Situated in a prime Canberra location, in the adored suburb of O'Connor, a grand opportunity in this tightly held area makes itself present at 155 Wattle Street. The home, which has been meticulously curated by the current owners since 1999 is now ready for a new family to love. About the home.The first time you experience a storm roll in from the private main suite balcony, you'll immediately fall in love with the home and everything else it has to offer. Fresh Spring rain will bring out the beautiful scents from the picturesque garden which you would find hard to re-create over a lifetime.The unspoiled views across Canberra and the luscious gardens which create a world unto itself were just some of the reasons the current owners purchased the home. Seeing these original features, an instant decision was made. The current owners knew this was the perfect opportunity to extend and cater for the modern family. Once purchased, they appointed Terry Ring architects to design new features and extensions of the home which were perfected over five years. The renovations were nothing short of precise and deliberate. The home makes the most of the sun's movements throughout the seasons celebrating natural light from all aspects and featuring Australian timber throughout. The expansion and extension was designed to create a seamless flow through each spacious area.Now, the home makes use of every space within its huge 392sqm, featuring multiple living areas for the whole family to enjoy. Containing four large bedrooms plus a study, the home offers ample room for all. The master suite is huge, its own private oasis with spacious walk-in-robe, huge ensuite and private balcony. The ensuite features a large double shower and luxurious spa bath with bi-fold windows, immersing you in nature. The private balcony captures views right across Canberra from Mt Ainslie, down to Woden valley. The two additional downstairs bathrooms are also renovated, and service the remaining three bedrooms and cater for family and guests. The heart of the home is a large kitchen, updated in 2004 with an abundance of storage and space, including a massive island bench for social events and meal preparation. It's surrounded by family, dining and living areas and allows easy access for alfresco dining in the courtyard and garden areas. The home offers an abundance of storage and there are a few hidden secrets throughout, including a wine cellar, workshop and refurbished garage that presents as a hobby room - the options are endless. The garden is one that must be seen to be believed, a perfect balance of nature and entertaining areas makes itself apparent with multiple areas to enjoy including alfresco dining, paved area with built in pizza oven and spectacular views, veggie garden beds and open green spaces. An absolute favourite is the commanding presence of the huge Palm tree.O'Connor Since its inception in Canberra, O'Connor's inner north placement has been a desired location for residents and hospitality venues alike.
