This intriguing place to live is one of two duplex homes that were designed and built especially for their hillside settings and to take advantage of treetops views. 
Perched a little higher than its neighbour, the unique tri-level design wastes no space and maximises the views and natural light. It is retreat-style living every day! 

Construction is brick-veneer with an insulated tiled roof - lucky #7 was built in 1987 and the 580sqm Torrens Title allotment provides a garden environment in both front and back yards. A gravel drive provides off-street parking and a stepped walkway up through the gardens welcome you to your sanctuary in the hills. 

A huge wrap-around deck that takes in an easterly aspect is delightfully private and is the perfect size for outdoor living - display your favourite pots, create a spot for the barbeque, there is plenty of room a table setting and a few outdoor lounges. Have fun entertaining or simply being at home on the weekends where it feels like an extension to the main living area. 

Inside, exposed structural beams and lofty raked ceilings create a real sense of space across the levels, while big windows everywhere and clerestory windows up high bring in the great outdoors and loads of natural light. 
- There are two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The original main bedroom on the middle-level with its large ensuite bathroom and built-in storage is very private, and on the entry floor the second bedroom is complemented by the adjacent main bathroom. 
- The mezzanine loft with its built-in library and private deck is a great space and versatile too! It is a second main living area as a lounge-retreat, it would be the coolest home-office or hobby room; while for the owner, it has become the studio-style main bedroom. 
- The main living area is a fabulous size. Imagine cosying-in around the wood-fired combustion heater, which warms the entire home, and watch the mist roll in amongst the treetops. 
- A painted masonry wall is a solid textural feature and doesn't the steel and timber balustrade look amazing! Real Tasmanian Oak flooring goes hand-in-hand with the relaxed, modern and contemporary appeal. 
- With a peaceful vibe all-of-its-own, the kitchen-dining is a feature in itself - you just want to be in here! It is separate when you need it to be and combines in a beautiful way with the backyard barbeque pergola and main living area. 
It is extra spacious with plenty of room for a long country-style table setting, and practical with custom-fit cabinetry that provides excellent storage while timber benchtops have been beautifully crafted. 
From the cooking area a bar extends where you can seat a few stools and look down to the main living area, and from the wet-area a corner window is a picture of greenery! Natural slate tiles are art in themselves and timber panelled walls with feature tiling make this kitchen fit for a magazine shoot. 

An enclosed paved pergola spans the width of the home at the back and is the entry point to a little nature walk up to the back of the land where there is a garden shed and native gardens. 

At this very affordable price-range, imagine finding a block of land a re-creating this today. A secluded treetop home where you feel far from it all - It is where that Country feeling meets City convenience!
