Portarlington 29a Welfare Street

Here is a house that has been designed and built with a passion for luxury, yet always keeping one eye on eco friendly principles and practicality. Capturing winter sun and fitted with double glazing, along with utilising cross ventilation for cooling, it makes full use of its ideal orientation. The outlook from both levels is stunning, yet at the same time calming, embracing rural, ocean and mountain views.

Projected hardwood window frames and iconic fixed feature awnings adorn a ruggedly handsome exterior featuring double-skin facade which not only provides an architectural edge but provides insulating properties channelling air streams between wall and roof layers.

Extremely efficient Nobo panel heating augments optimal passive solar orientation, supplying supreme comfort in colder seasons Owners or guests are guaranteed warm welcome, controlling access to the heating system via a phone app allows remote operation of timer, thermostat and power. Perfect for use as the pinnacle of Airbnb accommodation, secure keyless entry PINs can also be changed remotely.

Downstairs, deliberate separation of all 3 spacious bedrooms by other rooms provides premium privacy. Pure indulgence pampers in the master suite with sliding glass door to a sundeck, suave version of walk-through robe and Euro-style wet-room. A similarly sophisticated main bathroom awaits to spoil other residents. Polished concrete floors, along with an idyllic outdoor shower alongside the laundry, are perfect for standing up to generations of sandy feet returning from the foreshore, less than a kilometre away.

Upstairs, vast open living upon Tasmanian oak floors is saturated with daylight due to a quadruple aspect rarely seen elsewhere. Glass doors lead to a balcony and frame water, mountain and city views that dominate the skyline.

Spectacular use of black stone benches and matching Blum soft-close kitchen cabinetry creates a dramatic focal point. Bosch appliances include semi-integrated dishwasher, shared-zone induction cooktop and incredible self-cleaning oven. Effectively sealing off the lounge by closure of a massive timber sliding panel permits segregation between zones, otherwise seamlessly all-encompassing.

Lighting options have been meticulously selected using Unios designs, including onyx spotlights, paragon wall lights and titanium pendants. As the sun goes down the raft of luminaries are there to create your mood
