You know the good old Aussie tune. Well life among the gum trees doesn't get much better than this. A rare find in terms of design and positioning, it is the undercover attributes and passive solar gains that bring kapow to this incredible property over approximately five acres at tranquil Sandford.
What may look like your normal two-story brick abode on arrival will captivate you with its energy efficient standouts. A decadent floor plan of approximately 38 squares boasts multiple living, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, stunning vistas, outdoor in-built wood fired oven and a super-sized downstairs industrial area equipped to host any version of work or play.
Energy efficiencies are a highlight of the home. Solar panels and five thermal storage walls to absorb and maintain heat are strategically positioned in accordance to sun trajectory ensuring you are warm in winter, cooler in summer and hardly have to turn on the heat pump that also comes provided for those just in case moments.
A treasured blend of brick and timber feature with exposed beams, personal touches and craftsmanship are the standouts. The main living area sits upstairs with a fabulous internal atrium that will quickly become your favourite haunt. It flows into a massive living/lounge with expansive windows and accompanying window seat to frame a spectacular panorama sitting above Clifton Beach stretching as far as the eye can see towards Eaglehawk Neck.
A large kitchen supports with high benches to shield culinary activity whilst the breakfast bar wraps around the high bench tops. Upstairs steps onto a wrap verandah large enough to entertain or to guide gently to an incredible outdoor undercover entertaining zone, complete with your own custom built wood oven for Friday night pizzas or roasting cook ups.
The master bedroom steps off from the main living with water views, walk-in-robe and timber ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms flow off a large rumpus with quirky mezzanine levels in a dreamy spot for kids to sleep or for storage. Supporting main bathroom, cupboard laundry and rear ramped access complete the top level.
Glass encased internal stairs lead to the lower domain where standout space waits including double secure lock-up garage and enormous downstairs entertaining, work or playroom with its own external access and wait for it heated floor and separate bathroom.
Everything has been thought of in this clever example of modern living. Impressive scenery, native bush, sprawling floor plan, landscaped grounds plus all the benefits of energy efficiencies, this is a package to keep the entire family happy.
