Last Listing description (December 2018)

In the late 19th & early 20th centuries, Federation-style architecture was a symbol of Australia's budding national identity. As architects & builders fused influences from France, Britain & America, they created a uniquely Australian style less formal than its Victorian predecessors & far better suited to the country's diverse climate conditions. The verandah was arguably the most important feature of a Federation home it was a welcoming entrance for visitors & an outdoor living space for residents.
This classic building style underwent a resurgence in Canberra's 1990's people began to embrace the nuanced detail & artisanal workmanship of this exciting era hence 13 Mailey Retreat, created by its owner-builder for his wife & burgeoning young family. For admirers of this style, this charismatic property depicts charm & character in the most intrinsic way. Its pillared entrance, complementary landscaping, paved brick driveway, gablet roof, finials, fretwork & timber-posted verandah sets a scene of rousing discovery.
Crossing the threshold, delight in the artfulness of the formal entry - the beautiful cedar door with its neighbouring side panels & ornate leadlight windows, detailed wall panelling, timber valances connecting crafted turned posts, stained oak skirting, porcelain door knobs & a gloriously high ceiling. To the left a north-oriented study or 4th bedroom awaits, & to the right the formal dining room with vintage wall lamps & colonial-style window overlooks the front verandah & grounds. Adjoining it, the elegant sunken lounge is of old-fashioned proportions very spacious with lush carpet, drapes & warming gas fireplace adorned by an oak mantlepiece, brick surround & hearth. Sliding doors lead onto the entrancing outdoor entertaining area beyond.

The well-maintained Tasmanian oak kitchen is deceptively large. In excellent condition, it offers ample bench & cupboard space, 5-burner gas hot plates, updated brand name wall oven & dishwasher. Subway-style splash backs & timber-look flooring marry well with the theme. Handily, a meals area adjoins it & steps down to a spacious, carpeted family room. A magnificent flowering rhododendron & towering tree fern set within a sheltered courtyard may be seen from this room; additional sliding doors provide access to the aforementioned outdoor space.
Tucked away, the segregated main bedroom nestles at the rear of the dwelling, revealing hilltop views. It has its own split-system air conditioning, intercom, reconfigured walk-in robe & recently renovated ensuite of contemporary hotel suite standard. In another wing, the superb main bathroom with deep bathtub underwent a similarly stylish make-over 2 years' ago. 2 more roomy bedrooms with their own vistas are situated close by. If wishing to work from home, the carpeted office secluded at the rear of the double garage could be an absolute boon - especially with dual access conveniently avoiding the main residence.
Much effort over the years has gone into the formation of the back garden & outdoor entertaining area, & it's a resounding success! Perfect for a late afternoon glass of wine to enjoy the sunsets, it must be a magnet for outdoors-loving people. Flocks of black cockatoos & small mobs of kangaroos may be spied feeding in the bushland nearby. The expansive al fresco space is protected from the elements by a high gabled roof & awnings; herringbone red-brick paving forms the base & painted lattice supports manicured Virginia creeper. Earthy stone steps flanked by conifers lead down to the lower garden where verdant lawn is presided over by a tall Manchurian pear & fruit-bearing apricot tree. Well-grown photinia hedging ensures privacy - & gravel pathways, stone retaining walls, profuse groundcover, raised veggie garden beds & a large garden shed completes the picture.
Gordon Ridge, a sought-after enclave bordering Bonython, is within walking distance of the Murrumbidgee River corridor. Surrounded by Mt Stranger's large swathes of elevated natural bushland, the idyllic location of this fine property may make you the envy of all your friends. Don't hesitate make the first step to a more enriched life today.
