportunity to secure a property at the cutting edge of stylish passive solar design and is truly unique in the very best sense of the word. Call the office for inspection times and come and experience this standout property for yourself.
