Gracefully nestled within one of Forrest's most tightly held enclaves, 'Waterford' is a stunningly beautiful landmark family residence of rare scale, elegance, and distinction. A true home of character, it functions seamlessly for family living, with considerable thought evident in every aspect of its design and flow. Set on a 1,861m² block framed by impressive formal gardens, intricate hedging, and ivy-covered walls, the home evokes the ambience of a European country estate – yet is only moments from Manuka Village, Canberra's CBD, and the Parliamentary Triangle.
Positioned in a leafy, quiet street of only a handful of homes, this outstanding residence blends old-world charm with exceptional craftsmanship. Families will value the enviable location, within a few minutes walk to Canberra Girls Grammar and nearby other leading schools.
Spanning over 500m² of living, 'Waterford' is as much a work of art as it is a home. A welcoming grand entry hall flows to refined formal living and dining rooms, complemented by a superb kitchen – a true chef's dream – featuring Calacatta marble and high-end Miele appliances. The vaulted family room and light-filled library open to private terraces and beautifully manicured gardens, while the pool area, lush lawns, and rear gardens provide the perfect setting to comfortably entertain on a large scale.
The master suite on the lower level is a private sanctuary with an opulent marble ensuite, underfloor heating, a charming clawfoot bath, and a walk-through dressing room. Upstairs, three additional king-sized bedrooms are elegant and share another sumptuous marble bathroom, each space as charming and luxurious, complemented by a Juliet balcony with views over delightful gardens. An elegant powder room services the formal and informal living areas, while a versatile additional room downstairs is ideal for a guest retreat or gymnasium.
Throughout the residence, timeless décor is evident – from antique chandeliers, raw silk drapery, brushbox timber flooring to hand-crafted mouldings, and ornate fireplace with marble mantle. Beyond the interiors, the estate features a heated swimming pool, imported European fountain and wrought-iron gates, entertaining terraces, extensive storage, a wine cellar, and four-car garaging accessed via dual driveways.
Meticulously designed and inspired by European architecture, Waterford stands as one of Canberra's most beautiful residences – a rare home of distinction where elegance, craftsmanship, and family living converge.
