Last Listing description (December 2016)

'Abelia', which is situated on a magnificent 3,361sqm parcel of land, was built in 2000 by one of Canberra's old school builders with a quality that is rarely replicated today. This impressive home enjoys formal and informal living areas enhanced by an abundance of light. With the enchanting design of the surrounding gardens, which have been open for charity on several occasions, 'Abelia' would provide a private world of enjoyment for any family wanting a forever home.
The free flowing interiors of this residence make it ideal for effortless indoor and outdoor entertaining. There are three bedrooms upstairs each with a walk-in robe. This second level, which includes a bathroom and a sunny sitting room, would suit a growing family as it provides a separate space for a younger generation to enjoy. On the ground floor there is a master bedroom with ensuite and a walk-in robe. A generously sized study with ample space for a home office is adjacent to the entry. On the ground floor there is also a fifth bedroom, next to the main bathroom, which could alternatively serve as a second study. Network cable connects the second floor bedrooms with the fifth bedroom and the study.
The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, generous cupboard space, modern appliances and superb Stone Italiana bench tops which are embedded with lapis lazuli and other semiprecious stones.
