Modern Comforts in a Private Setting

If you have been looking for a home which offers modern convenience paired with a country setting, your search is over. This solar passive home was designed by Canberra's award winning Strine Design Architect, Ric Butt and it is sure to appeal to the most discerning buyer.

Consider the 1.18Ha (2.9 acre approx) block and that it sits on Bungendore's best street and then combine Strine's bright, light and spacious design alongside the pleasing and treed grounds - this is as good as contemporary rural living gets.

The solar passive design and a 10.8Kw solar system (41 panel) combine for year round comfort. Add to this a combination of a slow combustion fireplace, reverse cycle unit & underfloor heating (in the bathrooms) and you will find this is a very comfortable home to live in. Each room opens to another allowing no clear view straight through, rather a delight of discovery as you move through the house. Living areas to the North and service areas to the South maximise the quality of living space. This is a very well thought out house as heat gain in summer is controlled by shading , ventilation and shutters to the North, thermal mass and insulation helping maintain an ambient temperature all year round.

The architect's skills are on display in the innovative layout of this fantastic home - the entry captures light and air using a two storey void to create an atrium. an upstairs kids retreat is a wonderful use of the space created by the curved roof line with room for sofas, TVs and sleep overs. Downstairs from this is the "Billiards" room that is currently being used as a gym, workshop and storage area. Floor to ceiling glazed doors open up onto the enclosed courtyard. This area would be the ideal spot for a kids play zone, a safe dog area or the future location for an in-ground lap pool (STCA).

This is a home that offers a number of possibilities for those that also like to entertain. In summer the large North facing terrace is shaded by the soft green shrubs & rainproof pergola. It is easy to imagine drinks and dinners with guests strolling between the open plan living areas and finally settling in front of the wood burning fire during the chilly months... and the grounds and decks for the more boisterous occasions. The U-shaped kitchen will please the chef of the home with a much admired 5 burner Belling stove and plenty of bench space alongside a walk in pantry fitted to accommodate all the culinary extras you could wish for. The kitchen looks over the casual lounge and dining areas - ideal for social cooking and family living.

Gardeners will enjoy the beautiful established grounds, there are fruit trees and vegetable beds and a new 12 x 9 metre shed with a concrete floor. This block would suit those who want a pony or need plenty of room for kids and pets to run and play - the current owners have some lamb lawn mowers and there is still plenty of space for all.
