AI summary
New Zealand's first certified Passive House in Glendowie, Auckland, sold at auction for $4.215 million. This landmark home offers superior comfort and sustainability.
Key benefits of the Passive House design include:
- A constant 20-22°C indoor temperature year-round
- Extremely low energy bills, around $120 per month
- A healthier home free from mould and condensation
Achieved through ultra-high insulation, airtight construction, and a mechanical heat recovery system, this design provides significant long-term savings and a superior living experience.
Beautiful established landscaping is another bonus for buyers. The section is a massive 999m².
Warmth from the people living in the house and activities such as cooking and bathing all help to raise the temperature inside the house.
The house covers 323m² and, if it weren’t for the Passive House credentials, would be relatively expensive to keep it at an even temperature.
