Sustainable sanctuary in central Old Grove
Sold 17/08/2016 $755,000
Centrally located in old Ocean Grove, just a short walk from the primary school, shops and parklands, this spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home is an eco-friendly sanctuary which is custom built and designed to last.
Passive heating and cooling principles are utilised so successfully that ducted heating and reverse cycle air conditioning are hardly necessary. Hebel cladding, double glazing and an underground brick DLUG deliver great thermal benefits and a large wood heater warms the whole house. Handcrafted custom features personalise the home, while oiled jarrah flooring and low-VOC paints deliver a beautiful interior finish with minimal chemicals.
In the secure landscaped garden, leafy vegetable beds, olive trees and happy chickens provide the freshest of home produce and a screened hot and cold shower works double time watering the garden and rinsing sandy feet.
Bi-fold doors open the kitchen/dining/living area to a covered deck with built-in pizza oven and seating, creating a welcoming social space for celebrations large and small. Tall raked ceilings add to the open effect.
In the spotless eat-in kitchen, stainless steel appliances lend an industrial feel to timber bench tops and white country-style joinery.
Upstairs, the lounge room offers dreamy treetop views and built-in seating with handy storage, while down below, a study behind the DLUG provides a perfectly secluded workspace.
Peaceful minor bedrooms feature built-in robes and the master comes with a luxurious en suite, walk-in robe and French doors to the rear deck. Bathrooms are close to living areas and bedrooms on both levels. Clever use of space maximises storage throughout.
Comfortable, spacious and sustainable, this welcoming home is built to last. Enjoy an inspection here.
