A newly built home by sought-after architect Rosalie Stollery, designed to read the landscape as much as it sits within it. Positioned on one of the area's most elevated streets, on the Goonellabah border, the residence captures north-facing mountain and hinterland views that cannot be built out. Passive solar design does the quiet work here: every main living space and bedroom is oriented north to draw in winter light, while timber louvres, skylights and a landscaped courtyard pull cooling cross-breezes through the home and soften the afternoon sun. The result is a home that stays cool in summer and warm in winter, with light-filled living grounded by warm timber flooring throughout.
Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study area span two storeys, with a two-bedroom layout downstairs that has its own separate access. Whether that becomes a guest wing, a teenage retreat, extended-family living or a future income stream is yours to decide. A generous entertaining verandah runs across both levels, extending the living outward toward the view, and a wood fireplace anchors the home for cooler hinterland evenings. The easy-care garden leaves room for a pool should you want one, and a 5,000L rainwater tank and covered double garage handle the practical side.
For buyers wanting more, the adjoining block to the right is also available, a rare chance to secure extra land and privacy in a single move.
