This cool, energy-efficient, family plus-sized home is screened and shaded by a stunning rain forest garden in the heart of Ludmilla yet is only minutes away from schools, shops and the coastal attractions of East Point and Fannie Bay.

On a large corner block, this elevated, tropical home features beautiful polished pine flooring and floor-to-ceiling louvres throughout the open-plan living/dining area and four upstairs bedrooms. Extensive architect -designed renovations include an Alby Turner & Sons – designed kitchen with gas cooktop, granite bench tops and generous cupboard space. The large tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower and built-in vanity features louvred Western Red Cedar cupboards. All bedrooms include built-in robes and have tranquil views into the fully-reticulated rain forest garden.

Two generously proportioned slate-tiled verandahs also overlook the garden which features a large fish pond with waterlilies, meandering pathways and a paved circular entertainment area served by a bar with hatch from the downstairs kitchen.

The self-contained, tiled one-bedroom unit with kitchen, bathroom, toilet, study and large living/dining area is ideal for accommodating visitors, older family members or tenants downstairs. Also at ground level is the semi-enclosed tiled laundry with additional overhead cupboards and a large lock-up storeroom/workshop.

The property is fully fenced with an electric gate and concrete driveway which leads to double undercover parking. A solar hot water heater adds to the energy efficiency of this home.
