Isaacs Ridge, densely covered by pine forest, rises steeply behind the suburb, forming a scenic backdrop with a European quality, to this exciting, award winning former display home, situated in attractive surrounds. Offering near-level access right around, this thoughtfully designed four bedroom, two bathroom home with expansive open plan living areas, is sheltered behind the attractive brickwork of its walled gardens, which contribute to the excellent street appeal. Expanses of neat paving lead up two steps, to the light filled entry, which gives no hint of the dramatic interior which awaits discovery.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, cedar lined and supported by Oregon beams, create a striking first impression. The cosy warmth from the Chimenees Philippe fireplace, exposed brickwork and cedar lined walls, all contribute to the chalet-like, intimate atmosphere of this stunning formal living area, a fabulous space for relaxing and entertaining through Canberra's winter. These impressive design elements continue into the spacious formal dining room, which is bathed in natural light. Sliding glass doors open from the lounge onto the paved front courtyard, sheltered by a pergola, while the formal dining area opens onto a second entertaining area, also accessible from the family room. The seamless flow of interior living spaces to three distinct outdoor areas, is a standout feature of the home, designed for effortless entertaining, easily accommodating large gatherings when required.
The light filled open plan family room and kitchen open onto private outdoor areas and gardens on both sides. The spectacular Oregon beams which support the high ceilings throughout formal and informal living areas, radiate here from a central high point above the kitchen, adding to the atmosphere of the generously proportioned family room, which is warmed by gas heating. The kitchen is equipped with a new Westinghouse stainless steel oven, a gas hob and a dishwasher. The third paved outdoor area, at the rear of the home, is covered with a pergola and overlooks the back garden. From here you can enjoy the view up to Isaacs Ridge.
The family room leads to the third and fourth bedrooms, both having built-in robes and an outlook to a courtyard garden. These bedrooms are served by the main bathroom, with the luxury of a spa and there is a separate w/c, with a hand basin. A huge benefit is the fantastic walk-in linen closet which provides excellent storage.
The master, second bedroom and bathroom are located off the entry. Each bathroom has a separate hot water unit. The spacious main bedroom features a walk-in robe/dressing room, while bedroom two has a built-in robe. A sliding glass door from the master bedroom opens onto the rear entertaining area.
The entry provides internal access to the double, brick garage, which has two new auto door mechanisms. Having previously been used as a home office, the garage is equipped with a sliding glass door, a gas wall heater and a reverse cycle air conditioner.
The fantastic, geographically central location offers fast access to major transport routes and is just a short drive to The Canberra Hospital, Woden town centre, Phillip business district and Southlands shopping centre. Isaacs shops are within walking distance and local primary and high schools are just a short drive away.
