Tucked away at the end of a private driveway, in a very quiet area in Lesmurdie, is this beautiful 1995 custom built Webb & Brown Neaves passive solar home, designed by eco architect Garry Baverstock. This home is being offered for sale for the very first time.

The home has beautiful natural timbers throughout and there is extensive use of feature brickwork in the main living area. All ceilings are of timber and are high in every room, and vaulted in the main living area. The architraves, skirtings, and window frames are of timber and there are solid timber doors, with leadlight inserts and windows in some areas. Coupled with the feature brickwork, the home exudes a warmth and coziness very much in keeping with the hills environment.

Entering past the double carport, along a brick paved walkway and under the wide, shady verandah, the open plan country kitchen, living and dining area of the home is some 25 sqm in size with windows and doors opening to the outside entertaining area and pool. There is a large open fireplace with log storage which has a door to the outside wood storage area, built in Tasmanian oak desk and storage cabinet with a complementary built in unit for TV and sound system. The area is overlooked by the rustic country style kitchen – slate floored with extensive cupboard, drawer and bench space, bottled gas hotplates, electric oven and microwave, appliance cupboard and generous walk in pantry.

In addition to the fireplace in the living area, there is an r/c air conditioner and a gas bayonet.

The home also comprises 3 bedrooms – all extremely substantial in size. There is a large walk in robe for the master and built in robes for the other bedrooms. There are wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioners in the master and second bedroom and the master also has a flued gas heater and an electric, external Vergola.

The bathroom is also large, slate floored, with a separate vanity area and a step down to the large bath and separate shower. There is a possibility of creating an ensuite using existing wall structures.

Adjoining the home is the sparkling below ground pool and covered entertaining area. The salt water pool is solar heated with a brand new, low noise, energy saving variable speed pump, automatic pool filler and remote control lighting. The pool area is very private and surrounded by tropical plants and palms. It is overlooked by the brick paved entertainment area which is roofed by a remote controlled electric “Vergola” system that allows you to control either full, part on no sun ingress to the area.

There are numerous fruit and nut trees, six raised garden beds, an asparagus patch and a chook house and run. However the garden is easy care and has fully automated retic.

The owner has spared no money on this beautiful property and there are quality fixtures and fittings throughout. Pure wool berber carpets on the best quality underlay, and slate in all wet areas.

A very classy and liveable hills home.
