Spacious Timber-Style Home With Many Options Moments From The CBD...
This is the first time the home has been on the market since the vendors lovingly built it in 1985. After 36 years of family enjoyment this expansive residence is ready for new owners.
The exterior of naturally-silvered forest oak timber offers just a hint of the extensive woodwork inside, all from sustainably-harvested local native timbers revealed after opening the bespoke door of solid, rough-milled silky oak. Large turpentine tree trunks have been incorporated into the interior of the home, acting as both a structural necessity and a wonderful feature. From walls lined with native hoop pine, slate tiles to hardwood to cork flooring, and ceilings featuring natural-straw insulation - the use of natural materials is a running theme throughout the property.
The floorplan offers internal living over two distinct levels. The lower-level hosts two large bedrooms (one with feature displays of coachwood, blackwood, forest oak and prickly ash), an open plan living/dining area with free-standing fireplace, a timber kitchen with coachwood and blue gum benchtops; a rumpus room ideal for a fourth bedroom or large study; and a light-filled studio that had been used for pottery and painting but could easily double as a workshop.
The use of timber and glass continues onto the upper level. The enormous master bedroom provides you with a beautiful panorama upon waking and the space is complimented by a large walk-in dressing room and slate-tiled ensuite.
Are you looking for a property that offers the potential to work from home? The large office space on the upper level with separate access is ideal. With vaulted ceilings, natural light, a balcony and ample storage, this home office is the perfect spot to be productive/creative and the separate entry helps to keep your work and home life separate. This space would also make a great fifth bedroom.
The natural theme continues onto the outdoors with a green oasis of wonderful native species at the front of the house, meandering pathways and a large deck at the rear of the home with spa. The deck needs some remedial work but will be a great entertaining space once done. The carport blends seamlessly with the garden which, combined with the front verandah, creates a large, private multi-function outdoor area.
As well as being built from sustainably-harvested local native timbers, eco-friendly features of the house that will keep your energy costs down include: a roof-top solar hot water system; large arrays of roof-top PV Solar Power panels that will keep your electricity bills lower, offsetting air-conditioning on warm summer days and feeding surplus power back into the grid; a large deciduous tree shading the deck and back of the house in summer and shedding its leaves in winter to allow warming sunlight on the deck and into the living and dining areas of the house during winter.
This home is superbly located just minutes to Coffs Harbour's city centre, surrounded by quality schools and with easy access to Coffs Harbour Base Hospital, Coffs Harbour airport, shops, cafes, restaurants and pristine beaches. The home also faces the open spaces of a sizeable tree-lined grassy park. The perfect lifestyle awaits the decisive purchaser.
Do not delay in booking your private inspection as this property must be seen to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer. All reasonable offers considered.
