This home on a new subdivision on the edge of a country town very well known as a holiday tourist destination overlooks national forest. The client brief required separate access to a self contained master suite which may be used as a bed and breakfast during the tourist season but the clients will enjoy the main view with their living area upstairs in an open living dining kitchen space with vaulted ceilings and a balcony.
The upstairs space also exists to the north side to a landing and stairs down to the backyard and a second alfresco area which adjoins the guest suite.
Windows on the north side with an eave will allow winter penetration of sun whilst excluding summer sun however the large window to the east will be an issue. Beautiful for sun rises over the forest but may need some thick curtains to prevent overheating the home early on a summer day.
This compromise is often necessary when a fantastic outlook is not 'to the north' and you want more glass to a less than ideal
Another two bedrooms on the ground floor share a bathroom.
There is a garage for one car, space behind for another vehicle and a parking space in front of the garage and to the side to allow a little extra parking.
