This unique two storey family home, set amongst the tall eucalypts of Kadina Street, The Gap, presents an irresistible opportunity for the astute buyer. Nestled in the heart of The Gap’s best real estate with lush green landscaped gardens — you will truly feel your family could live and grow here for years.
Designed by local architect Robert (Bob) Gardiner, this home features exposed timber beams, refined detailing, and a carefully considered layout that displays a confident blend of Australian architecture and Japanese style.
Orientation, thermal insulation, cross-ventilation, and deep eaves are all aspects of the passive environmental principles applied to the design of this home. The colour and texture of natural materials feature strongly throughout, combined with a beautiful sense of space and light.
Situated on an enormous 721 sqm block, with dramatic views to the north west, this home has the potential to be easily expanded from four to six bedrooms, and from one to two bathrooms.
The top floor of the house, accessed from street level from a covered deck, features large open-plan living and dining areas, adjacent to a well-equipped (electric) kitchen. Down the hall are three generous bedrooms and a separate bathroom and toilet.
Downstairs is slab on ground — always cool during summer — with a laundry, ironing room, storage areas, workshop, rumpus room, and fourth bedroom/home office. The lower floor could easily be extended to add another two bedrooms or additional living space (as originally intended by the architect).
For additional peace of mind, the home is protected by a coded, movement-sensitive security system.
Outstanding features of this residence include elevated views, privacy, and the additional room this large block provides for growing families.
Your family will fall in love and treasure the peace and quiet of Kadina Street, with hardly any passing traffic and only a few neighbours. Not only will you find this a great family home, you will also enjoy the lifestyle and simplicity of living on the border of Enogerra State Forest with its abundance of birdlife.
