Situated on the doorstep of the Australian National University campus, the CSIRO and Canberra's Central Business District, this elegant and spacious four bedroom ensuite, dual occupancy residence is set amidst beautifully planted, well established gardens. Neat hedging adds to the street appeal, while an automatic gate and garage door allow smooth access and privacy.
The wide and welcoming entry flows into the stylish formal lounge. High ceilings add to the sense of space. Graceful, quality swagged drapes frame double doors which open onto a private courtyard. The gracious formal dining area also overlooks the courtyard through full-length windows, framed with identical drapes.
To the right, the entry leads into the north facing informal living space, with its generous floor area, high ceilings and full length windows overlooking the gardens. The impressive kitchen features sleek stone benchtops with breakfast bar, updated Bosch stainless steel gas hob, oven and dishwasher. A large walk-in pantry with auto light and full height cupboards, complete this chef's kitchen. Floating ash flooring extends through all living areas.
From the family room double doors open onto a generous paved entertaining area, which has a peaceful and private outlook over the richly planted gardens. A mature Chinese elm in the corner provides shelter and an attractive feature stone retaining wall surrounds the entertaining area.
The luxuriously proportioned, segregated and quiet master bedroom suite has generous walk-in robe space and a roomy ensuite with double vanities. The north aspect allows sunlight to pour in over the winter months. All other bedrooms have good separation, are equipped with built-in robes, while the third bedroom also has built-in shelving on two walls, making it suitable as a study. All bedrooms have an outlook to the gardens around the home. The main bathroom features quality finishes, a spa bath, shower and separate w/c. The large laundry has cupboard space and opens to another small courtyard garden.
Pathways around the home are a tour of discovery. The beautiful, established garden beds contain a large Japanese maple, tree ferns, a fruitful, juicy lemon tree, weeping birch, a mop top tree, hydrangea, fuchsias, many camellias and roses. There will be many surprises to delight the new owners through the change of seasons. The gardens are a peaceful oasis, screened from the street and other properties. An automated watering system for all areas and pots can draw water from the main supply or a 2,500 litre tank, making the maintenance simple and easy.
There is internal access to the large double garage. A ducted vacuum system is installed. Ducted evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating maintain comfort throughout the home.
The desirable, quiet and central location is exceptional, just steps from the ANU, the CSIRO and a short walk into the CBD. This single level, well laid out and beautifully presented home offers a superb environment for living and entertaining.
