In a privileged position set well back from the street and opposite the sweeping lawns of Collins Park, this exceptional residence offers an alluring blend of modernist '60s appeal and contemporary sophistication.
From the moment you step inside, there's a feeling of effortless flow. Raked ceilings soar above expansive living spaces, where walls of glass frame outlooks to a secluded front courtyard and verdant gardens beyond. Centre stage in the living area, a marble-clad gas fireplace provides ambience and a place to congregate for intimate gatherings or quiet evenings.
Crafted for both style and function, the kitchen is a standout: a 3-metre-deep island highlights the space, paired with integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, premium appliance cupboards, walnut floating shelves and clever storage solutions.
Designer lighting throughout adds a sculptural quality, while handmade Italian tiles to the European laundry and a bespoke door to the main ensuite reflect the home's artisan sensibility.
What truly sets this residence apart are the two extraordinary outdoor entertaining zones that allow progressive dining. To the front, a peaceful bluestone terrace with water feature is surrounded by camellias, tree ferns and old-world roses, attracting native birds including parrots and wattle birds - a perfect setting for sunny, atmospheric brunches.
To the rear, a covered terrace with built-in barbecue overlooks the sparkling private pool, creating a second entertaining zone that promises languid summer entertaining.
The main bedroom suite is a sanctuary - peacefully zoned with an oversized walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite featuring dual showers. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or extended family, both with French doors to the terrace, and another with a custom study at entry.
Additional features include keyless entry, and a central atrium that fills the interior with dappled natural light.
Located mere minutes from Manuka's boutique cafes and restaurants, and walking distance to Lake Burley Griffin, Red Hill and the National Triangle, this is an downsizer alternative that offers enduring quality and serenity.
