Positioned well back on a 1179 m2 block, northerly aspect with neatly landscaped gardens and mature trees this recently renovated family home is light and bright and amplifies a feel-good factor. Positioned conveniently only 800m from Canberra Grammar, 650m from St Bede's Primary School and minutes from Manuka, Narrabundah, Kingston Foreshore and Barton offices.
In addition to its capacity for entertaining, brilliant parties and dimensions to accommodate extended family, it's the many tranquil and beautiful moments this family home offers that prove especially captivating. Refurbished 100-year-old timber floors give living spaces a honeyed glow. A wall of windows in the lounge takes advantage of the home's elevation to provide views of Black Mountain. A strategically placed window off the open dining room perfectly frames a flowering plum making for a virtual Japonesque artwork that changes through the seasons.
Then there is the epic 7-pane folding door - also off the dining room - that opens to a huge east-facing deck which overlooks a magnificent Lacebark Elm whose branches would easily support a tree swing or hammock, or both.
The magical master bedroom wing boasts its own full-sized renovated bathroom with soaker bathtub and a private garden terrace accessed through French doors. A second king-sized bedroom has its own balcony, while an exceptionally bright and uplifting downstairs office not only has its own entrance off the driveway, it feels enveloped by the calming garden greenery. This current office space can also easily be used as another bedroom.
With a nearby rumpus that also has a private entrance off a rear terrace, an adjacent bathroom and the requisite plumbing to set up a kitchenette, there's scope for this downstairs space to fitted out as a studio or separate home.
