Beautifully presented, this charming four-bedroom family home, surrounded by neatly landscaped gardens, sits on a generous 959 m² block in a peaceful neighbourhood. The substantial size and configuration provide for superb entertaining and a lifestyle of convenience. The home features two spacious, sun-filled, north-facing living areas at the rear: one on the main level, which flows out to an expansive dining deck, and the other, a rumpus room on the lower level, leading to a fabulous outdoor entertaining area, garden, and pool. Both living spaces have floor-to-ceiling windows and doors and are of excellent proportion. There's also a formal lounge and dining area on the main level with delightful garden views, providing ample space for the whole family to retreat to a room of their choice.
Tasteful selections and materials have been used throughout, including Sydney Blue Gum hardwood flooring in the entry, dining, and kitchen areas, fresh carpets in all bedrooms and living areas, plus custom joinery, granite benchtops, and quality appliances in the kitchen.
The bedroom wing offers four generously sized bedrooms plus a study, which could easily serve as a fifth bedroom. The main bedroom has a recently upgraded ensuite. All bedrooms enjoy outlooks over the pool or delightful gardens.
The rear yard is magical, featuring a resort-style pool and an alfresco area with a well-equipped outdoor kitchen, including a woodfired oven, two gas BBQs, a stainless-steel sink, a three-door under bench bar fridge, and a dishwasher. The inground pool and entertaining spaces extend to lawns and a secure play area at the rear, a true kids' paradise complete with a cubby house, sandpit, and Santorini-inspired chicken coop. The home's proximity to Mt Taylor provides easy access to walking and riding trails. The gardens and landscaping are meticulously maintained and serviced by a full irrigation system. Atmospheric sensor lighting enhances the outdoor entertaining spaces. Solar panels capitalise on the home's perfect orientation for sun-powered energy.
Exceptional storage caters to all of life's necessities. A significant portion of the home's lower-ground footprint offers substantial under-house storage, complemented by a double garage and a carport area accommodating three additional cars. Extra parking space, set back from the street, provides room for a boat, trailer, van, or multiple cars.
With an impressive street presence and excellent access to Woden Town Centre, numerous cafes and restaurants, Southlands Shopping Centre, playing fields, Marist College, Melrose High, and the Canberra Hospital precinct, this exceptional home offers an unmatched lifestyle opportunity.
