This wonderful contemporary four bedroom property takes advantage of its moderate elevation in one of Bushland Beachs dress circle areas, with sea views that also provide vistas to Halifax Bay, Magnetic Island and the Palm Islands. On a clear day, Hinchinbrook Island can also be glimpsed to the north.

With an open-plan design for living areas that flow onto a large deck and seamless access to all other rooms of the house, the modern layout is ideal as a couples entertainer or family home. There is ample back yard lawn and garden space and the property enjoys all the advantages of a corner block location. The flexibility of its design allows multiple options for use of the existing open plan areas and bedrooms. For example, the current owners employ the double-doored fourth bedroom/office area as a television/media room. The home is fully air conditioned with fans in all rooms of the house and modern lighting throughout to suit its various spaces.

The yard is fully-fenced with three access gateways to the front of the property and low-maintenance gardens that are home to multiple fruit trees (including fruiting avocado, mango and mandarin trees). Shutehaven Circuit is a quiet street with quality homes.

The home was created by an architectural drafting firm and custom designed to suit its 884 square metre land parcel. With a northerly aspect and cleverly positioned doorways and windows combined with raked ceilings in the main living area, cooling breezes dominate from either northerly or prevailing south-easterly directions.

This dual-materials dwelling was completed in 2008 by multi-award winning local building firm Kassulke Constructions and personally overseen from start to handover by Mark Kassulke. It combines a concrete slabbed block garage and storage area on ground level with an attached raised construction/Hardyboard home on solid steel stumping with an under roof area in excess of 260 square meters. The construction has taken advantage of a slightly sloping block for both the views and to offer ample access underneath.

Flooring is a combination of New England Blackbutt wood floors in the living areas flowing into carpeted bedrooms and quality tiled wet areas. Plumbing, cabinetry and other fittings throughout are good quality. Internal walls (other than the garage) are plasterboard with a modern colour scheme. Windows are a combination of sliding tinted aluminium-framed glass and louvres and are fully screened.

Kitchen
The kitchen of 26 Shutehaven Circuit is one of its highlights.

With a five-metre island bench, deep dual sinks and Australian granite tops, this centrally located area provides not only a huge practical cooking and preparation zone, but an outlook to the propertys views and deck. The island bench also provides a handy 300mm overhang along the entire length of its outer side, making an ideal casual meal space for all.

With ample storage area offered by traditional cupboard space and oversized soft-closing drawers, this kitchen also has a large double-doored pantry, rubbish/utility void near the sink and room for a double-door refrigerator.
Appliances include a dual-fuel 900mm cooker, dishwasher and integrated Aquaport water filtration system with a dedicated sink-positioned tap adjacent to a swing tap with single-handled faucet and much more!

Bathrooms
Large bathrooms are a feature of this home.

The ensuite has two sinks on off-floor cabinetry with makeup lighting above its large mirror, a large his and hers double overhead shower rose shower space, moderate sized bathtub and toilet. This wet area also has privacy-glassed sliding windows on two walls for excellent ventilation.

The second bathroom at the opposite end of the house has large off-floor cabinetry, makeup lighting above its mirror and shower cubicle. There is also a separate toilet next to this bathroom.

Vehicle accommodation and storage
A good sized double garage on the front of the house with remote electric door provides double vehicle lockup accommodation and internal access to the house. With a further 8.5 metre under-house slab, second driveway and double gates on the western corner of the property, there are plenty of vehicle, boat and equipment storage options.

An open storage/workshop hutch area (with power points) internally adjoins the main double garage, providing ample space for equipment, a workbench or general storage if required.

Good-sized built-in wardrobes with themed dooring can be found in bedrooms 2 and 3, with a five square metre walk-in robe off the master bedroom. A large, themed double sliding door linen cupboard is built into the main section of the house near the garage entrance, along with a single-doored utility closet in the laundry.

Ample space is available underneath the house for storage of bulky items or alternatively, could provide for future building expansion if required.

Energy efficiency
With white colouring to the roofing and exterior of the dwelling, 26 Shutehaven Circuit uses its sea breeze capture, heat-reflective colouring, tinted window fittings and Australian Standard insulation in construction to valuable natural cooling advantage.

A three kilowatt photovoltaic solar panel installation also delivers excellent electricity efficiencies for the property.

An energy-efficient 315 litre Rheem heat pump hot water system delivers hot water service to the home, while
Air conditioning is delivered via Fujitsu inverter split system air conditioning (1 X 30,000btu, 1 X 12,000btu, 3X 9,000btu) with bedrooms separately air conditioned and living areas easily cordoned for efficient cooling in occupied rooms as needed.
