Last Listing description (September 2023)
This heritage home offers meticulously crafted details that create a luxurious living experience. The grand living room is filled with natural light and features a high mansard ceiling, clerestory windows, a central fireplace and private garden views, providing a peaceful retreat.
The brilliance of the architect, Penleigh Boyd, is evident in the way he subtly echoed the key characteristics of the original 1935 heritage cottage in his 1992 extension. These features include the repetition of the clever geometry of angled wings, each of which comprises a windowed hallway leading to a spacious main room flooded with light from windows on three sides. The angles of the front porch are also echoed in the shape of the living room and its two garden decks.
The kitchen is conveniently located with access from both front and back doors. It features durable celery-top pine benchtops and cork flooring over original cypress pine floorboards. The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances and an array of storage.
This three-winged layout of four bedrooms and two separate living rooms offers incredible flexibility, allowing for the separation of the parents and children's bedrooms if desired. The second living/sitting room would also work well as a fifth bedroom if wished. With its spacious and airy feel, this home is perfect for families or those who enjoy entertaining guests. The beautifully landscaped back garden, with its long waterlily pool and blossoming trees, is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day or to entertain friends and family. The outlook from every room offers entrancing views throughout the seasons, while the interior remains warm and sunny.
From this coveted location, it's an easy 10-minute walk west to Canberra's CBD, while one block east of Geerilong Gardens lies the grand avenue of Anzac Parade. The War Memorial is a 5-minute walk north, with trails up Mount Ainslie behind it. Reid offers schools, shopping and recreation, including Lake Burley Griffin. Nearby are Campbell shops and cafes, with Manuka and Kingston less than a 10-minute drive away. Parliament House and the Commonwealth offices in Barton are even closer.
This home is a true masterpiece offering a rare combination of elegance, comfort and functionality. It's an oasis of tranquillity that will make you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door.
