A classic mid-century modernist Willemsen design, this unique residence combines architectural character, generous proportions, a highly functional split-level layout, and outstanding future potential. Set amongst beautifully established gardens and enjoying separate-title ownership with no strata fees, this is a rare opportunity in one of Farrer's most tightly held pockets.
Designed to maximise its prized northerly orientation, the home is bathed in natural light through the full height windows that allow the outside in, with leafy surrounds and views towards Mt Taylor. High raked ceilings, clerestory windows and the split-level design create a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and connection to the outdoors. The expansive lower-level lounge upon entry offers generous proportions. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature built-in robes and direct balcony access, while the main and second bedrooms are complemented by split-system heating and cooling for year-round comfort.
A kitchen that delivers size, storage and endless design opportunities exits out to the large dining with views to the rear courtyard. Mature gardens frame both the front and rear courtyards, creating private, sun-filled settings for entertaining, gardening, or simply unwinding in complete serenity.
The bathroom is well proportioned, while the spacious separate laundry offers excellent flexibility and future potential for additional storage, custom cabinetry, or even a second bathroom conversion (subject to approvals).
With light-filled living, architectural charm, established gardens, and exceptional lifestyle appeal, this is a home that offers both immediate enjoyment and exciting possibilities for the future.
Lifestyle & location:
Nestled within one of Farrer's most desirable and established neighbourhoods, the home is moments from the walking trails and natural beauty of Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve and Mt Taylor Reserve. Farrer Shops, Farrer Primary School, Southlands Shopping Centre, Woden Town Centre and the Canberra Hospital is approximately 3.8km away.
Combining architectural pedigree, lifestyle convenience, community, and proximity to nature, this is a location highly sought after by families, professionals, and downsizers alike.
