It's liveable luxury, in a tightly held Yarralumla pocket where embassies and treetops form the backdrop to your every day. Set privately back from the street on a sprawling 2,347m² parcel, this is a rare offering in Yarralumla's tightly held diplomatic pocket.
Benefitting from a prestigious address, this home's radius incorporates some of Canberra's icons including Lake Burley Griffin and Parliament House as well as top schools all within 5-minutes by car.
Extensively renovated, the single-level residence here blends privacy, solar-passive design, and stylish contemporary finishes across a thoughtful floorplan.
It's a home that draws you in, unfolding through gardens, along a granite-laid driveway, and into a haven of deeply considered design.
Zoned for togetherness and privacy, for light and shade, this home lives comfortably. The formal lounge to the front is a large, light-filled space in which to gather and relax, enjoying the leafy views in summer and the crackle of flames behind the fireplace in winter.
This intent continues throughout the home's casual living areas which are awash with sunlight. Cedar-framed doors open the main living areas to the north-facing rear garden and to a vast, sheltered side terrace and fabulous entertaining area.
Beyond the terrace, the garden tells its own story-of fruit in every season, of figs and mandarins, lemons and pears. Of spring bulbs pushing through dappled shade and weeping cherry branches. It is a space that hums with beauty, layered and perennial.
The kitchen provides a perfect vantage point to observe the seasonal changes, with a separate prep zone and well-designed cabinetry catering for the real practicalities of daily life.
Four bedrooms clustered optimally in the eastern wing provide restful retreats from the living areas.
The parent's suite has a 4.5-metre raked ceiling, where a sculptural Italian pendant floats overhead like a piece of art. Beyond, a two-way wardrobe provides unique amenity, but it's the ensuite bathroom that will captivate.
A single slab of striking granite forms a backdrop for the wet-room layout, where a black and white sculptural tub sits beneath a skylight and adjacent to a rainfall shower – an exceptional serene, and inviting space to rejuvenate.
Overall this home already provides family comfort but also the opportunity to move in as is or add personal touches or take advantage of the massive block and reimagine a new dream home.
