32 Arthur Cir, Forrest is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1939. The property has a land size of 1351m2 and floor size of 215m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2016.
Set behind automated gates in prestigious Forrest, this exquisitely reimagined 1938 residence is luxuriously appointed with premium materials and refined finishes throughout. Picturesque front gardens blooming with roses frame the faade, with graceful steps leading up to the entry, setting a grand first impression. Substantial renovations have blended the home's original character with the highest level of modern craftsmanship. Originally built for Canberra's Chief Forester, Dr Maxwell Jacobs, the home continues to be part of the city's progressive fabric, with the shortest walk to Manuka for a morning coffee, and close to Collins Park, the National Triangle, and both Grammar schools.
Every element of this home has been meticulously considered and elevated to another level exuding sheer luxury - from the opulent main bedroom suite with its boutique custom dressing room and indulgent marble ensuite, to the elegant formal lounge with an original wood fireplace featuring limestone and marble surround, complete with full-height bespoke wine display joinery. A second living area provides further versatility for relaxation or entertaining overlooking the pool, and the home's wet bar sink is perfectly placed in the dining area, uniformed with premium materials also found in the showpiece kitchen of exceptional quality and style, with high-end appliances, striking hand selected feature marble benchtop, and brushed brass sink, fittings and features. Designer brass light fittings also correspond beautifully with the gold-hued finishes. Quality new recycled timber floors, and new wool carpet flow throughout, reinforcing the sense of sophistication that define the luxury feeling of the home. This refining aesthetic and seamless connection leads to a resort-style outdoor living and dining area. Here, a pavilion draped in soft curtains, gleaming pool, and dedicated firepit create a private retreat. An added unexpected bonus is the loft and its living space accessed via the garage or via the attic doors on the upper level, providing a serene creative space, reading nook, studio or work-from-home sanctuary. Its also an enchanting space that doubles as the perfect kids dream playroom or imaginative hideway.
A sophisticated residence of elegance and timeless distinction, perfectly positioned in the heart of Forrest amid some of Canberra's most prestigious homes.
