5 Jarrah Street, O'connor ACT 2602
Solar passive concrete masterpiece
Situated in a tree lined street, secluded behind a mature hedge offering wonderful privacy is this unique property.
Designed and constructed in 2007 by Strine Environments built almost exclusively from concrete. The external walls are precast concrete with a layer of polystyrene sandwiched in between offering an exceptional level of insulation. Internally the polished walls and burnished and sealed concrete floors create a thermal mass almost eliminating any need for heating. Large glass sliding doors to both sides of the living area, the library and master bedroom, all with crimesafe, allow for wonderful cross ventilation during the warmer months with the added efficiency of the solar chimneys and ceiling fans.
The home offers a large north facing open living and dining space overlooked by a well designed kitchen with large stone island bench and Bosch appliances. The second living space, currently used as a library, could easily be converted into a spacious family/kids area.
Two secondary bedrooms both with built-in robes are of good size, with the main bathroom and separate wc located between them. The master bedroom is spacious and overlooks the courtyard and rear garden, with walk-in robe and ensuite with large bath and separate double shower. Leading from here is a large “garden/sun” room offering a multitude of uses with access to the rear yard.
Two separate outdoor entertaining areas, one with a stunning Wisteria covered steel pergola, offering cool shade in summer and allowing the winter sun in when you need it.
All located with in walking distance to the local Lyneham shops and schools, the light rail, and only moments to the CBD.
