38 Stretton Drive

Torquay VIC 3228

Positioned in the Stretton Estate, this is a proper family home with a clear focus on design, energy efficiency, and everyday liveability.Its passive solar with a strong 7.3 star energy rating, and you feel it straight away. Natural light, airflow, and spaces that make sense not wasted space, not overdone.Downstairs is where it all comes together.A large open plan living zone connects seamlessly to a north facing garden, with oversized sliding doors creating an easy indoor outdoor flow. Its the kind of space that works just as well for quiet nights as it does when the house is full.A wood fire sits at the centre and adds a bit of warmth and character, while a flexible front room gives you options bedroom, home office, or both. Theres also a powder room and storage space that could be adapted if single level living ever became important.Upstairs shifts into a more private zone, with a second living area that takes in elevated views stretching from Torquay through to the peninsula. The bedrooms are generous, the bathrooms are well proportioned, and the materials carry through to keep everything consistent without trying too hard.This isnt a volume build. Its been thought through properly from the use of concrete, slate and timber, through to how the home actually performs.Youve got double glazing throughout, a 6.4kW solar system backed by a Tesla Powerwall battery, efficient all electric appliances including induction cooking, a heat pump hot water system, and a well insulated building envelope that keeps things comfortable year round. Heating and cooling is handled by a multi head split system that can be controlled centrally or individually.Set in a strong pocket of North Torquay, you can leave the car at home and walk to schools, shops and childcare, with the beach only minutes away.Its a smart home, in every sense efficient, flexible, and built to last.
