Discrete, single level and offering superb mountain views from a captivating front terrace, this enviable home is the only one in the final stage of the iconic Gary Willemsen-designed Shackleton Park complex to boast a swimming pool.
The current owners – just the second in the home's history – have relished the easy-care pool as a picture-perfect backdrop to their daily lives as well as a gathering point for entertaining friends and family.
The fabulous property is also one of the few to directly back onto the private knoll of bushland reserve that separates from other townhouses built by the award-winning Willemsen, who was lauded for the liveability and passive solar principals imbued in his homes.
These Willemsen attributes have been further enhanced here with the addition of modern sustainability measures including a 12kW solar system and 10kW battery. Sophisticated design and modern tasteful updates have also brought a stylish and contemporary aesthetic.
The kitchen, with its gleaming Corian work surfaces and quality appliances, is a sleek and sunny cooking space with glass doors that open on both sides to a kitchen garden and ornamental grapevine-entwined pergola offering shade in summer and warming plays of sunlight in winter.
An adjacent meals space has easy access to the pool terrace, as do the formal lounge and dining room tucked around the corner of the L-shaped layout. The latter has the additional asset of stackable doors that open to the front entertaining terrace, providing superb through-and-through airflow in warmer months as well as the perfect spot for a coffee or gin and tonic.
The common areas separate the main bathroom and three of the home's bedrooms, including a versatile fourth bedroom currently styled as a distraction-free home office ideal for remote work or quiet study, from the parents' suite, positioned at the end of the home overlooking the pool.
Situated just a 12-minute walk to the Mawson shops which are renowned as a foodie destination, and a 5-minute drive to the Canberra Hospital, Woden Town Centre and reputable schools, this home is the optimal suburban oasis.
