Photos: Home.by Holly.<\/p>\n<p>A masterclass in home architecture and passive design, <a href=\"https:\/\/zango.com.au\/property\/99-duffy-street-ainslie-act-2602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">99 Duffy Street<\/a> is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom one-of-a-kind property in Ainslie that sets the standard for smart homes.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear from the get-go that this property has been designed for impact, fronting the street with European larch shingles, a unique colour scheme and shroud-edge windows. But what\u2019s hidden are the technical and structural inclusions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a home built to the rigorous standards of a German PassivHaus, designed by Adhami Pender Architecture, which means that it\u2019s energy efficient, comfortable, intelligent and beautiful!\u201d Home.by Holly agent Holly Komorowski says.<\/p>\n<p>Features include double insulation, an 8.8 kW solar array, Zehnder heat recovery system, a thermal banking slab and German-engineered triple-glazed windows, all of which take advantage of a north-facing aspect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s engineered to perform at the highest energy star rating, which obviously means that running the home is cost-effective, while utilising the most sophisticated control systems,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>But the design is about more than efficiency. The architect has created a beautiful place to live, cleverly laid out across two floors, with multiple living spaces and two main suites.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you step in the front door, you\u2019re met by the main living space. It has a warm, farmhouse feel, with plenty of organic materials and the dining\/kitchen space is separated from the living space by a prominent stone wall,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>This clever method of separation creates an aesthetically pleasing delineation between the dining space, which is more intimate, and the living space, which feels expansive thanks to a clerestory space and high windows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis home exemplifies architecture at its finest \u2013 the kind that feels so effortless and intuitive that it almost goes unnoticed,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of the property, the kitchen beautifully blends a design that pleases the eye with practicality. A large window drenches the space in light, and the long island bench and window nook make for ideal conversation spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe seamless connection between the kitchen, mudroom and garage was designed to support the rhythm of daily life, whether it\u2019s bringing in groceries, unpacking school bags or heading out the door in the morning,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>Private spaces include two separate main suites, each with beautifully finished ensuite bathrooms and walk-in robes, enhancing the potential for multi-generational living or hosting guests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main suite features a striking internal window that overlooks the double-height living room void, allowing natural light to filter deep into the space,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>Bedrooms also benefit from vaulted ceilings, creating plenty of space and light.<\/p>\n<p>A private study with fixed joinery, a floating desk and custom lighting provides a perfect place to work from home, set up a home library or do home projects.<\/p>\n<p>A similar level of care has been taken with the outdoor spaces too, which are simply exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a cosy alfresco area with a wood fire, an integrated pizza oven and cafe blinds. But that\u2019s not the half of it. There\u2019s also a grassed area, a sitting space and, of course, the heated pool with a spa,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>The property also boasts a wine cellar, device-controlled lights, CCTV, windows and irrigation, a double carport and double garage.<\/p>\n<p>And the location takes the cake, being literally a street away from the Mount Ainslie Reserve, with easy access to walking trails and green spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAinslie shops are also just a few streets away. You couldn\u2019t ask for a better combination of daily peace and access to amenities,\u201d Holly says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis home is on another level. Every space has been designed to impress, every detail feels elevated, and there\u2019s not a single box left unticked. It\u2019s the kind of property that doesn\u2019t just meet expectations \u2013 it completely redefines them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on <a href=\"https:\/\/zango.com.au\/property\/99-duffy-street-ainslie-act-2602\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">99 Duffy Stree<\/a>t in Ainslie, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/zango.com.au\/agents\/holly-komorowski\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Holly Komorowski<\/a>.
