Darling eco-friendly Rivett home listed with price hopes of about $1.1m

Situated on a battle-axe block on a quiet loop street in Rivett is this surprising three-bedroom home.

It’s clear the suburb is undergoing gentrification, but this home seems like a particularly special brand-new build – or practically brand new, given 2019 seems as though it were yesterday.

Making the most of every square inch of a compact parcel of land, the award-winning architects at Light House Architecture & Science have flexed their skills with an impressive design.

Take the mezzanine lofts in the bedrooms, for example – they provide extra light and space for storage, sleepovers or just chilling out.

Or the gallery-style hall, which offers space for additional storage or an opportunity for a light-filled library or office space.

And the ply-clad, cathedral-style raked ceiling is a stunning feature in the eat-in kitchen and open-plan living area.

Enveloping the home are beautifully landscaped gardens that create lush, green and tranquil vistas from the house.

Large, double-glazed tilt-and-turn windows and doors allow access to the barbecue deck, the private Japanese-inspired courtyard with fish pond, and the secret garden hideaway off the main bedroom.

Beneath the visible features, this striking home is incredibly innovative, using high building standards and materials to create a light-footed, climate-resilient home.

Its holistic water and energy-efficient design will allow a little more peace of mind in the future for its new owner.

An unassumingly convenient suburb, Rivett is less than 15 minutes from the city. It’s perfect for families, with schools, day cares, parks, ovals and playgrounds all within walking distance.

61B Wollum Crescent has a price guide of $1.1 million-plus and will go to auction at 6pm on March 28.
