For you, the city waits within just ten minutes from this robust three bedroom home that was extended to create striking contrast between two vastly different eras and styles.

With polished pine floors, high ceilings and generous light-filled spaces, the original home is exactly how you'd expect and want it to be.

Where as the addition takes the texture and warmth of Victorian Ash cladding and wraps it around a 'box' of open-plan living; punctuated by its polished concrete floors and pieced together by almost entirely recycled materials.

Not that this clever addition was just thrown together.

No, the way the winter sun hits the concrete slab and warms naturally until the electric in-floor heating takes over later in the night is a carefully planned, money saving function for this solar powered home.

Exposed brick, timber benchtops, a chalk-boarded pantry door and a Nectre fireplace add further eclectic warmth to an addition that steps out to a timber decked patio in what is a pretty special rear garden.

With an array of fruit-bearing trees from mango to Nashi pear and many in between a chook pen, and raised veggie patches so you can pick and choose fresh herbs at will, it's a yard that not only adds to the home's sustainable ways, but implores the kids to drop the iPads, fill their lungs with fresh air and learn a thing or two in the process.

Got ten minutes? The time it takes by foot to get from your front door to the cafes of Queen Street or Abbots and Kinney. Special, indeed.
