Ideally located in a quiet tranquil setting backing directly onto a lake, this is a rare offering, a home designed and built by architect David Hodge as his own residence, and one of only a handful of properties in Rockingham with direct access to a lake. It carries the hallmarks of a home an architect created for himself: perfect orientation, quality craftsmanship, exceptional finishes, and every detail considered, with no compromises.
Designed on universal design principles for effortless single-level living - with step-free entry and generous wide doorways and hallways throughout - this is a home you can settle into for decades, not just years. Light fills the home through floor-to-ceiling windows, large sliding windows and an abundance of skylights, offering views over the surrounding garden to the lake beyond.
Comfort in every season was engineered into the home's very fabric. Carefully dimensioned roof overhangs on the northern face welcome the winter sun while shading the summer heat, soaring 3-metre ceilings in the living and dining areas vent naturally into the attic to let hot air escape, and opposing openings draw cross-breezes through the home. This passive design is backed by modern systems: under floor heating throughout, zoned ducted reverse cycle air conditioning with individual temperature sensors, and ceiling fans in every room. A home that stays comfortable year-round while the 11kW solar array keeps running costs to a minimum.
Outdoor living is equally considered. A generous entertaining deck on the eastern entrance side offers complete privacy and its own outdoor shower - perfect after a day at the beach - while a second deck flows directly off the dining area, extending everyday living into the outdoors. Reticulated garden beds along the entire northern face keep the outlook green with minimal effort.
The floor plan offers three bedrooms plus a dedicated home office or nursery adjoining the master suite, and two distinct living zones: a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area, and a separate light-filled living room overlooking the garden and lake. The master wing sits privately at one end of the home, well separated from the minor bedrooms, ideal when family or guests come to stay.
And while the setting feels like a private retreat, everything is at hand: The Anchorage village is a short stroll away with its grocery store, bakery, hairdresser and restaurant, Palm Beach is a 20-minute walk, and the shops, medical centres, schools and foreshores of Rockingham and Safety Bay are within a five-minute drive.
This home is truly one of a kind and would be the perfect opportunity for those wanting to downsize to a low maintenance property, without compromising on quality or location.
