You won't want to miss seeing this beautiful and spacious home for yourself - with its thoughtful design making the most of gleaming hardwood floors and abundant light and space, there is a welcoming warmth and calming ambience that exudes from every carefully designed space and stylish feature. And, when combined with its tremendous location, you'll agree that a home like this is often sought, but rarely found.
Being an easy walk to Canberra's Central Business District, the Australian National University, and the ever-popular Braddon precinct, means that you can have the best of both worlds - enjoying all that the city has to offer, but leaving plenty of time to make the most of living in a tremendous home, where you can just relax, or entertain.
The enchantment begins as you enter through the front courtyard into the welcoming and functional open-plan living areas, with both formal and casual spaces and a powder-room. The kitchen, which is seamlessly integrated, features vast stone benches, abundant cupboards, large corner pantry, quality Smeg appliances, 5 burner gas cooktop, impressive glass splashback and wrap around breakfast bar.
The rich solid Tasmanian oak hardwood floors provide a beautiful base and sets the standard for clean lines and simple, uncluttered elegance. The extra high and coffered ceilings add interest and a loft feel, and the many large windows and glass sliding doors create a great indoor-outdoor flow. The timber back deck is a beautiful extension of the indoor living spaces, while offering a delightful private outdoor entertainment area.
The wooden curved staircase, with tempered-glass partition, leads upstairs to a superbly flexible space — currently used as a study — that allows the expansive master suite to be separate from the main bathroom and remaining two bedrooms, both of which feature large windows and mirrored built-in wardrobes. The master suite is an enormous room that boasts a walk-in robe, direct access to the east-facing balcony and an ensuite that includes a luxurious double spa bath, large shower and deluxe 'his and hers' double stone vanity.
Downstairs is a massive carpeted storage room that offers great flexibility, being ideal as a music/media/home theatre room, rumpus, home gym, table tennis room, or a teenage retreat.
The stairs to this room also provide internal access to the over-sized double garage with workshop space and automatic door.
In addition to its proximity to Braddon, Canberra's Central Business District and the Australian National University, other nearby attractions include Haig Park, O'Connor Shops, Alliance Francaise, and a number of schools, such as Turner and Ainslie Schools, and Merici College.
