Last Listing description (June 2017)

Rarely seen and rarely offered, Strine Environments designed homes are well known for their solar passive features and the use of natural materials and thermal mass. This wonderfully established home, built in 1994, includes double brick walls and insulated foundations, is quite different from your normal brick veneer house. This home is a delight to live in, flooded with natural light and opens out to lovely gardens and a vine covered patio to enjoy those gorgeous Canberra days. Inside the natural ventilation is controlled by opening appropriate windows, doors or louvers to bring in cool or warm air, to protect and shelter the occupants from our climatic extremes. This stunning three bedroom two level home does all this and more. From the moment you arrive at the property you can see it is a very special home, it is bright and colourful, and as you wander through the home you may notice a subtle use of a palette of Australian bush colours.
Whilst it does have great street appeal, that was low on the design list, and its clearly been angled on the large block in this quiet Cul de Sac to capture the northern aspect allowing it to extract and enjoy the natural light and heat when needed.
Multiple living areas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, separate toilet upstairs and a powder room downstairs, the home has all the features you need, including the double garage with internal access to the kitchen.

Established gardens feature precisely located deciduous trees to the north that add additional seasonal shelter to the home, along with fruit trees and vegetable beds to grow your own produce. A rainwater collection tank sits on its stand to the east providing additional water supply to the property and a rainwater tap at the kitchen sink. Extensive landscaping around the home add a wonderful aesthetic to the property. The gardens here really are a delight to spend time in and to wander through. The backyard has a Mediterranean feel with olive and citrus trees, large grapevine and a lavender hedge edging the lawn. Look for the rusty barbed wire sculpture sphere featured in the elliptic feature garden in the front yard.
There is much to see and learn about this unique home and we would love to see you at one of our open homes, who knows, you may even fall in love!
At Luton we are active supporters of energy efficient homes and passive solar design in the Canberra Region and have participated in Solar House day and Sustainable House day for many years.
