For private sale until mid January. Properties like this do not come on the market often, so grab this opportunity now.

The house is situated 10 min walk to CBD in a beautiful, quiet setting. One third of the 930 m2 gully section is covered with mature native trees and shrubs. Although you are living in the middle of the city, you will feel like you are at a batch.

Have you ever wanted to live in a warm, comfortable house that has very low energy bills? Now here is your rare opportunity. This house was designed by the architect/owner, and built in February 2012.

It is full of sustainable features:
• 300 litre evacuated tube solar hotwater system
• 3 kW solar panels to generate electricity
• whole-house mechanical heat-recovery ventilation system
• High efficiency Warmington studio woodburner
• Fully insulated (well above building code requirement)
• Thermally-broken double-glazing with Argon gas filled windows and doors
• Airtight construction to prevent drafts and air infiltration
• LED, fluorescent and low energy lighting

With all these features combined, you have a house that is very easy to heat in winter and stays cool in summer whilst saving you lots on your power bills each year. The current occupants (a professional couple) have paid $20 for power since the start of this year. The occupants also spent $90 on gas (for cooking) and $200 on firewood in 2014.

The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 separate toilets, 1 bathroom and an office nook with open plan living, dining and kitchen. The house also features a large deck (over 40 m2) off the kitchen that is secluded and surrounded by native bush. The house is 135 m2 and comes with an additional storage space of 10 m2 underneath the raised dining area, and 20 m2 in the loft above the master bedroom.

This house must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
