Truly unlike any other, this home with its passive solar design, offers deceptively spacious proportions from the outset. Award-winning architect Ian Sercombe, renowned for energy-efficient design and use of strawbale and low toxicity materials, has crafted Streeton House to seamlessly blend character with recycled elements, creating an inviting point of difference.
The breath-taking main living area was modelled on the chamber music room at Longacres in Olinda, Victoria, which Australian painter Arthur Streeton built for his concert violinist wife, Nora Clench. The globally successful Streeton Trio has graced this space with unforgettable performances. With its soaring 5.5 metre high ceilings purposely designed for incredible acoustics, it seats up to 100 guests.
Thoughtfully set back from the road, this home enjoys ultimate privacy within. Nestled on an expansive 1,840sqm block adjacent to crown land and national park, it presents breathtaking views across to Mount Solitary. Immerse yourself in nature, with a nearby bush track leading to Wentworth Falls in 10 minutes. The north facing central courtyard, accessible from the open plan living, dining and kitchen, features elegant granite counters and a versatile island bench.
Discover comfort in the generously proportioned bedrooms branching off the hallway. Indulge in stylish bathrooms that offer a rainwater shower or relaxing claw foot bathtub, both with underfloor heating. Noteworthy features include switchable 10,000 litre water tanks, a solar power system with a Tesla battery, and a secure double carport. Make inspection of this eco-home, which showcases dedication to a greener future, a priority.
