2 Macrobertson Street, Mawson ACT 2607

With the signature character of its mid-century bones evident in its elongated linear roofline, banks of windows and central fireplace, this ranch-style family home on an enormous 1517m2 corner block has benefitted from a landscaping overhaul that includes a modernised pool and cabana.

Designed by prominent architect Neil Renfree in 1969, it is a home that has an undeniable spirit of creativity expressed through its practical and aesthetic features. The sweeping horseshoe drive and oversized skillion carport offer drive through access and ample off-street parking. Raked ceilings provoke a dramatic sense of space and light throughout the home.

The layout includes three dedicated living and entertaining areas, which are heated by either crackling fires or split-systems making it easy to maintain constant temperatures year-round.

Two bedrooms flank each end of the living spaces. The master has a neat ensuite and walk-in wardrobe while the three other bedrooms all have dual aspects.

The gardens are a children's paradise equipped with a designer cubby, expansive flat lawn fringed by privacy hedging, feature fish pond and the expansive saltwater pool. There is also a hard stand for the grown-up's toys with space for a trailer, boat or caravan.

Situated an easy walk or bike ride from multiple playgrounds, Mawson playing fields, Jenny Wren Childcare, Mawson Primary School, Marist College, Melrose High School, Mawson shops and less than five minutes' drive from Canberra Hospital and Woden Town Centre, this striking and special home puts you in a favourable position.
