'Green living' is elevated to a class above with this carefully considered three-bedroom home, enhanced with an eco-friendly house extension celebrated in the Darebin City Council's Sustainable Homes program.

A model for low-energy living with its passive solar design, double-glazed windows and maximum insulation, this simple yet intelligently configured home also enjoys the benefits of solar hot water and solar panels with an ongoing premium feed-in tariff, which translates into no electricity bills!

Quality recycled flooring, doors, windows frames, architraves and skirting boards provides yet another insight into the home's low climate impact, while magnificent highlight windows in the spectacular open-plan living/dining (with feature brick wall and a towering cathedral ceiling) draw an endless supply of northern sunshine into the fashionable space.

An outstanding solid Huon pine benchtop with a natural edge is the face of the smartly renovated kitchen, equipped with sleek cabinetry, clever pantry, heaps of storage, easy-to-clean splashback and quality appliances; its direct view across the Pine-decked undercover alfresco and grassed north-facing backyard allows you to keep an eye on the kids playing outside and prepare meals at the same time.

All three bedrooms are of generous proportions (master with provisions for ensuite) and bathed in natural light, while a bright family bathroom, split-system heating/cooling, Merbau timber front fence, separate laundry, garden shed, cubby house for the kids and two off-street car spaces on an excellent 535sqm (approx.) block are further highlights of this one-of-a-kind property.

Enhancing your standard of living is the five-star location, which sits within close proximity of the Thornbury border and is therefore central to Pender's Grove Primary School, Thornbury High School, the No.86 tram, bus services, Thornbury train station, parks, Northland Shopping Centre, popular local bars and eateries and Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre, which is currently undergoing a state-of-the-art redevelopment expected to be completed mid-to-late 2023.
