Relish the sensation of floating above the landscape in this astounding designer home which backs onto Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve and has easy access to Mount Arawang walking trails. Deftly sited with windows lining the north side of the house, you capture views across the treetops to Parliament House and Canberra. Two sets of commercial sized glass sliding doors provide a stunning effect, fully opening to extend the upstairs living onto the substantial entertainment space that hugs the north and east sides of the home.
The enormous, combined living space and gourmet kitchen benefit most from this arrangement, flowing out to the terrace and allowing you to take in the landscape while also being connected to it. Below, the sparkling pool lends a vivid pop of cerulean colour against the lushness of delicate Japanese maples and the mellow tones of ornamental plums. There's even a dedicated outdoor platform ideal for yoga, reading or a kids camp out night. A dual workstation home office leading off the front entry has been kitted out with Canberra's own 'designcraft' cabinetry. Close by, the secluded master bedroom combines picturesque pool views, a custom walk-in wardrobe and resort calibre ensuite to create a true parental retreat.
An incredibly versatile downstairs floorplan has three impressive bedrooms and a second living room. An adjacent games room or gymnasium could easily become a fifth bedroom with its own entrance. Together, they create an amazing spacious private socialising zone.
The zoned gardens of this striking executive home supplement the soothing native pocket in which it sits. Live here and enjoy a privileged lifestyle that's close to amenities but in a world of its own.
