Griffith ACT 2603

Other repurposed pieces, including a colonial French door, battleship task lights, a barn door and Afghani tiles intermingle with polished concrete floors and top-of-the-line appliances, providing a masterclass on how to flawlessly meld past and present.
Multiple sash windows, picture rails and a hand-carved door in the family room are focal points for the open and inviting living spaces. This room, along with the adjacent meals area and kitchen, offers a unified space for household life.
The distinctive kitchen with its retrofitted AGA stove, 1950s Czech dressmaker's table for an island bench and glorious backdrop of a grapevine-clad pergola beside the cerulean pool brings the romance of a Tuscan farmhouse to life.
The home's formal spaces are equally mesmerising. A formal lounge has a fireplace flanked by full-height interior windows while a dedicated office has built-in cabinetry and its own fireplace.
Upstairs, the airy master also has a fireplace, walk-through wardrobe and that delightful ensuite. Two additional breezy bedrooms include one with a Juliet balcony and fireplace. Both are serviced by a family bathroom with dual sinks.
A fourth bedroom downstairs has the use of a full bathroom. Guests may use separate powder room on this level.
Outside, Canberra brick pavers and a walled garden envelope the enchanting pool and self-contained studio which continues the provincial theme thanks to exposed beams and a sweet loft bedroom.
Located in one of Canberra's most prestigious and historic streets in walking distance of renowned schools, boutique shopping, dining and glorious parklands, this is an unprecedented opportunity to purchase a standout property.
