Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac just one street back from the foothills of Mt Taylor, this beautifully cared-for family home offers a rare combination of warmth, character, and space both inside and out. Originally purchased in 2005 by a family moving from the Blue Mountains, it was the charming facade and proximity to nature that first drew them in, but stepping through the front door was what truly sealed the deal.
A generous foyer welcomes you into the formal lounge and dining room, where polished timber floors, large windows, and a gas fireplace create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From here, the home opens into a spacious kitchen and family area, where floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides flood the space with natural light and offer leafy outlooks across the surrounding gardens.
The kitchen, completely renovated in 2013, features sleek stone benchtops, AEG electric appliances including oven and cooktop, soft-close cabinetry, a double sink, and tiled splashbacks. The matching laundry was updated at the same time and includes built-in cabinetry and access to the garden. Daikin ducted gas heating, Daikin evaporative cooling, and a Daikin reverse-cycle air-conditioner in the family room ensure complete climate control, supported by excellent cross-ventilation throughout the home.
The floorplan offers four generous bedrooms, three with built-in robes. The main bedroom is positioned privately and includes a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a stunning ensuite renovated in 2016. This luxurious space features underfloor heating, heated towel rails, a deep soaking bath, separate frameless-glass shower, large vanity with great storage, and quality fixtures and fittings. The main bathroom, renovated in 2017, mirrors this attention to detail and there are also two additional powder rooms for guests and everyday convenience.
Outdoors, A front deck offers breathtaking views across the valley, making it the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at sunset. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped yet easy to maintain, with established trees, Level lawns, and serene shaded areas that invite relaxation throughout the year. Surrounded by greenery on every side, the home provides a private and tranquil retreat
Positioned within walking distance to Torrens Primary and Marist College, with easy access to the Canberra Hospital and Woden town centre, the location is as convenient as it is serene. The surrounding streets are family-friendly and walkable, with direct access to nature trails, wildlife and open green space, where you'll often see local dogs, kangaroos, and even horses.
