This striking 8-star energy rating, three-bedroom property merges minimalism with passive house principles, resulting in a bold design for future living. This innovative approach emphasises simplicity, functionality, and sustainability, where comfort and style coexist harmoniously, resulting in a new standard for contemporary homes. 

This forward-thinking all-electric home features a Stiebel Eltron heat recovery ventilation system, non-toxic and renewable materials built to German Passiv Haus standards, a 5.2kw solar system, custom made high performance tilt and turn double-glazed windows and double-glazed doors, as well as an adjustable air quality sensor to maintain all year round comfort. Built-in custom joinery is a feature of the home; with soft-close drawers and cupboards and floating engineered stone top vanities in the bathroom and ensuite.

The floorplan features a generous north-facing open-plan kitchen with dining and living. The kitchen has all Bosch appliances; an induction cooktop inset into the stone top waterfall edge island bench, an under-mount pyrolytic oven and a dishwasher, along with soft close drawers and a pantry with pull-out drawers. Defining the open space between the dining and living is a striking built-in display shelf, a nod to retro minimalism. The living space has a split system, a window seat with integrated storage and built-in cupboards. The open-plan space has access to a 14.7m x 2.8m entertaining deck overlooking the surrounding landscape. The deck provides bench seating with integrated storage and a storage cupboard.

The main bedroom has a bespoke built-in robe and a generous ensuite with an open walk-in shower, a toilet and a floating vanity with an above-the-counter basin and storage. A second bedroom has built-in robes and a desk. The third bedroom has a window seat with integrated storage, built-in robes and external access to the north-facing deck. The bedroom also has concealed plumbing that allows for the potential installation of a kitchenette, transforming this room into an ideal space for independent living, a guest suite, or an Airbnb rental. A central bathroom has a shower over a bath, a toilet and a wall-mount vanity with an above-the-counter basin and storage. The laundry has a shower and a toilet, ideal for guests occupying the third bedroom. Interior design details include high-performance tilt-and-turn windows with hardwood frames, engineered oak hardwood flooring, bespoke joinery, Luxaflex block-out blinds in the bedrooms and illuminated light switches. 

The 670sqm (approx) has dual street frontage with off-street parking. Entry from Miller Rise leads to a 6m x 3m carport with access to the house and a 1.8m x 3.4m storeroom with power and a water tank. The beautifully maintained landscaped garden features an east-facing side garden of Silver Birches and a mixture of pretty ornamental planting. An orchard facing north has fruit trees such as quince, fig, plum, pear and three heritage apple varieties. 

This home is the new way forward in design and future living.
