The comfort doesn't stop there. The entire house features full insulation and double-glazing throughout, as well as the Fujitsu zoned ducted reverse cycle underfloor air-conditioning system to maintain comfortable temperature in every room.
The house is also fully electric, offering unbeatable energy efficiency, thanks to the premium Enphase solar + battery system, heat pump hot water system, and even the choice of individual appliances (including Bosch induction cooktop, Westinghouse oven, and an 8-star energy rated fridge). This makes energy bills extremely low in cooler months ($150 last July, even with EV charging), bringing them virtually to zero during summer.
The kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms are all generously proportioned with plenty of built-in storage and delightful design details, like custom joinery, lime-washed timber accent walls, and high-quality materials and finishes. Even the corridor that connects the living area with the rest of the house is more than a transitional space, ready to be customised to your preferences. Think a gallery wall and plenty of space for display cabinets or bookshelves.
The master bedroom enjoys a private view of the tiered back garden, planted with well-established, low-maintenance natives, inviting you to step outside and relax among nature.
This home is truly a rare find, effortlessly blending style, comfort, and function and offering you eco-conscious living in the heart of the Blue Mountains with absolutely no compromises.
