*Slow-combustion heater in the lounge enhances winter comfort
*Wired-in smoke alarms
*Ember Guard gutter protection
*Full underfloor insulation.
*Bedroom 3 has an ensuite with select timing, underfloor heating..
*26,000-litre water tank supports both the home and easy-care pebbled gardens.
*Renovation enlarged the third bedroom with a luxurious ensuite with underfloor heating.
*A versatile fourth bedroom or hobby room was also created.
*Laundry with elevated washer and dryer stands, plus a heated/airing linen cupboard.
*Third shower and toilet—for after gardening or enjoying the courtyard
*Window tinting on the sunny sides of house and garage windows for privacy.
Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming, with solid timber and timber laminate flooring flowing through the kitchen, dining, lounge, and hallway.
The kitchen is designed for both style and efficiency, offering a large pantry, electric cooktop and oven, and plenty of spacious drawers to store electrical items, crockery, and glasses.
Four bedrooms provide flexible accommodation—three carpeted with built-in robes, one with a vinyl floor. Three bathrooms service the home, two with non-slip, easy-clean flooring (including one with two-way access), plus a third conveniently located near the garage and workshop to avoid the invasion of sand from Lake Sambell.
Outdoors, sustainable living continues with a paved and covered entertaining area, raised garden beds, pebbled garden and a fernery. The exposed aggregate driveway leads to a double garage, which has been enlarged and enclosed to provide a workshop, the third bathroom and secure storage.
Within walking distance of Beechworth Kindergarten, the Montessori, State and St. Francis Primary Schools and with the adult exercise area and children playgrounds at Lake Sambell and the Chinese Gardens, across Albert Road, the home is surrounded by activity areas including the Rail Trail.
