Last Listing description (September 2020)
Spectacular, panoramic views over the north of Canberra to Black Mountain and the Brindabella ranges can be enjoyed from this stunning, beautifully crafted home, situated on one of the highest residential blocks in Canberra. The elevated, quiet location near the top of Gourgaud Street is just steps from bushland reserve. Timber and slate add warmth to the elegant, contemporary faade which stands out for its street appeal, amongst other stylish new homes.
Architecturally designed and completed in 2014, it showcases the finest finishes and high end inclusions, while fresh white dcor underlines the as-new presentation. Three separate living and outdoor areas promise a relaxed lifestyle where everyone has space.
The front terrace offers an introduction to the sublime views from this home. LED downlighting adds a sparkle here, and to the upper level deck. An oversized glass front door opens to the wide entry, where striking, Spotted Gum solid timber flooring creates a tantalising first impression, extending through to casual living areas.
To the left of the entry is the light filled, carpeted formal lounge. Corner windows capture views over the valley to the eastern ranges and south towards Black Mountain, few other homes could offer.
In the stunning open plan casual living area, beautiful timber flooring, full length windows, a decorative fireplace, huge island bench and the flow through to the sunny, covered entertaining area, are standout features. LED downlighting is installed throughout the home and all three outdoor living spaces, while two independent reverse cycle air conditioning units maintain comfort over the different levels. At the hub of informal living is the massive, stone island bench with waterfall edges, housing an integrated Ariston dishwasher. The impressive chef's kitchen is complete with a 900mm Ariston stainless steel oven, 900mm gas cooktop and rangehood, and a spacious walk-in pantry.
A wall of stacker doors opens to the sheltered entertaining space which overlooks a turfed play area. This fabulous entertaining area is equipped with its own kitchen, a stone benchtop with built-in barbeque and rangehood, a sink, dishwasher and fridge space.
Just a few steps lead up to three bright secondary bedrooms, all with built-in robes, a powder room and swish main bathroom, which features full height tiling, a spa bath and a rain shower.
A wide stairway leads to the light and airy upper level, offering a home theatre/rumpus, an upper deck and the superlative master suite! Corner windows in the master bedroom capture sensational views, this sweeping panorama at its most spectacular from the covered upper level terrace.
The modern laundry features a walk-in linen press and external door onto a sunny clothesline space. There is internal access to the large double garage which has storage and a work area with shelving.
Offering the ultimate setting for relaxing and entertaining, this gorgeous home offers quality throughout and a location that is unsurpassed!
