Lead a green lifestyle when you take this rare opportunity to purchase in the 'WestWyck' eco-village development. This highly regarded eco-village offers the best of the past and the future on the former Brunswick West Primary School site. On offer is a quality architect-designed three-level townhouse that provides its occupants with a sustainable healthy home lifestyle. This home was constructed to high standards, embracing materials efficiency, energy efficiency, and water efficiency principles. It provides flexible floor-plan options and is currently configured as a two bedroom plus study residence. Thoughtful consideration has been given to this home's design to maximise passive solar benefits. The main living areas cleverly optimise natural light. The kitchen boasts gas appliances, stainless steel work areas, cupboards with ample storage space and open shelving. On this ground floor is a spacious open-plan living/dining room area that overlooks the private front courtyard. The ground floor also features a large bathroom/laundry. The second mezzanine level comprises a bedroom with north-facing windows that allow morning light to spill through to the kitchen below, a well-proportioned study, and a second bathroom. The third level features a massive master bedroom with windows that provide great cross flow ventilation and passive cooling in summer. Insulation, double-glazed windows, hydronic heating, a gas fireplace and ceiling fan all serve to enhance this home's green credentials, minimising energy bills. Smart window placement allows for good cross-ventilation air flow. Additional green features include rainwater harvesting, grey and blackwater recycling, and a solar hot water system. Abundant storage areas are serviced by the attic, linen cupboard and a storage unit beside the mezzanine bathroom. This home is ready for the future, with wiring for home automation (C-Bus) and networking. This eco-village enjoys private and communal recreational open spaces with a barbeque area, native gardens, an orchard and a productive vegetable garden. Access to a secure bike shed is provided along with a single car space. Learn more at www.westwyck.com.
