The original part of the home consists of two king size bedrooms, a spacious family room and a lovely, large bathroom featuring American Beech cabinetry, twin basins, a shower, bath and a separate toilet. There is also a modern third queen size bedroom which is currently used as a study and home gym.

Walking through the home from front to back, the traditional aspects transition into the stunning contemporary addition. The use of polished concrete in the new part of the home contrasts with the wide jarrah floorboards in the original section completing this transition.

The striking extension encompasses a large open plan kitchen, dining and family room, a study/scullery, a laundry and the master suite. This area has been designed to take maximum advantage of the abundant northern light. A wall of north facing, 17.5 metre wide, 3.5m high commercial grade sliding glass doors can be pushed back to create a huge indoor/outdoor space, making this area perfect for all forms of entertainment, from children's birthday parties to elegant cocktail parties.

To ensure year round comfort, the architect integrated solar passive principles into the design of the extension. The main living area receives abundant northern sun during the winter, warming the concrete floor however the large overhanging eaves eliminate all direct sunlight in summer, when the sun is higher in the sky. The use of louvered windows allow for cross ventilation which moderate the temperature all year round, reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. Solar panels add to the energy efficiency of the home.

The beautiful kitchen is a highlight of the home and features a large Caesar stone island bench with feature stone tiling, stainless steel bench tops and splash backs, premium quality sink, cooktop and tap ware and Neff and Miele appliances. Just off the kitchen there is a huge walk in pantry with extensive built in shelving. It also has a large built in desk, enabling it to be used as a homework/study area. The laundry has been designed as an extension of the kitchen, with matching stainless steel bench tops and white cabinetry.

The master suite has been positioned at the rear of the home, providing terrific separation and privacy. It features a private study, dressing room and spacious ensuite. The study could also be utilised as a nursery or easily converted into a second walk in robe if desired.

The huge alfresco entertaining area has outdoor speakers and overlooks lovely landscaped gardens with feature hand crafted stone garden lighting from Vietnam.

The owners have made special provision for storage and the home features three separate storerooms. An additional walk in storeroom inside the home provides a handy space to store linen, sporting equipment and general household equipment. A workshop/shed at the rear of the home will appeal to the avid handy man, whilst the large, lockable and fully concealed storeroom at the front of the home houses larger items such a golf clubs, bikes and larger gardening equipment.
