Architectural intelligence, low-energy living and sweeping city-wide views make an immediate impact at this high-performance home in Huntsbury, which comes with far more flexibility than the usual family format.

Designed by Kelly Rush, the home uses its hillside elevation to maximum effect, backs it with advanced energy efficiency and uses the lower level to unlock genuine multi-generational and short-stay capability.

The top floor gives daily life the best seat in the house. An open-plan dining area and lounge set the standard around a highly specified kitchen fitted with appliances from Gaggenau to Fisher & Paykel and a butler’s pantry that draws storage and the laundry out of sight, while the adjoining lounge slows the pace and offers a valuable second living zone.

Vast sweeps of glazing keep the panorama permanently in play across both living spaces, framing uninterrupted views across the city to the distant Alps, while the open-plan area moves directly to the balcony for coffee at dawn, dinner at dusk and drinks after dark.

A rear deck with built-in bench seating gives outdoor living a more sheltered direction, while a 500-bottle cellar turns wine storage into another mark of distinction.

Four bedrooms and three tiled bathrooms deliver volume and versatility, with the lower-level taking flexibility further through master-keyed bedrooms and bathroomsalongside a large rumpus and kitchenette, together creating clear self-contained potential for multi-generational living or Airbnb use.

Efficiency is engineered into the property from the ground up, with 24 north- and west-facing solar panels extending production across the day, joined by heat-pump hot water and in-slab heating and cooling across both floors. Econx home automation brings lighting, security, heating, hot water and Wi-Fi entry into one intelligent system, turning advanced technology into everyday ease.

A terraced lawn and raised vegetable beds add practicality and productivity, paired with a 5,000-litre rainwater tank and automated two-zone irrigation, while internal-access double garaging and two covered parking spaces take care of the cars.

Renowned for its outdoor lifestyle, Huntsbury puts walking tracks, biking trails and riverside routes close to the doorstep, while zoning for Beckenham Primary and Cashmere High School is joined by the cafés, shops and everyday essentials of St Martins and Cashmere on the flat, with the city around 15 minutes away.

High-end specification, a spectacular setting and sophisticated family layout give this Huntsbury home a finish that is difficult to fault and even harder to find.
