Few properties offer the combination of land, privacy, views and lifestyle found at 9 Dolly McGrath. Set on an extraordinary 2,362m² parcel in the area formerly known as Stromlo Village, this distinctive country-style Hamptons residence was built by Classic Constructions, one of Canberra's most respected builders. Backing directly onto reserve, the home enjoys sweeping views across Canberra towards Telstra Tower, Parliament House and Stromlo Reserve. With its beautifully established gardens, substantial proportions and remarkable outlook, this is a home that stands apart, an exceptional property in one of Weston Creeks and the Molonglo region's most tightly held pockets.
A stunning entry sets the tone from the moment you arrive, opening to 309m² of living space with an exceptional sense of scale and flow. To the left, the formal lounge and dining area provides an elegant setting for entertaining, while further through the home, the expansive open-plan kitchen and living area forms the centre of everyday family life. From here, large doors open directly to the gardens, creating an effortless connection between the indoors and the remarkable outdoor spaces. Set separately from the main living areas is an impressive additional room, ideal as a large home office, study or media room depending on your needs. Large windows throughout capture the gardens and reserve, filling the home with natural light. The 52m² oversized double garage and extensive additional parking complete the property's impressive scale.
The kitchen is beautifully designed and open to the main living area, featuring stone benchtops, quality appliances and a generous pantry providing excellent storage. Its outlook is predominantly across the beautifully landscaped backyard and swimming pool, creating a wonderful connection with the gardens, while a portion of the kitchen captures views across Canberra. It is a space that feels equally at home preparing a family breakfast or hosting a large gathering, with the gardens providing a beautiful backdrop to everyday living.
Four generous bedrooms and three bathrooms provide an exceptional level of comfort and privacy. The main bedroom offers its own sense of privacy and space, while two of the bedrooms are thoughtfully connected by a substantial shared walk-in wardrobe, creating an ideal arrangement for children or family members. The three bathrooms are well positioned throughout the home, providing excellent convenience for family living and guests alike. The combination of formal and informal living spaces gives the home an exceptional sense of flexibility, with room for entertaining, family life and quiet moments alike.
The gardens are a defining part of 9 Dolly McGrath, with expansive lush lawns framed by meticulously maintained hedges, established flowers and striking rock formations. The grounds offer an incredible range of spaces to entertain, relax and enjoy the outdoors, with the reserve beyond adding to the feeling of space and privacy. The swimming pool by Richard Hamill is beautifully positioned within the gardens, creating a natural focal point and an exceptional setting for summer entertaining, with both solar and gas heating. There is a genuine sense of having your own private country retreat, with Canberra's landmarks visible beyond the gardens.
Just three minutes from the Tuggeranong Parkway and approximately seven minutes from the Cotter, the location offers the best of both worlds, a genuine country-living feel to one side, with the convenience of Canberra's city life just moments away. Homes in this tightly held street are rarely offered to the market, making the opportunity to secure a property of this scale, character and setting particularly special. With its substantial landholding, established gardens, direct connection to the reserve, iconic Canberra outlook and timeless character, 9 Dolly McGrath is a truly rare offering.
