A Luxurious Family Retreat in the Heart of Narrabundah
Auction Location: On Site
Located within this tightly held and coveted tree-lined street, this elegant red-brick cottage has been tastefully renovated and extended encapsulating its original period charm and character. Set on a sprawling 1221sqm block, with 196sqm under roof line, this home features beautifully landscaped gardens and an inground solar-heated pool.
The home comprises four well-appointed bedrooms with an additional study or library space. Spotted natural gum timber floors highlight each room, with the second and third bedroom featuring pure wool carpet. 2.7m high ceilings are featured throughout with picture railings in all rooms. The main and second bedrooms are adorned with ceiling roses. Original 3-panel doors have a top panel of frosted Kosciusko glass, and the fitted chrome-plated brass door furniture continues to incorporate the history of the family home.
The extra-large main suite is a true parent's retreat, segregated from the rest of the house by a library/study that shares the northern light-filled garden view. The main suite is adorned with a walk-in robe and ensuite secluded behind glass-panelled, period wall cavity sliding doors and enjoys superb vistas of both the front and back garden.
The spacious main bathroom epitomises the character of the home featuring a walk-in shower recess, full-sized spa bath and extensive storage options all with elegant period bathroom furniture and tapware.
The new kitchen includes a double Gaggenau electric oven and gas cooktop with black granite benchtops, high-end tapware and sink, all serviced by a butler's pantry providing additional storage, an extra-large sink and a Miele dishwasher. The new internal laundry is exquisitely presented with a ceramic sink and extensive storage options and under-bench space for both washing machine and clothes dryer.
The open plan living and dining area is centred around the open gas fireplace for those cooler winter months. For seamless indoor-outdoor living the glass-panelled French doors open onto a covered timber deck bordered by a neatly manicured English Box hedge, sun soaked with its northerly aspect to the rear.
The perfect entertainers delight, the outdoor area leads to the split-level back garden displaying extensive landscaping, with authentic Canberra red brick pathways, a garden fountain, terraced dining area and pool. Privacy is ensured with screen plantings around the property border.
Additional features to the home include ducted heating, gas open fireplace, ducted vacuum system, back-to-base security alarm system and an extra-large remote controlled double garage with built-in storage. The pool cleaning utilities, solar blanket and winter cover allows for easy all year-round maintenance.
This meticulous home is set behind a high, luxurious green hedge, offering a superbly indulgent lifestyle within walking distance to Lake Burley Griffin, Griffith, Manuka, Kingston shops and the Fyshwick markets.
