Occasionally, an outstanding home comes on the market that perfectly represents every wonderful aspect of the Canberra lifestyle.
Surrounded by gardens and set in a private, elevated pocket of Bruce backing the Gossan Hill Nature Reserve, the split-level home at number 8 showcases Bush Capital living at its best with a location that provides your first 'wow' moment. This property is one of only a few that has direct gate access to the reserve.
Step into a sunken formal lounge off the entry and experience your second wow. Hardwood floors, a soaring raked ceiling with timber beams and triple-aspect windows that show nothing but green gardens give this space both a sense of peacefulness and a touch of panache.
The raked ceilings carry through to the upper-level dining room, which has access to the rear deck overlooking the pergola-clad alfresco dining space and expansive gardens. There's also a family/meals space on this level that opens to the front deck and provides incredible unobstructed mountain views.
Central to it all is a sleek kitchen with oversized tumble-edged subway-tile backsplash, stone benchtops, a hidden utility cupboard, microwave niche and stainless-steel appliances that include a gas cooktop.
Rounding out the interior spaces are glamorous bathrooms with rain-head showers including the ensuite to the spacious master which also features a wonderful walk-in wardrobe and access to the rear deck.
While you could be forgiven for thinking you're in a luxury bushland retreat here, the reality is that you're an easy walk here to Aranda (primary schools and Two Before Ten), Jamison shops, Radford College, the University of Canberra, CIT Bruce, Calvary John James, CISAC, Belconnen Town Centre and Lake Ginninderra.
It's the lifestyle choice that would be the envy of many.
This property will go to auction on site on Thursday, 14th April at 5.00pm. Please contact Phyllis regarding the registration process.
