Spectacular high-end luxury residence in premium Forrest location

Acclaimed in design magazines for its sophisticated aesthetic, this exquisite Canberra residence in Forrest has been seamlessly extended and artfully renovated through the collaborative efforts of interior designer Vanessa Hawes and architect Paul Tilse.
The residence is luxuriously sublime, meticulously retaining some of its original Art Deco features, yet deftly interwoven with premium quality contemporary materials, textural finishes, and eye-catching lighting. This includes Engineered Oak Herringbone timber flooring and the use of striking richly veined Calacatta Vagli Oro marble throughout the home. Flaunting glorious sightlines and sundrenched living spaces, practicality and versatility also runs through the ultra-stylish interiors.
In addition to the gourmet kitchen's custom curved bronze rangehood, Calacatta Vagli Oro marble benchtops and almond timber veneer custom joinery, there is copious storage, an integrated fridge/freezer and a huge butler's pantry with oversized sink, second dishwasher and Vintec bar fridge. The adjacent gathering area is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling steel framed double-glazed windows and doors and offers space for both dining and lounging. A marble bench seat runs the full width of the room, punctuated only by bespoke cabinetry that beautifully integrates the tv, while a modern gas fireplace lends ambience and warmth in winter months.
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.
