A reluctant sale by the current owner with alot of thought, effort and expense in creating a home that is both energy and cost efficient with minimum impact on the environment. This is as close as you get to self sufficient living in the Suburbs.
This solid brick home was built in 1963 by G. Wood Constructions and nestled in a quiet location, close to all facilities. The home consists of 3 bedrooms in the main dwelling and separate 4th bedroom or studio. Updated bathroom features a spa bath.
Orientation of the house on the allotment is the first valuable lesson in energy efficiency. Double glazing to windows and roller shutters help maintain even temperatures inside the home.
Insulation to the roof space has been continually upgraded with batts, wool and cool and cosy with easy access via fold out aluminium loft ladder.
12 solar panels on the roof provides low cost electricity.
The hot water service is solar powered with back up electric booster which the current owner turns off between September and April as it is not required.
Rainwater is plumbed into the house and with plenty of water catchment the tanks are regularly topped up with even the lightest shower of rain.
Under cover parking will accommodate 4 vehicles with 2 under carport with remote door and 2 more in the lock up garage.
The organic garden and orchard will have you rarely at the supermarket with produce all year round. The variety of fruit is astounding including 20 different varieties of apples!
The 2 chickens supply plenty of fresh eggs, fertilizer and pest control for the vegie garden!
This amazing gem of a property is only 5 minutes walk to Medical and Specialist Centre, St Agnes Shopping Centre and Obahn bus into the city.
So here we have it!
Do not miss this rare opportunity!
Energy efficient, convenient and a healthy lifestyle!
