This tastefully renovated, perfectly located spacious four-bedroom home offers the best of all worlds; a comfortable Inner South lifestyle, in a highly sought-after location with easy access to Canberra’s best schools.
The highly functional layout is built around two separate wings - one for sleeping and one for living/entertaining. Jarrah floorboards accent the two internal living rooms as well as the hallway connecting the four bedrooms. At the centre of the house is a large open-plan kitchen/dining area which flows to a covered deck with well-appointed outdoor kitchen. The vergola with rain activated shutters combined with the mood-setting LED lighting creates an outdoor room that can be enjoyed day or night, rain or shine. Leading on from the deck and overlooked by the family room, is a lush manicured lawn bordered with a range of established shrubs and hedges.
This home is exceptionally practical and has been thoughtfully enhanced to maximize all year-round comfort, as shown by its impressive energy efficiency rating of 5.5 stars. Some of the practical features are obvious, like the large rear garage offering oodles of storage; or the main double garage with internal access and circular driveway, making life easy for the family with multiple cars. But it's the things you don’t notice, or can’t even see, that make this house so special.
Like the European-style double glazing and heavy-duty insulation, keeping the internal temperature just right all year round. Never again will you need a hot water bottle, even in the depths of a Canberra winter! Then there are beautiful designer curtains. The custom-made outdoor blinds providing late afternoon shade on the deck. The new electrical wiring throughout. Or the purpose-built cabinetry for keeping school bags, books and shoes tucked away neat, tidy and out of sight. This thoughtfulness is also shown in the easy care, low maintenance gardens with in-built irrigation both to the front and rear, and established hedges for privacy.
Renovated, elegant, practical and highly energy efficient – this really is a home for all seasons in the heart of Canberra’s Inner South, offering everything you could possibly want from a home, plus a little bit more.
