Last Listing description (November 2018)
Located on the high side of one of Garran's most desirable streets proudly sits this gracious family home that offers commanding views of the Brindabella Mountains.
The owners have drawn on their years of travel to create a versatile floor plan for the modern family who love to entertain.
Their brief to the architect was to create open spaces while still maintaining privacy for their growing family. The finished product is a thoughtfully extended family home that has been renovated to the highest standards. It captures the magnificent views and relates well to the private landscaped gardens.
The four separate living areas are all spacious and light-filled. They include an elegant lounge room which features coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace, and opens onto the front terrace at one end and into the banquet-size dining room at the other. There is also a sunny north-facing sitting room with direct access to the courtyard and garden.
The open-plan kitchen and family room has a north-easterly aspect and flows seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining areas and the landscaped private back garden. The kitchen is well-appointed and features stone benchtops, ample storage and is the perfect spot to watch the family play.
To the left of the substantial entry hall are the three secondary double bedrooms. One of the three is extremely spacious and includes a walk-thru robe, ensuite and French doors to the back garden. The two other bedrooms feature bay windows and built-in robes. These bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom.
Tucked away at the rear of the home is the segregated master suite. It opens onto the garden through north-facing French doors and also offers a walk-in robe and large ensuite with spa bath.
Neutral tones and high-quality fixtures and fittings have been used throughout including duet blinds, curtains, and pelmets, plush carpet, tiled floors, built-in cabinetry and stone bench-tops. Other features include ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, in-floor heating to the three bathrooms, new insulation throughout, a security system, an automatic watering system and a double garage with internal access. An added bonus is the cellar and an abundance or storage both inside and out.
Surrounded by mature landscaped gardens and ideally located close to bushland this property is perfect for those wanting quality, space and easy-care living in a peaceful location. The home is located within close proximity to excellent schools, transport, local shops, and medical facilities.
