ICONIC! IT???S THE ONLY WORD THAT REALLY DOES THE PLACE JUSTICE.
GAZING OUT AT THE OCEAN FROM THE ELEVATED POSITION OF THIS TRULY UNIQUE MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HOME, IT WOULD BE EASY TO BELIEVE YOU HAD BEEN MIRACULOUSLY TRANSPORTED TO GREECE.
EVEN IF YOU HAVEN???T BEEN THERE, YOU???VE SEEN THE PICTURES ??? VAST COLLECTIONS OF SQUARE WHITE BUILDINGS USUALLY SET AGAINST SCENIC VIEWS OF CLEAR BLUE WATER.
AS YOU TURN THOUGH AND TAKE IN THE REST OF THE SURROUNDING VISTA OF BUSHLAND AND RANGES IN THE DISTANCE, THE SQUARE WHITE BRICK DESIGN MIGHT BE EUROPEAN BUT THE LOCATION IS UNMISTAKABLY AUSTRALIAN.
LIKE ITS SPECTACULAR SITE, THE THREE BEDROOM, SPLIT LEVEL HOME AT 4 EAMES COURT IS ALMOST ONE-OF-A-KIND IN THIS COUNTRY.
BUILT INTO THE SIDE OF A BINNINGUP DUNE, IT IS AN EARTH SHELTERED, PASSIVE SOLAR HOUSE. IN ONE AREA OF THE HOME, THE ROOF IS AMAZINGLY INSULATED BY 300MM OF SOIL.
ITS CLEVER DESIGN CREATES A COMFORTABLE FAMILY HOME THAT IS UNBELIEVABLY WARM IN WINTER AND COOL IN SUMMER WITH ENERGY RUNNING COSTS OF JUST $1.10 PER DAY.
THERE???S A KENT WOOD FIRE IN THE HOME???S LIVING AREA BUT IT HAS RARELY BEEN USED DURING THE HOME???S 20-YEAR LIFE.
AS WELL AS THE SCIENTIFIC DESIGN, THE COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE IS MAINTAINED BY A COMPLETE WRAP OF RIGID FOAM POLYSTYRENE INSULATION.
ABSOLUTE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE INCLUSION OF ENTRANCE LOBBIES AT THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE HOME, PROVIDING A PRACTICAL BUFFER FROM COLD WINTER WINDS WHEN HEADING OUT OR COMING IN.
THE HIGHLIGHTS DON???T STOP THERE.
IF YOU???RE A TIMBER ENTHUSIAST YOU WILL BE SPELLBOUND BY THE MAJESTIC 8M LONG JARRAH BEAMS SUPPORTING THE HOME???S RAKED CEILINGS THROUGHOUT.
IT COMBINES WITH TONGUE IN GROOVE PINE PANEL USED IN MANY AREAS OF THE CEILINGS, WALLS, KITCHEN CABINETRY AND MAIN BATHROOM.
ALL WINDOW FRAMES, DOOR FRAMES AND SKIRTS ARE FINISHED IN HEARTWARMING JARRAH AND ALL DOORS ARE PINE OR JARRAH.
BACK OUTSIDE THERE???S NUMEROUS OPTIONS FOR SOAKING UP THE FRESH SEA AIR WITH A COMPLETE SERIES OF OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING AREAS.
THERE???S A WALLED COURTYARD WITH CENTRAL WATER FOUNTAIN, A FRONT TERRACE, A REAR ALFRESCO WITH POWER AND ADJACENT POWDER ROOM, TWO BIG DECKS IN HIGH POSITIONS AND LANDSCAPED ROOF GARDENS.
AS YOU ARE PROBABLY STARTING TO ENVISAGE, SEEING REALLY IS BELIEVING WHEN IT COMES TO THIS DISTINCTIVE HOME.
ALL THREE BEDROOMS ARE WELL SIZED AND THE MASTER BEDROOM INCLUDES MIRRORED ROBES, PARENT???S RETREAT AND AN EN SUITE.
LIVING AREAS INCLUDE AN OPEN FAMILY AND DINING ROOM ADJACENT TO THE COUNTRY KITCHEN WHILE A LOFT-STYLE SPACE UPSTAIRS IS GREAT FOR ENTERTAINING, A GAMES ROOM OR SLEEP SPACE FOR GUESTS.
