Experience the exquisite contemporary offering of this premium property enjoying an elevated position in the inner north of Canberra. A visionary collaboration between a leading architect, interior designer and master builder has created a cutting edge solar passive residence taking advantage of the sweeping city and bushland views.
In a coveted and privileged position nestled at the base of Bruce Ridge Reserve, this magnificent home is an exceptional lifestyle experience and delivers a unique opportunity to acquire a special and rare offering.
The subtle and organic nature of the construction reflects the thoughtful consideration and attention to detail which has been given to all elements of the home. An elegant blend of recycled timbers, glass and burnished concrete, integrated with feature plywood ceilings and joinery, personalises the spaces with a contemporary edge. Soaring four metre high raked timber ceilings in the living areas give an exceptional sense of space and light with the entire property connecting seamlessly to the outdoors.
Inspired by the natural surrounds and a position with unparrelled extensive views, glass doors integrate light, space and a north aspect. The open plan spaces connect with alfresco decking to take in Mount Majura, Mount Ainslie, Black Mountain, the city and beyond.
Luxurious finishes and appointments deliver continuity throughout, with thoughtful and considerate design providing clean lines and functionality. The large kitchen offers a four metre Caesar Stone benchtop, extensive stainless steel cooking areas, modern appliances, double oven and generous storage. A large study adjoins, facilitating a liveable and relevant space for families.
The relationship between the home and the outdoors is redefined with lifestyle concepts intertwined in the design. Daybeds, sky windows and louvres unify the home with its surrounds. The property features four bedrooms, bathroom, powder room and en suite, open plan living spaces flowing seamlessly to the alfresco decking areas and fully landscaped gardens. With a north aspect to all bedrooms and living areas, the home embraces solar passive principles and allows natural light to penetrate right to the core to capture the winter sun and warmth. The main bedroom & en suite offer a secluded retreat with glass doors opening to a private courtyard. Three double sized bedrooms, all with large robes and storage, enjoy private and serene garden aspects.
Strong environmental considerations have been given to the design and lifestyle on offer, as recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects AIA and Housing Industry Association HIA winning the Greensmart House of the Year 2007.
