246 La Perouse Street, Red Hill ACT 2603

This superbly renovated double brick four bedroom ensuite home is situated on a generous block of 1,155 (approx.) square metres. Attractively landscaped gardens, rendered modernised faade and crisp white plantation shutters all create a striking first impression.

Stepping onto the wide front verandah your attention is drawn to the decorative panels, which take their inspiration from the Canadian Sugar Maple in the rear garden. The oversized front door opens to the entrance foyer leading to the formal living and dining area. High 2.7 metre ceilings with LED down lighting and ornate cornices, fresh white decor, plantation shutters, a gas log fireplace and NSW spotted gum flooring, create an elegant statement.

The beautiful timber flooring continues into the spacious family room, the hub of the home, which has a wonderful sense of space and light. Stylish bi-fold glass doors open onto an enormous, elevated Queensland spotted gum timber deck. Perfect for outdoor entertaining this area overlooks the lush green of the fully landscaped rear garden with its centrepiece, a mature Canadian Sugar Maple. A paved terrace, in the middle of the garden, features a fire pit and decorative screens. Viburnum hedges, "Dense Fence" variety, have been planted in both front and rear gardens and, with care, will grow to two metres within eighteen months.

The chef-designed kitchen showcases expanses of white granite benchtops, feature pendant and benchtop lighting, a stainless steel Ilve six gas burner freestanding cooker with large electric oven, commercial quality in-roof exhaust, Samsung dishwasher, Blanco black granite sink, large pantry and wine fridge. A Tallowwood bi-fold servery window conveniently opens to the deck area. The laundry, with granite benchtop and built-in cupboards is positioned adjacent to the kitchen and family room.

There is a luxuriously proportioned master bedroom featuring large corner windows overlooking the Maple tree in the rear garden and a walk-in wardrobe. The ensuite includes double sinks, Caesarstone vanity top, double shower heads and heated towel rail. There are three additional large bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes.

The beautifully appointed main bathroom features stylish Italian wall tiles, Caesarstone vanity top, double shower heads, freestanding bathtub, pebble shower floor, underfloor heating and two heated towel rails. The powder room is decorated with matching feature tiles.

Year round comfort is ensured with ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling and car accommodation includes a substantial double carport and single brick garage with automated door. There are three separate under-house storage areas, two lockable with lights and power with one suitable as a walk-in wine cellar.

Located within walking distance to the Grammar School, St. Bede's and Red Hill Primary Schools and the French Australian Pre School. The property is in close proximity to Narrabundah, St. Clare's and St. Edmund's Colleges, Red Hill and Manuka shopping precincts and the enjoyment of walking and mountain bike trails on Red Hill Reserve is just metres away!

The creativity, attention to detail and high quality finishes in this refurbishment was intended to be enjoyed by the family for many years to come, however, due to an interstate business opportunity this home now presents an opportunity for the next family to enjoy all this property has to offer.
