This spacious five bedroom family home is positioned on a large battle axe block opening into parkland. The leafy bush setting with native shrubs and spectacular tree ferns is a quiet sanctuary that has been loved by the current owner since its construction in 1971!
A morning stroll along Farrer Ridge starts just a couple of minutes up the pathway and could very easily finish at the Farrer shops with a coffee at the popular "Fox & Bow" café. The pathway at the rear leads gently down the hill to the primary school approximately 500m away and passes the well-kept playground of Wagga Street. With easy access to The Canberra Hospital, Westfield Woden and arterial roads this tranquil location is sure to appeal to many.
The floorplan flows freely with the central hub comprising the kitchen, lounge/dining room and family separating three bedrooms at one end of the home from the main bedroom and fifth bedroom option. The main bedroom is generously proportioned and offers; access into the garden, remote controlled blind, upgraded ensuite, walk in robe and reverse cycle air conditioning. The fifth bedroom could be used as a study or rumpus room. It takes full advantage of the architect's vision to bring the outside in, with high vaulted ceilings and picture windows.
The home has had many tasteful upgrades over the years and high-quality fixtures and fittings installed. The main living areas have had lots of Solace double glazed windows and doors installed to aid the thermal qualities. Nordic blinds have been installed to many windows throughout the home and offer a great balance of allowing light into the home whilst providing privacy with the ability to open the blinds from either the top down or the bottom up. The formal lounge dining room features an electric fireplace that creates a great atmosphere for the winter months. The vaulted ceiling adds to the spacious feel. The kitchen has a Miele Induction cooktop, under bench oven & dishwasher. You won't run out of hot water ever again with a Rinnai Instant gas hot water system!
A large double garage with remote controlled door offers excellent security for your vehicles and provides valuable storage and workshop space. A built-in work bench is a handy inclusion and windows looking into the garden add great natural light.
This is a great family home ready for the new owners to move straight into!
