Mugga Way is recognised as one of Canberra's finest addresses and this magnificent residence stands out as a substantial quality-built home and to a size and scale extremely rare for this vintage. Exuding luxury, opulence and sophistication, it has been preserved sympathetically to the highest standard of its era.
This grand residence does not disappoint, in fact, it sets the bar at a dizzying height for the homes that follow along the 'Golden Mile'. This unique home can never be replicated. It captures the essence of mid-late 20th century architecture and the original builder's attention to detail has realised a home that is as relevant today as it was when it was built 40 years ago.
Upon entry you are received through oversized double timber doors, into a soaring glass walkway topped by a crown of solid oregon beams. Adjacent is a central easily accessible courtyard that wraps around a stunning, sparkling swimming pool.
The formal lounge, with its cathedral-like ceilings and opulent fireplace, radiates an atmosphere and ambience of luxury, and leads up into a dining room ideal for a formal reception or family celebration. These rooms are complimented by a billiard room and fully equipped bar, with stacked slate sentinels that flows into the casual family and dining rooms, again highlighted by their cathedral-like ceilings. Accessed from the family room is an underground wine cellar with space for at least 1000 bottles.
Central to the home is the kitchen, which continues the home's theme of grand-scale living with optimal functionality and timeless design. Features include a mix of stone and stainless-steel benchtops and a Blackwood breakfast bar, Miele appliances, Teppanyaki grill and custom joinery providing plenty of storage. The laundry, an additional craft/storage room, full bathroom and internal access to the garage are also in this wing.
The bedroom wing that centralises around an atrium sitting area, housing four bedrooms and a study all with vast hardwood cabinetry, including 2 stylish king-sized bedrooms, and 3 brand new luxury bathrooms. The stunning master suite enjoys a view towards the garden and Red Hill Reserve and includes hardwood built ins, sitting area and a luxe hotel-style ensuite with double shower, walk in robe, in-slab heating and blackwood timber benchtops.
Beneath this wing is the ultimate bonus; a basement workshop space offering unlimited options.
The home is completed with a gym room off the central courtyard that is completed with an ensuite and sauna.
