Overview

Gorgeous gardens, flexible floorplan

2 Larakia Street, Waramanga is a beautiful family home set on a generous 995m2 parcel of land, where magnificent, landscape-designed gardens take centre stage. The gardens were created lovingly by notable Canberra Gardener Barbara Nosworthy who maintained the highly regarded private garden known as (Roseraie de la Faunt - French for "Rose Garden of the Faun"). It was opened to the public as part of Open Gardens Canberra in Spring 2018. The garden is still listed in the organisation's online Garden Gallery under that name and location. On arrival you are welcomed along an almost magical boardwalk that leads beneath a timber arbor marked Roseraie de la Faunt. From here the garden unfolds in layers of colour and texture: soft pink dogwood blossoms drift overhead, vivid red rhododendrons glow against mature tree trunks, and a single bright yellow tulip stands proudly beside the decorative blue gate. Sculptural stacked-stone cairns rise from slate circles, while meandering paths wind past hundreds of plant varieties, lush green borders and a tranquil koi pond where orange and gold fish glide beneath a gentle fountain. This is only the first hint of the beauty that continues both outside and in. Inside, an expanse of warm timber floors opens into a good-sized lounge and separate dining room. The large kitchen offers generous bench space and updated Smeg appliances, perfect for the gourmet cook. The home provides three bedrooms plus a spacious multipurpose room at the rear that captures the afternoon sun (currently used as a fourth bedroom). New ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, together with roller shutters on every window, ensure year-round comfort. The bathrooms, while largely original, remain in very good condition with updated shower screens. Every bedroom is well proportioned and framed by picture-window views of the surrounding gardens. Large under house storage and lock up double garage means all your storage need are taken care of. Outside, the wonderland continues: meandering paths, ponds, sculptures and an extraordinary collection of plants create a private sanctuary that feels both carefully tended and delightfully wild. As Cicero's plaque on the wall reminds us, "If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need." At 2 Larakia Street, that timeless truth is lived every day. Currently set up as 4 bedrooms 2 bath 2 car New ducted r/c Large multipurpose area to rear Stunning landscape architect designed gardens Updated Smeg appliances to kitchen Huge under house storage Large double, brick garage Minutes from Woden and Cooleman Court A simply magical place to be (4th Bedroom unapproved)
