Last Listing description (November 2020)

This striking new architect designed home has recently been completed. Just a stroll from bushland reserve on Mt. Majura and a light rail stop, it is situated in a superb location, with much regeneration underway in this early Canberra suburb.

Crisp professional landscaping right around the home complements the incredible contemporary faade with its steeply pitched roof and graceful proportions, a new home which really stands out. It is exceptional not only in its design, but also for innovative inclusions, and the uncompromising quality of the high end finishes throughout, which include double glazing.

Stepping into the wide entry and spectacular open plan living area, the high ceilings are what first capture the attention, and feature throughout the home. Stunning, Victorian Ash solid timber flooring flows from the entry into living areas.

With the benefit of a separate entrance, a home office is positioned at the front of the residence, and a powder room is adjacent.

An incredible expanse of stone benchtop is showcased in the huge chef's kitchen, and above is an array of award winning, pendant light fittings. An impressive 900 mm stainless steel Omega oven with a five burner gas cooktop is a standout, and there is a dishwasher, double sink and a butler's pantry. The Italian splashback tiles are a newly released design and drawers are soft close.

With room to accommodate the largest setting, the dining area flows into a family room or lounge to one side, and continues into a massive second living area. A wall of sliding glass doors from each opens onto a covered pavilion, with a ceiling of the same height and LED downlighting.

Living areas and pavilions are designed to embrace the north aspect and the serene, private outlook over gardens and beyond, to a stand of magnificent established pine trees, creating an elegant setting for relaxing and entertaining on any scale!

The sumptuous master suite offers deep plush carpet and walk-through robes, leading to a swish ensuite. This features an extra-large shower and dual vanities. From the generously proportioned room, a wall of sliding glass doors open onto a second garden terrace.

Second, third and fourth bedrooms all feature built-in robes and quality carpet, while the oversized second bedroom overlooks the garden. The magnificent main bathroom has a luxurious feel, the walls finished in full height tiling, and offers a deep bath, an extra-large shower with rain shower head, and a separate powder room.
Hallway storage is endless, with a double linen press built to the full height of the wall. Two ducted reverse cycle air conditioning systems independently serve living areas and bedrooms.The large laundry features a wall of built-in storage and there is internal access to the double garage, equipped with a panel lift door.

Delights of living in this location are many! It is a stroll to Watson for coffee, fresh pastries and bread, and to the Farmers' Markets. Majura Primary, which offers the Stephanie Alexander garden program, is only a short walk. Enjoy the many nature trails around Mt. Majura, and of course a light rail stop is close by for a smooth, rapid trip into the City centre!
