Overview

THE GLASSHOUSE

This unique home is defined by light-filled interiors and striking architectural detail, with full height double glazing enhancing the open plan living, whilst framing outlooks towards the historic stone bridge and Beechworth Gorge. A private paved garden provides a welcoming pathway to this one of a kind home, where the living, dining and kitchen area brings together exposed steel, concrete and brass finishes, complemented by soft textiles and subtle tones. The wood fireplace creates a distinctive focal point, while burnished concrete flooring adds texture and understated appeal throughout the living spaces. An impressive kitchen features a statement island bench with brass detailing and leathered finish quartzite surfaces, alongside a combination of gas and electric cooking. Two downstairs bedrooms offer comfortable, light-filled accommodation, each with a ceiling fan and a peaceful ambience. The central bathroom brings a touch of individuality with handmade tiles, a deep bath and shower. Upstairs, hardwood floors introduce a more private retreat, with a second living area temperature controlled by cassette split system heating and cooling. The master suite includes a walk-in robe and ceiling fan complemented by a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a clawfoot bath, separate shower and toilet. A fourth bedroom, complete with built-in robes and a ceiling fan, provides further flexibility for family or guests. A spacious laundry with external access adds to the home's practical functionality. The home's impressive environmental credentials include hydronic heating throughout, and an 8 Kw solar system, whilst the double-glazed timber windows with argon gas provide an additional layer of insulation and comfort. Outdoors, beautifully landscaped gardens create a private and peaceful setting, complemented by an inviting plunge pool for refreshing early morning dips. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed to balance privacy, sustainability and ease of maintenance.
