26 Hobart Avenue

Forrest ACT 2603

There's easy access to a large alfresco courtyard which overlooks beautiful, formal professionally landscaped gardens. A sleek integrated Beefeater barbecue on a floating stone surround provides well for summer entertaining. In cooler weather, the sizeable formal loungeroom to the front of the home is an atmospheric sanctum with a glorious bay-window with custom upholstered love seat and original wood fireplace. Peacefully segregated in a separate wing are the bedrooms, including the king-sized master with its glass-roofed walk-through wardrobe and well-appointed ensuite.

A second ensuite guestroom has access to the rear courtyard, while a third bedroom, currently fitted out as a private dressing room, is serviced by a luxury high-spec family bathroom. This third bedroom offers versatility and could easily be converted back to a bedroom or be made a classy library or study. The automated garage for this property is also worthy of its own magazine feature. With room for four vehicles and a wall of custom storage echoing that found in the home, it is a car enthusiast's dream.
