Great design and good living come together at this grand address! As new Architect designed to the meticulous environmental standards of its energy-expert owners, this house was listed as a finalist in Bayside's Built Environment Awards for best environmentally sustainable design. This up to four bedroom, two bathroom home is a showcase of 6 Star sustainable design, innovative construction and streamlined style. Double-glazed CertainTeed windows and doors feature throughout, high-specification insulation is fitted even to interior walls and LED lights make an appearance. With reverse-cycle air-conditioning supplemented by a gas-log fireplace and substantial ceiling fans, the home is fastidiously detailed with Greybox box flooring, bespoke cabinetry and cleverly designed lighting systems including flexible track lighting.
Oriented to maximise warming north sun, cooling bay-breezes and outlooks to landscaped and lit coastal gardens at every turn, this clever single-level home suits every stage of family life with a private garden-access master wing (featuring triple robes and a skylit dual vanity ensuite with 'window-box' shower) and a quiet secondary bedroom wing. Extending along a window-walled north-facing gallery, the home opens wide to a spectacular vaulted-ceiling living zone with ceilings soaring to 3.6m and glass doors opening to decking in two directions.
Beyond the above-expectation energy efficiencies, all the prestige extras are here too - including a naturally lit walk-in pantry for the Miele and CaesarStone kitchen, a luxe main spa-bathroom and a generous double auto-garage with storeroom. Situated on the sunny westerly side of this iconic Brighton beach precinct address, this low-energy home has a high-energy location within three blocks of Hampton St's cafes and shopping, a walk to the South Rd schools and a minute of the bay and Brighton Beach station.
