From the moment you step through the front door, it is evident this Buderim duplex was designed by a master of his trade. Peter Collyns from Majestic Developments has been building award-winning homes for 27 years, including the 2012 HIA Queensland Award for his previous Duplex. This home is also destined for greatness and, with Council's recent decision to limit duplex building on Buderim, an opportunity like this may not come around again.
The overwhelming feel as you enter this 223sqm home is of openness and air flow. Rather than trap hot air, the high ceilings in the living area have been fitted with louvers, which allows heat to exit and breezes to flow right through the home. Top it off with a unique garden atrium right in the middle of the living area and you can see why the fully ducted air-conditioning may prove the least important feature.
No detail has been spared in the open plan kitchen with a gas stove top, electric oven and beautiful neutrally-coloured stone bench tops. Modern strip lights illuminate the bench well and direct access from the garage to the kitchen takes the hassle out of decanting groceries.
This home boasts three carpeted bedrooms. Each has been designed for flexibility with category 6 wiring, phone cables and TV points making it easy to set up office and media spaces. The main bedroom boasts a huge walk-in robe and ensuite with his and hers basins, a large screen-less shower and easy-care tiles. It opens onto a covered, walled patio, which is also accessible from the living area.
High ceilings continue in the second bedroom, which adjoins the main bathroom, complete with a bath overlooking the delightful atrium, giving the sensation of bathing in a rainforest. A separate toilet and storage option in the hallway offers flexibility, while the airy laundry area opens directly onto the garden. A third bedroom, office or media room sits at the front of the house with easy access to the front door and kitchen. Add to this a two-car garage with two-pac flooring and automatic doors, and you can see why all the features of a larger home have been cleverly incorporated.
Situated in a sought-after area of Buderim, the landscaped gardens are attractive, and partially enclosed, making it safe for a pet, while a large outdoor parking area is suitable for a caravan or small motorhome.
With easy care, innovative features and a gentle, flat walk to the delightful town of Buderim, this home ticks all the boxes for hassle-free retirement living.
