Architecturally designed for a professional couple 11 years ago, the brief was to remove the barriers to outdoors and let the outside in. With barely a curtain or blind in sight this fresh airy and light filled two storey home just off The Parade, has cleverly achieved privacy, energy efficiency and practical design delight. A wowing entrance statement of modern day stained glass was commissioned to reflect the home’s ability to work the light and impressively stretches the height of both levels.
With two separate glass walled offices at the front of this modern residence, the option to work from home is easy and creatively inspiring. An adjacent sitting room with French door outside access could provide a separate business entry if desired or simply poses a quiet room with courtyard access. Alternatively, the two offices could be utilized as single bedrooms or hobby rooms.
The circular kitchen, full of drawers and cupboards for ample storage, overlooks the dining and family room of Tasmanian Oak floors. An uninterrupted view through a wall of glass and French doors is to the paved entertainment area that flows onto the beauty filled native garden. An attraction for Rainbow Lorikeets and other bird species, this privacy protector of Australia’s finest flora is well established and easily maintained with automatic watering devices leaving the weekends free for you.
An additional outdoor area especially with cooler months in mind is the Glory Vine covered side courtyard, again with French door access and wall length windows for indoor indulgence where winter warmth filters through once the colour of autumn leaves.
“Every part of this home has been carefully utilized to ensure privacy and peacefulness, with particularly outdoor inclusion,” says selling agent Peter O’Neil of Brock Harcourts Colonel Light Gardens. “The clean uncluttered living blends with the high ceilings on both levels and the natural light adds energy”, added Mr O’Neil.
Ascend the staircase (doubling as an under-stair cellar) to the second level that boasts two equally generous living quarters, both with walls of robes and two bathrooms for personal privacy and convenience. A private balcony and view over the spectacular stained glass adds a special touch to the master bedroom.
A wide double garage, additional secure off street parking and video entrance security system ensures enduring peace of mind in this highly positioned street. The ideal location just off Norwood Parade and less than ten minutes walk to the parklands highlights the priceless lifestyle advantages this perfect position provides with modern day magic light and design.
