Offering incredible city views by day and night and a lifestyle-focused floorplan over four levels that leaves absolutely nothing out, this deceptively large contemporary residence in the heights of Campbell is an exceptional luxury find.
Exquisite formal lounge and dining rooms bookend the front entrance, but it is the casual spaces at the rear that usher the 'wow'. Full-height windows wrap the northerly aspects, offering 180-degree views from Mt Ainslie, across the city skyline to Black Mountain, providing gold-class views of major events including the balloon festival and fireworks shows.
Punctuating the foreground is a cerulean saltwater pool and spa equipped with Bluetooth capability and alongside is a covered entertaining area with outdoor kitchen. To the other side of the pool is a large, covered balcony that offers further entertainment options overlooking a productive orchard.
The open lounge and meals areas that provide access to the outdoors have bespoke walnut joinery, an integrated sound system and a stacked-marble surround to the feature gas fireplace. The home has been sustainably designed, incorporating energy-efficient features such as double glazing for improved insulation and noise reduction.
The phenomenal kitchen has been designed with large-scale hosting in mind. A 5m-long waterfall edged Carrara marble island has a multitude of high-end features. Miele appliances abound. A through-and-through butler's pantry- which easily accommodates two French door fridges- leads to a caterers' preparation area with stackable windows to the outdoor kitchen.
Downstairs, a simply enormous rumpus can be zoned to cater for a theatre set up, plus a tournament-level billiards table. The room has a full bar and access to a 1200-bottle wine cellar. Nearby is a home office with its own access and meeting space. A full quality bathroom services both downstairs areas.
On the lower-ground level are two large water tanks and several dry storage areas with one currently set up as a golf driving range.
All four bedrooms are upstairs and have high-end ensuites and elegant details, such as pelmets above the windows for a refined finish. The king-sized owners' retreat boasts the same spectacular views as the downstairs living area and benefits from a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and custom ensuite with rainfall shower, double vanity and soaker bathtub. There is also provision for a lift between floors.
Located perfectly with easy access to nature reserve that leads to Mt Pleasant walking trails, and within minutes of Parliament House, the Canberra CBD, Lake Burley Griffin and numerous well-regarded schools, this home is superbly connected yet tranquilly positioned.
