20 Ducane Street, Forrest ACT 2603

Contemporary architecture in a dreamy location, this bespoke 309m2 town home provides a strong and classic aesthetic. Incorporating a striking blend of textured elements from imported Argentinian parquetry flooring, sublime marble to elegant glass accents, this sophisticated residence has been designed to offer generous accommodation at every turn, a simple lifestyle and has been built with attention, care, and precision.

Built by Meier Constructions, no expense has been spared. Old fashioned craftsmanship is prominent throughout. Private street access opens into a sun filled alfresco, then to the ground level, encompassing generous lounge, open plan kitchen and informal meals area, formal dining and a secondary television room. Also on this level, the luxurious master suite with walk in robe and ensuite, which opens onto a leafy rear courtyard. The upper level, also with towering ceilings and full height doors, makes a statement with three gorgeous bedrooms, second ensuite, and master bathroom. Take in the serenity of the sunsets, on the upper level balcony, with panoramic treetop district views.

As well considered as the inside, carefully tended formal gardens frame the exterior. Box hedging, mature plantings, ornate standards add layers to the alfresco entertaining, complete with a covered BBQ plus pizza oven. The home is situated in an impressive tree lined street and is a mere 5 minute walk to the Manuka lifestyle precinct.
