Mount Lofty gem

Home offers sustainabl­e modern living.

-

THIS contempora­ry two-level home has been finished with colours and textures that make it appear like its part of the landscape.

Beautifull­y crafted to make the most of the amazing escarpment views and northern light, it is the creation of one of Toowoomba’s upcoming, award winning builders, Janke Constructi­ons and was awarded the Excellence in Sustainabl­e Living Award by Downs & Western Region Master Builders in 2016.

Designed to a high standard of sustainabi­lity through the inclusion of a five-kilowatt solar power system to reduce the reliance on the grid, a 52,000L undergroun­d rainwater tank, Vergola roofing system which controls the sunlight into the lower levels year round as well as maximising ventilatio­n, constructi­on methods for significan­t thermal advantage and energy efficient glazing to all the windows was what impressed the judges.

But it will be the range views and the relaxed lifestyle that the home brings that buyers will love.

The internal layout offers intimate and enclosed spaces, which contrast with the generous open-plan living space on the ground floor with its seamless connection to the outdoor spaces and pool.

The living areas include a generous family room with defined lounge and dining zones; the lounge area features a natural gas fireplace which boasts a stone surround.

The property features ducted and zoned air-conditioni­ng.

The gorgeous kitchen features timber and ceramic accents which add warmth to the well organised kitchen and scullery; the kitchen features Miele appliances including two ovens, a microwave, coffee machine, five-burner gas cooktop and dishwasher.

Hard-wearing porcelain tiles have been installed on the lower level, while Blackbutt timber floors are a feature of the master bedroom and second level.

The lower level features a fabulous home theatre with a projector, screen, surround sound, reverse-cycle air-conditioni­ng and automatic roller blinds; there is also a large home office off the entry way with built-in desks, cupboards and filing cabinets.

The property has a large protected north-facing deck with defined areas for dining and lounging; the deck features an outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue and wine fridge.

The deck overlooks an automated heated saltwater pool with thermal blanket.

There is a second outdoor space off the living room, which is perfect for a children’s play room.

The upper level is set up for bedroom wings, which include a luxurious master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with a double vanity, twin showers and bath with the best views.

There are three additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, which are separated from the master suite by the third living area.

These bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom, which features a separate bath, shower and large vanity; there is a powder room adjacent.

There is so much to appreciate in this home from the buildings architectu­ral lines and the homes many thoughtful inclusions, the large 1300sq m landscaped yard and those amazing views, but together they make a home that exudes comfort and style, and will be a gorgeous backdrop for your busy life.
