If ever there was a labour of love, this home is a true example of what that means. Built by the owner, this home took 8 years to complete, culminating in a true masterpiece, a work of art! A house like no other and one you will never see again! It is truly the most amazing house built!
Sprawling over 2 acres of land in a quiet section of Howard Springs you will find 24 Whistler Court. All the materials used in the building are sourced from nature with the extensive use of beautiful pieces of African Mahogany, Stringbark, Jarrah and Tasmanian oaks, which are complimented by mud brick walls and Indian slate floor as well as cork flooring to create a magnificent home.
The home is shaped as a pentacon and features 5 double set of African Mahogany French doors which open out on the verandah. Stringybark posts and hardwood beam structure also feature in the large pentagon living spaces which encompasses the lounge and dining areas. The post and beams are held together with high tensile chain and the handmade tighteners were made from the old Batchelor railway track.
A wrought iron railed staircase leads up to the wood encased atrium which features genuine parquetry floor boards made of Tasmanian silky oak and black wood. This peaceful atrium could easily be used as an artists’ studio or as additional lodgings and gives a 360 degree views of the natural treescape surrounds. Around the staircase is a fish pond with a fountain thus creating a lovely ambience to the home.
The 3 large bedrooms all have huge windows with lovely views out onto the native gardens. The master bedroom has an ensuite which leads out onto the verandah.
The kitchen is large and features Jarrah benchtops, cork flooring and a large walk-in pantry
Due to the design and materials used in the building, this home is 4 degrees cooler than the outside, so the use of air-conditioning is not needed to stay comfortable all year round.
