Stylish energy-efficient home in over-50s gated community

If you are looking to move into an over50s community but don’t want the hassle of building, here is a home built to the highest standards of energy efficiency.

The eye-catching frontage of this home incorporates four different finishes to create a sleek and stylish façade, but the home is built from structural insulated panels (SIPs) in keeping with the energyefficient principles of Freedom Place.

The home has a modern and spacious vibe offering style and comfort while including multiple conveniences that mean the house needs minimal energy input to maintain a comfortable temperature all year.

Bamboo flooring, woollen carpets, LED lights, DC ceiling fans, thermal break, double-glazed windows with low emissivity glass and solar passive design all combine to make the house comfortable and keep the energy bills down.

The kitchen/meals/living area feels roomy and welcoming and the kitchen features stone benchtops, soft-close doors and drawers, induction cooktop and stainless-steel appliances.

The pantry and other walk-in storage areas have sensor-operated LED lighting. The extra-large master bedroom has a private north-facing sun-deck, generous walk-in robe and ensuite with double spa bath

A formal lounge at the front of the house leads through to the second bedroom, with built in robe, and bathroom with separate toilet.

The two-car garage is complemented by caravan storage space to the side of the house with 15A power and dump point, so the caravan can be used on site for extra visitors plus there’s a shed for the handyman and a fully fenced rear yard.

Freedom Place is a gated community just a few minutes’ walk from Riverside Plaza.

More than half of the estate has already been sold and the building of state-of-theart community facilities including pool, spa, gym, bowling green, dance floor, and craft room are well under way.
