Tucked away in one of Duffy’s most tightly held, elevated pockets, this exceptional residence redefines family luxury. Set on an expansive block with sweeping views across the Arboretum, Black Mountain and Parliament House, it blends resort-style living with everyday functionality in perfect harmony.
From the first impression to the final detail, this is a home designed to elevate every moment. Inside, a grand sense of space unfolds through soaring ceilings, vast open-plan living and abundant natural light. The showpiece kitchen is a true entertainer’s dream- anchored by a 3.7m Caesarstone island and equipped with dual Miele ovens, integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer, induction cooktop and Zip tap delivering instant boiling, sparkling and chilled water. The adjoining butler’s pantry adds further luxury with Vintec wine fridges, sink, Miele oven and extensive custom cabinetry.
Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen, the dining and family areas open to a north-facing alfresco terrace that perfectly blurs the line between indoors and out. With an operable louvre roof, motorised zip-track screens, and an off-form concrete fireplace with built-in pizza oven, this is a year-round entertaining haven.
Accommodation has been intelligently designed for balance and privacy. The master suite is a serene retreat featuring balcony access, dual walk-ins, and a luxurious ensuite with spa bath, dual vanities and open shower. The guest suite enjoys its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while the remaining bedrooms offer built-ins and access to a beautifully appointed main bathroom.
Comfort and efficiency are prioritised with in-slab heating, ducted evaporative cooling, a split system, slow-combustion fireplace, 15kW solar array, Wi-Fi irrigation and two 20,000L water tanks. A double garage with built-in storage and a huge 100m² shed with rear lane access add unmatched practicality.
Outdoors, the home transforms into a private resort. A 12m heated mineral pool glistens beside manicured gardens, while a full-size tennis court and basketball hoop provide endless family entertainment. Children can safely play on the lawns and playground, surrounded by lush landscaping and complete privacy.
Positioned in a quiet, tree-lined enclave bordered by reserve, the property enjoys easy access to Charles Weston School, Duffy Primary, Mount Stromlo, and Cooleman Court. Every element of luxury, functionality and lifestyle has been considered, this is one of Duffy’s most remarkable family retreats, where every day feels like a holiday.
