A Flexible, Sustainable And Eco-Friendly Lifestyle

Set amongst a peaceful private, fully landscaped garden, a harmonious blending of natives and a combination of fruit bearing trees that provide "infinite boundaries", a wonderfully relaxing outlook and a haven for visiting bird life, this unique home delivers a flexible, sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle just a short walk from the centre of Eltham, schools, parks and Montsalvat.

By taking advantage of local climate and site conditions, the owners, their architects and their builders incorporated passive solar principles to maximise thermal efficiency with a carefully considered choice of building materials inside and out. Their intent was to reduce home energy use as cost-effectively as possible, without compromising on comfort, convenience, lifestyle or location...it's fair to say they achieved their aims!

Intelligent design introduces a floorplan offering three bedrooms including main with a spa ensuite featuring walk in shower, a "suncatch" - the ideal reading or TV nook, study and a large kitchen.

Fitted with reclaimed Jarrah benches and Blanco appliances, it allows the chef to be apart of everything that's going on, whether it is in the vast north facing living zone or the dining area. Both enjoy a seamless transition to the garden to provide relaxing private spaces for entertaining friends or just quiet contemplation.

With double glazing, 12 solar panels, water tanks totalling 45,000 litres (plumbed to house) and raised veggie gardens, all add to sustainable self sufficiency while a large double carport, storeroom/workshop, easy accessibility for the mobility impaired and the bonus of dual access to the 1,300m2 allotment (approx) underscore innovative, sustainable living without compromise.
