Meticulously renovated and extended, this home presents the perfect turn-key opportunity. With sunlit living spaces, private outdoor grounds and beautifully appointed throughout, this elegant family home offers easy living in a superb location.
This home is on one of Yarralumla’s best streets, minutes from schools, shops, embassies and the parliamentary triangle. It is 600 metres to Lake Burley Griffin and surrounded by parks, bike paths, sporting ovals and playgrounds. Offering lifestyle and convenience, this home is a 10-minute commute to the city and Woden. And a short trip to the boutique shopping and dining experiences of Manuka and Kingston.
The original double-brick home is solid and charming. It was extensively renovated in 2008, nearly doubling in size, to offer generous and comfortable family living. The home itself is warm and stylish, with four bedrooms across two levels. The lower level is designed for both entertaining and relaxing, with spaces that cater to different functions and occasions. The formal living/dining room provides an elegant space for hosting guests. And the large main living space features a full wall of custom joinery, making it the perfect space for daily living.
The spacious kitchen is strategically located at the heart of the home. It includes stone benchtops, a full suite of Miele appliances and an abundance of storage behind soft close cabinetry.
The main bedroom is on the ground floor, offering a private retreat complete with a spacious walk-in robe and ensuite. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all with built-in robes and a year-round leafy outlook. The bathroom on this level is cleverly designed to make the most of the space, with a bath/shower and plenty of storage.
The downstairs living areas flow seamlessly to the rear of the home. Large sliding doors open to a generous north-facing entertaining area. Creating the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor living. The deck overlooks the beautifully maintained yard, where there is plenty of space for the kids and dogs to enjoy. Both the front and back yards are low maintenance and have scope to add your own touch.
The home allows for easy access to both public and private schools, including Yarralumla Primary School, Alfred Deakin High School, Canberra Girls Grammar School and Canberra Grammar School. It is also in the catchment for Narrabundah College.
