This home was built in the 1970s to house an active family. The brief was that there be areas for the small children, a studio for one of the artist parents, open-plan living, huge hobby room under for boisterous children's play, 4-car garage and extensive space at back for engineer husband's tinkering, well-proportioned covered wrap around deck on the north and eastern sides of the home - all to be achieved on a strict budget.
* Segregated master bedroom with built-in robe and door to to east-facing deck. Adjoining is a shower/dressing room
* Bedrooms 2 and 3 are single size, have built-in robes and are north-facing
* Spacious north-facing studio was used by the current owners as a bedroom and has a reverse cycle airconditioner
* Large north-facing living area has attractive parquetry flooring. This area comprises the lounge, dining and kitchen area. It has a Vulcan gas console heater. Door to deck and door to internal staircase to lower level garages, hobby and workshop space are accessed from lounge
* Bathroom with shower over bath and toilet
* Another separate toilet has hand basin
* Good sized laundry with built-in cupboards and door to outside
* Hall way in bedroom wing was designed to be large - was used by children as a separate play area when they were very small. This arrangement worked very well. Current owners had bookshelves either side which was an excellent and attractive use of the space
* Four car garage under the home has tons fo space at the back for a workshop and storage
* Large storage room has been used to house an extensive wine collection
* Enormous hobby room under could have multiple uses - it is north-facing and light-filled
I commend this individual and interesting example of 1970s livable urban design to you. Come and inspect this weekend.
