The future is now, unique sustainable home - inner Warragul

Every now and again a truly exceptional home comes to the market and this unique four bedroom plus home in central Warragul certainly fits that bill.

Architecturally designed to have a small footprint and limited impact on the environment, the minimalist home is cleverly designed and does not skimp at all on internal space, style or comfort.

Built over three levels, the exterior is an eclectic mix of materials combining classic red brick, mini orb Colorbond and timber and is immediately appealing.

So too is the front garden, one of two outdoor living zones, which features a high timber pergola on the west side covered in an already wellestablished creeper for summer shade, creative timber fencing and bench seating, a pizza oven on a timber deck and a pebbled, no maintenance garden.

Entry is beside this garden, immediately into the lower level mudroom – with a timber bench and space for school bags, jackets and shoes, the space is highlighted by a red brick feature wall and timber cladding and concrete tread stairs lead to the focal kitchen and dining area.

High bi-fold glass doors with windows above, (all windows are double glazed), face north and allow natural light and winter warmth into this very cosy area.

Ornamental grape and Jasmine are planted on the high pergola outside for dense summer shade and the bi folds open seamlessly from the dining area to this north side deck, creating a spacious indoor-outdoor living space on this level.

Inside, soaring ceilings add to the airy feel and many ingenious design features add to the individuality of this home.

Sustainable Paperrock impervious bench tops are impressive and when teamed with black laminate cupboards and open timber shelving, the kitchen is not only practical but has amazing style.

This is further augmented by an eye-catching brass sink and tapware, positioned under a strut servery window to the rear deck for easy outdoor food service.

The butler’s pantry is a dream, with a combination of cupboards and open shelving and a unique deep sink shared with the laundry on the other side of the wall – ingenious design.

Stunning hardwood timber floors, a soaring ceiling, an integrated dishwasher, all electric induction cook top and oven and bespoke in-built seating all define this space plus there’s still abundant room for the family dining table.

Half a level up is the comfy family room, open to the kitchen/dining downstairs and the entire area can be warmed by a solid fuel heater, but primarily uses the passive solar from north facing windows and the clever design of the home.

There’s also a split system cooling system installed.

Mellow hardwood flooring, and a high timber display ledge complement the otherwise neutral palette and the entire space invites one to lounge and relax a while!

Beside this is a communal office space, stairs to the fourth level rumpus roomso special – and the eclectic main bathroom complete with a steam shower, deep bath and gorgeous finishes plus two spacious kids bedrooms with inbuilt cabinets, beds and high, loft-like bunks for sleep overs

This marvellous collection of rooms epitomises what zoned living is all about and has created a new bar in ‘must have’ space for kids!

Discreetly designed storage cupboards line the hall from the kitchen past the functional laundry on the main level to a small reading room and a spiral staircase to bedroom four.

Downstairs does not disappoint with a large studio, gym or sitting room opening to the entertaining area in the front garden, a large dual use office, gorgeous bathroom with grey tiling and chic fixtures and the generous main bedroom – a genuinely private retreat.

Additional sustainable features include a six kw solar system, heat pump hot water, all electric appliances and a rain water tank, along with passive heating and cooling through the use of thermal mass, cross ventilation, double glazing and deciduous plantings outside.
