Beautifully positioned on Gossan Hill, with nature reserves framing both the top and bottom of the street, 5 Fitzherbert Place is a thoughtfully reimagined four-bedroom residence immersed within established, manicured native gardens.
Occupying an impressive 832sqm parcel in one of Bruce's most tightly held pockets, the home enjoys a rare sense of privacy and connection to its natural surrounds. Extensive landscaping has transformed the property, with considered native planting creating a lush backdrop around the residence and complementing its warm, timeless character.
Thoughtfully maintained and enhanced over the years, the home has evolved into a beautifully resolved family residence where quality materials, modern convenience and its garden setting come together effortlessly.
At the heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen and living area, creating an inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with stone benchtops and Miele appliances, while double-glazed windows draw in an abundance of natural light and enhance year-round comfort.
The home's character is beautifully expressed through solid timber floors, wool carpets and cedar windows and doors, introducing warmth and texture throughout. Modern conveniences have been carefully integrated, with LED lighting, USB double power outlets to all bedrooms and the study, and remote-controlled electric blinds.
Comfort continues within the bathroom and ensuite, both featuring underfloor heating, while the Surelock Home System provides added security and peace of mind.
Significant improvements have further enhanced the residence, including a new Colorbond corrugated roof and insulation completed in 2020. In 2024, the property underwent extensive landscaping and drainage works, reimagining the outdoor environment and establishing the manicured native gardens that now envelop the home.
Outside, the gardens are an integral part of the property's appeal. Established native landscaping creates privacy, greenery and a beautiful outlook from throughout the home, while its position on Gossan Hill places reserve and open space at both ends of the street, reinforcing the peaceful, nature-led character of the setting.
Despite its secluded atmosphere, the location remains exceptionally connected. Radford College, the University of Canberra, the Australian Institute of Sport and Bruce Stadium are all within easy reach, placing education, recreation and some of Canberra's key institutions close to home.
Reimagined, beautifully established and surrounded by nature, 5 Fitzherbert Place offers something increasingly difficult to find: a substantial family home on Gossan Hill where considered improvements, manicured native gardens and an exceptional position combine to create a genuine sense of retreat.
