Stepping inside you will be amazed by the generous proportions of the welcoming entry, which sets the tone for the entire home. Double glass doors open into the gracious formal lounge and dining room. This spacious, light filled and peaceful room has high ceilings and a detailed cornice. The large front window is framed by custom made drapes and takes in the view over treetops from the elevated location. Again double glass doors lead to the light and airy informal living area, comprising meals, kitchen and large family room, all enjoying an outlook over the neatly organised rear garden and studio to the surrounding hills, with glimpses of Belconnen town centre. The updated, quality timber kitchen features a De Longhi glass cooktop, Fisher & Paykel oven, grill, a stainless steel dishwasher and many cupboards. The family room opens to the rear deck, covered with a pergola.
The proportions of the entry are reflected in the wide hallway leading to spacious bedrooms, which all have plenty of natural light and are equipped with built-in robes. The master bedroom offers two built-in robes and an ensuite.
The well presented main bathroom has a bath, shower, bidet and a separate w/c. Hydronic heating ensures winter comfort throughout the home, while the double brick construction and high ceilings assist in maintaining summer cool.
An inviting level area at the back of the home, featuring decorative stonework, would be well suited to entertaining. The landscaped rear garden is the setting for a large brick garage, with internal access to an astonishingly spacious three room studio, comprising a living area with kitchen bench, two other rooms, bathroom and laundry area. As with the floorplan in the house itself, every room is oversized.
The feature stonework enclosing the large double garage under the home continues around to the rear, where under-house storage rooms are situated on both sides. On the left, a store room leads under the house. A workshop on the right hand side opens to a cool, purpose built wine cellar.
Rows of veggie plantings cover much of the richly productive rear garden, which also features a laden cherry tree, fig, hazelnut, plum, peach, apricot, nectarine and lemon. An inviting paved area surrounding a wood fired barbeque is sheltered beneath a grapevine covered pergola, creating an intimate outdoor area, full of character.
The location is excellent, within one of thriving Belconnen's most sought after suburbs and superbly convenient, opposite Weetangera Primary and just metres from the local shops. Belconnen High School, the Jamison centre and Hawker shops are within easy reach as is Belconnen Mall itself.
This cherished family home offers exceptionally spacious living and is offered for sale for the first time in thirty years. Together with added value of a remarkable studio and extensive under house storage and cellaring, this outstanding and unique property is certain to attract keen interest. An absolute pleasure to inspect, be sure to take this rare opportunity to consider making it your own!
