Offered for the first time in 50 years, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a grand and extraordinary home, with a northerly aspect and sweeping views across the valley to the National Arboretum, Black Mountain and the Lake. This captivating residence is set on a generous 1183m2 parcel of land, at the top of the hill in a private and tightly-held cul-de-sac, with a nature reserve at the rear and side.
Upon entry through the foyer there is a drawing room to the left, and a parlour to the right - both are exquisitely styled with an elegant olde-world charm. Also downstairs is a bedroom, bathroom, powder room and the laundry. The nostalgically attractive grace of the home continues upstairs with a spacious living area, the main bathroom, kitchen and formal dining room, as well as a stunning light-filled conservatory. Also upstairs are three bedrooms, including the master bedroom with doors opening onto the balcony boasting amazing 180 degree views across the valley. The conservatory has been designed to take full advantage of the fantastic aspect and expansive views, and has French doors to access the rear gardens, a charming pergola and the front balcony.
Outdoors the beautifully established gardens are a testament to decades of planning and nurturing, with terraced rock-wall gardens bursting with colour throughout all seasons, and boundary foliage that creates both ambience and privacy. Other noteworthy features include reverse cycle air conditioning in the living room, an external room adjacent to the front entry that could be used as a home office or teenager retreat, a circular driveway and double garage with auto doors.
This wonderful property is situated in the heart of our Nation's beautiful Capital, and is located within a short drive to the Curtin Shopping Centre and Westfield Woden, as well as the best public and private schools that Canberra has to offer. This rare jewel is one of a kind, and an incredible opportunity such as this may never come again.
