Style and Space with Family Wise Function
When our vendors commissioned Zen architects, their brief was for a home with strong design and sustainable credentials which would stand the test of time and adapt to children growing up. Through a collaboration with Truewood Constructions and with the exceptional talents of Damon Fuhrer looking after the landscaping...it's easy to say that brief was certainly achieved!
Taking full advantage of the generous 368m2 allotment (approx) spectacular indoor and outdoor dimensions, bespoke finishes and intelligent zoning deliver a sophisticated environment for every aspect of modern family living.
Tucked behind a series of external vertical louvres of Yellow Stringybark and beneath high ceilings, a blend of timber and polished concrete floors define a series of superb free-flowing living, dining and entertainment spaces. Anchored by a Miele and Smeg equipped kitchen, finished with a clever breakfast/preparation bench, it is strategically positioned so the chef can be a part of just about any event.
Sliding doors provide a seamless link to a sunny entertainer's deck in a Japanese inspired garden oasis that belies its location so close to the heart of the CBD. Delivering a slice of indulgent luxury is a Japanese bathhouse. Indoors and sheltered from the elements for year-round use, it has an outlook to the garden and provides the ideal spot to destress at the end of the day.
Complementing a ground floor bedroom (easily repurposed as a home office if desired) are three first floor bedrooms. The main includes an ensuite, walk-in robe and access to a large private balcony offering an unimpeded outlook to the city skyline. Superb by day, it is stunning by night! The remaining two bedrooms are served by a deluxe bathroom and open to their own balcony. They are distanced from the main bedroom by a fitted study. Bathed in natural light, it's an inspired space for those committed to working from home.
A winner of an MBAV house of the year award for energy efficiency passive solar, hydronic floor heating, airflow through cross ventilation, solar panels, 2x5000-litre water tanks and grey water system for the toilets goes a long way to ensuring self-sustainability practices.
A short walk to Edinburgh gardens, the tram on St Georges Road, Rushall Station, Fitzroy High school and North Fitzroy Village, lock-up parking from the rear laneway and two sheds (one powered) are a fabulous city fringe bonus. For those seeking unique spaces with abundant advantages...this is the home for you!
