The Art of Modern Living

If you value low maintenance, double glazing and full insulation but hanker after the older cottage look of gable ends, timber construction, Longrun roof and a soaring sarked ceiling then this home is the right move for you!
Dorrington Atcheson Architects designed this brilliant home for the current owners with the project being completed in 2010. Their brief was for a home to cater for their young family that afforded space, privacy, sun and to make the most of the tranquil park side location. The result is this wonderful 160sqm contemporary cottage concept creating two distinct areas linked by a gallery.
One area provides a large living/dining/kitchen area with reading nook and a discreetly hidden laundry and powder room. Surrounded by large opening doors this area opens seamlessly onto decks and paved areas with a northerly and westerly aspect surrounded by low maintenance landscaped gardens, there is always a sheltered private spot to relax in. A gate into Melrose Reserve is a bonus, why not make use of this space that you do not have to maintain and let the children enjoy the playground!
The second area on the higher side of the property contains three bedrooms, family bathroom and ensuite. Being on the higher side there is a room below with plenty of storage/rumpus plus an office area.
Reclaim your time spent maintaining an older home spend that extra time with your family exploring the beautiful Devonport beaches and the village that is close by. Or use this home as a lock up and leave......leaving on a jet plane ......and returning to this peaceful slice of Devonport.
