Exceptional Willemsen residence with resort-style pool and exquisite gardens

Set on a beautifully manicured 1543sqm parcel of land in a coveted, but tightly held location in Forrest, this beautiful residence provides a generational opportunity for those seeking the pinnacle of refined living. A classic Willemsen design - the residence promises an unparalleled lifestyle.
Willemsen converted the original cottage into a dream home and the quality of his enterprise remains in enduring detail. The main home's floorplan has been designed for entertaining and capturing picturesque pool or garden views.
Enhancing Willemsen's vision is a tapestry of beauty through spectacular parterre-inspired gardens which incorporate multiple entertainers' courtyards and provide a signature entrance to the impressive portico and beyond that, to the grand marble-tiled foyer. Here, your gaze is immediately drawn past the alfresco terrace to a unique in-ground lap pool, with two arms separate by a central circle. With the press of a button the pool transforms from a stunning water feature to a resort style pool with waterfall and aerial fountains that will be a hit with kids and adults alike.
Tucked behind the pool is an architecturally glamorous self-contained studio, currently set up as a gymnasium, and its curved walls of full-length glass maximising the pool views.
The views are a backdrop to the formal lounge where a traditional open fireplace invites comfortable, cool-weather conversation into the evenings. Views are also a hallmark of the formal generous dining room, and the oversized informal family and meals space where a welcoming two-way fireplace again provides winter warmth.
The adjacent kitchen is a culinary dream. Its walnut timber cabinetry, honed-marble benchtops, quality appliances, walk-through panty and sunny bay window looking over the pool make it a vibrant cooking and gathering space.
This level also boasts a generous guest bedroom with luxe ensuite, a separate guest powder room, a music room adorned with recessed ceiling, a wine room, and an exceptional den/office off the front entry which has bespoke bookcases and a gas fireplace, perfect for quiet reflection time.
The home's far wing is dedicated to the primary suite which includes a vast skylit walk-in wardrobe and dressing room and a unique luxury ensuite with marble, dual-sided vanities, an oversized shower and sunken spa bath.
Upstairs is a mezzanine-level rumpus with spectacular views while the upper level has two queen-size bedrooms with generous built-in wardrobes. A huge two-way family bathroom services both bedrooms.
Perfectly situated near numerous attractions and services, this residence is conveniently close to esteemed Canberra schools, Parliament House, and the Parliamentary Triangle. Residents can also enjoy easy access to Manuka, Kingston, Barton, Red Hill Nature Reserve, and various shopping precincts, including Deakin, all just a short drive from the CBD.
