Last Listing description (November 2017)
Adjoining substantive, well-treed parkland high up in this sought-after suburb, fastidiously maintained real estate is common practice. An aesthete's dream, this remarkable home has been renovated with absolute artisanal precision & style. The quality of materials is of the essence, from the rendered external finish to the ultra-modern electrical inclusions.
When one can tear oneself away from the views across the leafy park & beyond to the Brindabellas, it could be timely to ponder over the attention to detail that's gone into transforming this superb property's house & garden. Stunning timber & glass doors separate the elegant entry from the formal lounge. The latter is replete with lush carpet, timber venetians & plasterboard recesses, ideal for ornaments. Combined with the spacious tiled dining area adjacent, open plan living is the order of the day. A large north-facing window allows sunlight to stream through as well as providing a delightful outlook over the beautiful back garden. Close by is a contemporary-styled kitchen with chamfered-edged, polyurethane white cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry & charcoal-hued benchtops. The Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, SMEG underbench oven & gas hot plates exemplify the quality.
As in the rest of the home, the bedrooms are well-proportioned, light & airy, include Roman blinds, new carpet & have generous built-in robes. Excitingly for the kids, 1 of the secondary bedrooms is characterised by its own dramatic Lego-influenced wall art. Ducted gas heating & wall-mounted air conditioning ensure ambient temperature control is sufficiently addressed.
Nor does the designer bathroom disappoint; spectacularly remodelled & with tiling to the ceiling, the stonework is especially memorable. Once again, the quality of the fixtures & fittings is apparent. Even the laundry has been renovated to a high standard. Decent bench space, ample storage & fine tiling are complemented by a magnificent back door, sporting 4 opaque glass panels. Soft muted white paintwork throughout adds to the allure.
Covered alfresco dining upon the spacious wraparound hardwood deck should also make you the envy of all your friends, especially when they note the park's presence, the artful barbecue space with power & the stunning mix of materials that make up the railings. Their envy won't stop there once they've noticed the lushly landscaped back garden; the high sandstone retaining walls, sinuous white eucalypt, verdant lawn & screening foliage paint a provocative picture together. Even the 2-car carport's brick paving has been laid in a Herringbone-style pattern. Behind it, a naturally-lit workshop/storeroom with power & ample off-street parking may be the delight of many.
Within walking distance of Copland College, Melba High & Mt Rogers community school, the kids' educational needs should be more than adequately covered residing in this locale. A plethora of additional amenities are available as well, including Canberra University, Belconnen Town Centre & Ginninderra Lake foreshores.
This home should suit a small family, professional couples or active retirees.
Do yourselves a favour, inspect this incredible property at your earliest convenience.
