In one of Forrest's most peaceful streets, 22 Ducane Street is a beautifully constructed single-level residence designed by acclaimed Canberra architect Hugh Gordon. Offering privacy, security, and effortless living, this freestanding home is just a short stroll from the vibrant cafés, restaurants, and boutiques of the Manuka Village.
The home delivers a refined, low maintenance lifestyle without compromising on space or comfort. The thoughtfully designed floorplan features four generous bedrooms, including a private master retreat. This sumptuous master bedroom is as inviting during the daytime as it is after dark. Complete with a generous walk-in robe, large ensuite, and direct access to a secluded north facing, front courtyard, ideal for a quiet morning coffee. The remaining bedrooms include built-in robes and are positioned to maximise privacy.
The main bathroom features a relaxing spa bath, while a separate powder room adds everyday convenience. A dedicated study nook provides a practical space for working from home or quiet reading.
At the heart of the home is the light filled open plan living, dining, and kitchen area, enhanced by timber flooring and a seamless connection to outdoor entertaining. The modern kitchen is equipped with quality Blanco appliances, excellent storage, and a central island bench, perfect for both entertaining and daily living. Additional linen storage and a large laundry with external access add to the home's functionality.
Year-round comfort is assured with ducted gas heating, electric cooling, and a ducted vacuum system. Security features include an intercom and optional back-to-base alarm for added peace of mind.
Outside, a private timber deck and low-maintenance irrigated gardens create an inviting setting for outdoor living. Vehicle accommodation includes a lock-up garage and a large carport, with extra space for a trailer, motorbike or visitor parking.
Set on a virtually flat 496sqm block with no internal steps, the home offers excellent accessibility and long-term liveability.
Set within premium school catchment areas, such as Canberra Grammar School, Telopea Park School and Forrest Primary School.
