North Star
Located in Canberra’s most Northern suburb, this brick veneer house built in 2014 is a modern classic. The property makes great use of the block, and is loaded with lots of smart features. This house has a long North-facing roofline and a perfect orientation for solar. With 26 solar panels installed above as part of a 8.5kW solar system, this home has a very small carbon footprint.
This home has a very practical floorplan. The master suite and two bedrooms are located towards the rear of the home. Located near the front door, the fourth bedroom is being used by the current owners as a home office and music room, although it is also perfectly suited to being a teenager retreat. Mirrored window film in the front bedroom gives a privacy boost.
The home has two living areas. There is a family room off the open-plan kitchen & dining rooms, and a lounge room which could be used as a theatre room for family movie nights. There is plenty of room for the family’s wardrobing with three mirrored built-ins and a walk-through robe in the ensuite. Both the ensuite and bathroom have floor-to-ceiling tiles, wall-hung vanities and shower niches.
The kitchen has all the regular features of a premium modern home, such as dual sinks, dishwasher, electric oven, gas cooktop and ducted rangehood. But, there are some nice kitchen extras, like charming pendant lighting over the kitchen island, and a plumbed fridge with icemaker and a built-in soda stream, which may be included as part of the sale, if desired. The walk-in pantry has enough wall-mounted spice racks to please a foodie, and has been designed as a proper butler’s pantry with 6 power points.
A nicely proportioned alfresco connects the indoors with the outdoors, and includes a barbecue fitted to mains gas. A UV-tinted roll-up patio blind on the alfresco can alternatively block out some of the hot sun in the Summertime or make this space a bit cosier in the Wintertime by retaining a bit more of the heat from the toasty over-head radiant bar heater.
The garden is small but very functional. The property has a water tank with electric pump, garden shed, rosemary hedge, herb garden, fragrant standard roses in various colours, as well as thriving citrus, a well-established mulberry and two mature plums. The backyard has a wide side-access gate, perfect for trailer access. There is a lush, grassy patch for furry friends & children to enjoy. The pop-up sprinkler system which keeps the lawn looking so good is connected to both town water and the water tank, and has the ability to switch between either. A dedicated fire pit area enjoys several wind breaks and is sited in a semi-private spot, where you could easily spark up a chat with the passing neighbours, if you wanted to invite them to enjoy the warm glow.
Something which really sets this home apart from most family homes in Bonner is the number of connected-home applications. A smart front door, which can be remotely unlocked via the Wi-Fi using a smartphone app, which integrates nicely with 4 security cameras connected to the Internet. Similarly, the garage door is connected to the Wi-Fi, and maybe remotely opened and closed. The current owners love the fact that the smart garage door is configured to close every evening at 9pm, just in case the kids have left it open. The heater in the alfresco is Wi-Fi enabled, so that the temp can be tweaked from one’s smartphone. And, finally, the pop-up sprinklers which manage the lawn watering are connected to the Wi-Fi. So, the automated watering times can be reconfigured remotely, even when you are on holidays. Although, the sprinkler system will check weather reports and forecasts to avoid over watering.
As well as all of the high-tech connections in this home, there are several nice opportunities nearby to connect with nature. There is a frog pond at the end of the street, and the Sun Moth Sanctuary is not far away. Within walking distance is also the Northern Border Campsite, where you can literally put your hand over the fence into New South Wales and enjoy the fresh air, listen to the birds, or explore part of the nearby Centenary Trail.
