Offering an exceptional combination of sustainable design, generous space and central Glenlyon convenience, this thoughtfully designed and craftsman-built home occupies approximately one acre of level, fertile land with frontage to both Eldon Street and Barkly Street. With an impressive 8.1-star energy rating, the residence has been designed for comfort and efficiency, incorporating 30cm-thick light straw clay walls, lime render, double-glazed or insulated e-glass windows, Earth Wool insulation and a concrete slab with bamboo flooring.
The light-filled open-plan living area incorporates a well-appointed kitchen with bamboo benchtops, induction cooking, electric oven and a movable island bench, while the adjoining bedroom includes a walk-in robe. The deluxe bathroom features a distinctive circular bathroom window adding character and individuality, as well as a large walk-in shower and Japanese high-tech, water efficient toilet. A European laundry is discreetly included in the space as well.
Delightful details throughout include bespoke recycled Karri timber detailing, handmade timber doors and window frames.
A substantial 6.8m x 7.7m studio/workshop provides an inspiring space for an artist, craftsperson or home business, with water, power and concrete flooring. The space could also be adapted to additional living accommodation if required.
