Foster North VIC 3960

Built by professional builders some 30 years ago using natural materials including mudbrick, timber, warm red brick and slate, you step through the stained-glass front door into an airy double height entry hall leading to an open plan, slate tiled living area with generous garden views.

The traditional hardwood kitchen has a spacious pantry and extra storage under the stairs which is perfect for wine, preserves and cleaning materials.

A light filled family meals area off the kitchen provides a wonderful space for entertaining, or just whiling away the hours sitting in the window reading a book and watching the native birds in the gardens.

The sitting room/ lounge has as a focal point a large brick fireplace and chimney, with slow combustion wood stove that creates a cosy heat bank in winter.
Whilst all around the changing light and colour from the garden encroaches into the living areas via the large windows.
A door from the sitting room leads to a covered al fresco entertaining area perfect for that end of the day gin or barbeque.

Returning to the entry hall, on the left sits a family bathroom with a over bath shower and toilet, then a practical laundry with plenty of storage and a 2nd toilet.
A comfortable light filled bedroom on the right has large windows overlooking the gardens and paved courtyard.
Whilst 2 more generous bedrooms are located on the 2nd floor along with another bathroom with a shower and toilet.

A garden shed and studio office or sleepout sit next to the house perfect for the home handy person or working from home.

The productive garden includes raised vegetable beds and established fruit trees, watered from the waterlily covered dam.

Water for the house is provided by approx. 100,000 litres of rainwater tanks.
A 3.5KW (approx.) solar system helps with bills.
A split system airconditioner sits in the lounge for those chilly days and warm nights.
The house has internet connectivity and wastewater is processed by a septic system.
