Large energy efficient home with water and mountain views

The best houses to buy are the ones that the owners do up for themselves with a view to never sell ……….and this just happens to be one of those houses.<br/>It has been my husband and my home for the last 20 years and as I've been an agent for 20 plus years I would like to think have a fairly good idea of what people are looking for in a property when they buy.<br/><br/>We were never going to sell but as we have six children, a tree change is beckoning and we will be leaving our beautifully restored home on Roslyn Avenue with water and mountain views. <br/><br/>There are six bedrooms three bathrooms two bathrooms have their own hot water cylinders to ensure that we never run out of hot water. The six bedrooms can either be totally bedrooms or two of them can be turned into sitting rooms so then you would have three large sitting/living rooms in the property.<br/>The kitchen and lounge are Open Plan and very large and expensive.<br/><br/>There is also an office with water views.<br/><br/>The house has an approximate insulation R value of 7.5 we've just had white plantation shutters put throughout and 33 solar panels on the roof.<br/>We have a double garage with remote control access and more power points than you could poke a stick at.<br/>There is plenty of storage In the house with built-in's in all of the bedrooms except for one and two bedrooms have ensuites.<br/>The master has an ensuite and a normal room size walk in robe and a huge ensuites and the most amazing water views.<br/>Of course the property is completely double glazed. The carpet is pure wool there are tiles in the kitchen and in the bathrooms and it has been freshly painted what more can I say.<br/><br/>There is a sunroom which can be used as a sunroom or a laundry drying room with built in clothesline.<br/>The laundry/pantry is also the size of a normal room.<br/>The heating is all electric with 2 heat pumps and an electric heater that looks like a wood fire and 3 more electric wall heaters that have hardly ever been used.<br/>The gas stove has six hotplates with a griddle plate and an electric oven.<br/>The Bench tops in the kitchen are from granite transformations and beautifully enhance the kitchen with its white drawers. An integrated dishwasher and no overhead cupboards.<br/><br/>Other features<br/>- Barn door<br/>- Stone fireplace<br/>- Stone walls <br/>- Rear courtyard<br/>- Cubby house<br/>- Side access<br/><br/>The reason we are selling is because after 20 years, John and I have finally found a house that we both love and the children love too.<br/>It meets all of our needs and it's taken a long long time to find one that does.<br/>So it is a Tree Change for us and hopefully a Sea Change for you.
