Years of planning and research went into designing this unique Lennox Head beach house. From the materials used, to the positioning of each room, a huge amount of thought has gone into maximising our coastal climate and lifestyle, and creating an environmentally-friendly home that is as beautiful as it is functional.
Built to echo the style of the old beach style homes of the 1950s, the three level home – which enjoys ocean views from the upstairs living area – is constructed with materials similar in look to chamfer boards, fibro with timber windows, and has a pitch roof.
It features an energy efficient passive solar design, which includes good-width eaves over doors and windows, high north facing windows that allow an abundance of natural light, cross ventilation, and a Cardiff air system that brings cool air from the basement to circulate through all floors, eliminating the need for air conditioning. Other energy efficient features include solar cell electricity production, low energy lights, and gas as a secondary energy source for the kitchen, bbq and hot water system.
Other green features of the property include water-efficient appliances, a 45,000L water tank built into the foundations and a small, low maintenance lawn area.
The house is designed to be highly adaptable to cater for long term residency of those who are 50 years plus. The main living area and main bedroom are located on the ground level- and there is a dumb waiter from the basement to all floors. The entrance is currently by western stair access but this can be changed to allow for eastern ramp and wheelchair access.
Underground parking and storage add to the functionality and liveability of this home.
The property is Torrens Title so no strata meetings are needed.
The location speaks for itself – it is just a short, level walk to Lennox Heads beautiful beaches, a fantastic choice of coffee shops, restaurants, the Lennox Point Hotel and Club Lennox. Just leave the car in the garage and spend your time on yourself.
