Light and airy and generously proportioned throughout, the floorplan offers great flexibility for a growing family looking for segregated spaces. The palatial formal and sitting dining rooms feature a solid raked cedar ceiling, magnificent picture windows and are separated by a feature brick fireplace. The huge solid timber and stone kitchen features quality appliances and separates the formal living areas from the expansive informal living room, which overlooks the leafy outdoor entertaining courtyard.

The segregated master suite enjoys a walk through robe, ensuite bathroom and a separate dressing room/ nursery. The accommodation wing consists of an additional three bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition there is a study/ music room off the informal living area and an office space at the front of the home, that could be utilised as a rumps/ games room. Most rooms enjoy a lovely relationship to the richly planted garden, or sweeping views. Other features include 18 roof mounted solar panels, in slab heating, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, striking architectural features and excellent storage. Located in a leafy, tightly held pocket of Garran, it is ideally positioned close to local schools, shops, bushland and arterial roads.

1987 Accent Homes extended the home to a plan drawn up by Halliday Hill and Associates. This extended the family room and constructed a new side entrance.
2003 the kitchen bathrooms and laundry were upgraded.
2009 Enviro Friendly installed a Sharp 3.15KW Grid Connect Solar power system (18 Panels). Surprisingly the system not only contributed significantly to the power bill but provided a noticeable difference to summer and winter temperatures in the sitting and dining rooms, where the solar panels cover the roof.
Solar system has a plan until 2029-30 at a 50 cent rebate.
2015 the gas hot water system was replaced with a Rheem solar system and the gas was turned off at the mains
2018 the roof was restored
2019 the ensuite bathroom was replaced by Re Seal Bathrooms
2019 the Solar System Inverter was replaced
