This unique split level home is situated in central Mundingburra, close
to the Ross River. It offers a newly renovated tiled retreat, which is
currently utlised as a self contained living space with a kitchenette
and forth room.
Appropriately addressed at 8 Garden street, it boasts edible
landscaped gardens - created to grow organic produce and integrates
efficient systems for low maintence. Relax in the tropical settings that
feature permaculture designs, including a banana circle, double herb
spiral, chicken coop, composting system, kitchen garden and pereninal
fruit beds.
The outdoor gazebo creates a great space for entertaining and watching the chickens in their coop.
Shower under the stars in the 'nature' inspired outdoor shower;
screened by bamboo, gourds and a banana circle which captures the water
run off.
The double herb spiral grows an abundance of culinary and medicinal herbs and adds to the tranquility.
An undercover timber deck overlooks the private front garden where
the scent of jasmine wafts through the main living area, connected by
large sliding glass doors. This level comprises of a spacious lounge,
dining room and kitchen with 'Johnson River' hardwood timber floors.
The kitchen has been updated and features new stainless steel
appliances including an 'Amelia' gas oven and cooktop as well as plenty
of storage and views of the garden.
Upstairs leads to the three bedrooms, bathroom and seperate toilet.
Two rooms are air-conditioned, have built in robes and access onto a
balcony.
Apart of the refreshed interior and new exterior paint, new fans and
lights have been installed as well as a new hot water system.
The aspect captures the breeze and encourages natural light through
the windows, creating an open and airy feel with garden views. Summer is
welcomed with split system air-conditioning, insulation and reflective
paint on the roof.
Plenty of storage with a 3x3 shed, small locker, green house and two clothes lines.
