A testament to thoughtful design and sustainable living, it is in equal measure perfect for functional family living and a calm space with the sensitive design reflecting its coastal environment. With recycled timbers and hardwood floors throughout the property provides four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two spacious open plan living areas, with raked ceilings and light filled clerestory windows. Each room looks out to the North-facing deck and heated pool, which captures the sun and is a relaxing haven. All bedrooms have beautiful, recycled feature timber wall linings. There is extensive use of ply lining on the walls and ceiling which adds to the cozy feel in the living room. Barestone wall lining has been installed, making the house not only family friendly but these features are also extremely low maintenance. The three bathrooms ensure all bedrooms are well serviced. All feature carefully honed and sealed recycled timber vanities. The family bathroom has a bath, separate toilet and large walk-in shower with treetop views. The ensuite has walk in shower and separate toilet. Another shower room with adjacent separate toilet ensures more than adequate facilities.

The well-appointed kitchen provides a dishwasher, 900mm gas/electric cooker and stone bench tops. A central feature in the home is the glass splashback which displays an image of the original Sorrento Baths jetty. A feature window above the kitchen captures the top of the Moonah trees at the rear of the property. Expansive glass stacker doors ensure effortless flow from the inside to the outside area which has been built using recycled beams and columns from a Gippsland bridge, which gives a wonderful natural feel to the area. It’s an ideal place for family gatherings and relaxing. The garden has been professionally landscaped to reflect the coastal environment with the native Moonah trees retained and incorporated into the landscape design. All family interests have been considered, from the heated pool to the sandpit for the younger kids, to the herb garden, fire-pit and seating area, through the fantastic alfresco area.
