Standing out for its thoughtful design and strong focus on sustainability, this distinctive three-bedroom home has been architecturally crafted to deliver exceptional family comfort while embracing environmentally conscious living. The practical layout seamlessly combines solar passive and adaptive principles with a mix of textures and materials, creating a home that feels both playful and sophisticated.
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living area, enhanced by high raked ceilings and a Morso slow combustion fireplace that provides exceptional warmth throughout the cooler months. Large north-facing stacking sliding doors allow natural light to pour in and create a seamless connection to the outdoor entertaining deck and rear gardens.
Centrally positioned, the modern kitchen offers generous bench space, soft-close drawers, an island bench with breakfast bar, a built-in SMEG multifunction oven with induction cooktop and a newly installed Miele dishwasher, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes are positioned alongside the main bathroom. Complimenting the space are the Velux roof windows upstairs, which allow for natural light to flow in. Downstairs, the third bedroom is complemented by a second bathroom and enjoys its own external access, allowing it to function easily as a home office or guest suite.
The oversized single garage offers excellent storage options, including mezzanine storage, and houses the laundry at the rear with a large workbench. An electric garage door offers a versatile door for both pedestrian access or vehicle, for added convenience.
The rear garden has been carefully landscaped to suit the Australian climate, combining hardy native plantings with productive vegetable, herb, and fruit gardens. The large rear deck is perfectly suited to alfresco entertaining, complete with an external gasmate BBQ and an outlook over the established greenery, an ideal space to relax or host family and friends. To the rear of the block is the standalone studio, which acts as a great space for a home office or workout room.
The home's commitment to sustainability is evident throughout, with features including a 3.5kW photovoltaic system with panels positioned above the deck, an Evershine solar inverter, double glazing throughout, Velux roof windows, low-energy lighting, a Sanden heat pump hot water system and hydronic in-slab heating servicing five key areas of the home. A 5,000-litre rainwater tank is discreetly positioned beneath the deck, while split-system air conditioning units on the lower level provide additional year-round comfort.
Wright is located centrally within the Molonglo Valley, allowing it to be in close proximity to key hubs throughout Canberra.
