Stepping over the threshold into this ecologically sustainable, architecturally designed modern home is a sensory delight with Japan-black hardwood floors, Moroccan brass cutwork light fixtures and light-filled living spaces. Views of the lush surrounding garden are visible from all windows, accompanied by the soothing sounds of a garden fountain and glimpses of the lap pool.
 
Generously proportioned open-plan living areas feature French doors which open onto a private walled garden. A cosy gas fireplace warms both the lounge and the dining room which seats up to 10 people, both perfect settings for entertaining family and friends.

A large kitchen with a separate walk-in pantry showcases a three-metre Caesar Stone island bench, topped by stylish copper pendant lights. High quality, soft-closing custom cabinetry includes plenty of large drawers, offering ample storage space and the premium Bosch appliances with induction cooktop and pyrolitc self-cleaning oven will please any home chef. 

The family room, styled in the form of an atrium filled with plants, is a cosy sunroom in winter and a cool alfresco area in the warmer months with French doors opening on to the private in-ground, saltwater pool flanked by a wall of fragrant, espaliered jasmine. 

The main building presents three bedrooms, one of which contains a study area and three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite. The French doors in the master bedroom open out onto a Juliet balcony with views of mature trees, landscaped gardens and rolling fairways of the nearby golf course. The resort styled ensuite is a stylish oasis showcasing a freestanding oval bath and a tiled feature wall. The spacious custom walk-in-robe features a swoon-worthy shoe cupboard. 

At the rear of the main building, a compact herb and vegetable garden leads to a shuttered patio area, a perfect retreat for outdoor dining and entertaining.  Adjacent to the patio is the laundry with an abundance of storage space in custom-built cabinetry. 

Adjacent to the herb garden is a fully self-contained studio apartment consisting of living area, kitchen, separate bathroom and bedroom with a walk-in-robe. The high-quality fixtures and fittings found in the main house have been continued into the apartment which is a perfect retreat for house guests, a tenant or a teenager.

This sustainable home was built to tread lightly upon the earth and includes numerous features designed to save energy and conserve water. It features a six-star energy rating, two 1500 litre rainwater tanks, a 3.3 KW solar energy system with a 5KW inverter, borehole reticulation and a grey water system. All the bedrooms and living areas have ceiling fans to minimise the use of the ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning. Discerning buyers seeking both eco-friendly benefits and stylish living will be enchanted by this thoughtfully-designed and beautiful home.
