With panoramic views from its prized north-east facing and elevated position, on a quiet loop street adjacent a nature reserve, this exceptional home embraces the local environment through all seasons. This uplifting Willemsen residence has been internally redesigned to incorporate contemporary family living whilst retaining the architecture and light for which the Canberra designer and builder is renown.
The upper level is the home's crowning glory – a large lounge room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible 270-degree views from Issacs Ridge to the Telstra Tower and beyond. Spend mesmerising hours here watching the changing weather and rhythm of the day as the sun moves across the sky.
Immediately opposite is the splendid main bedroom parents retreat suite, which benefits from the same glorious views, including a luxe ensuite and spacious walk-in robe.
The entry level of the split floorplan has an open and inviting kitchen, family and meals area, with blue sky views to the north and bushland views to the south. It's a family-friendly space that flows to a covered entertainment area which in turn leads out to a sunny heated pool surrounded by a Travertine terrace and gardens.
On the lower level a cantilevered deck with glass balustrade offers an airy entertainment space with captivating scenery as a backdrop. This level also has a living room with stacking doors, family bathroom, laundry and three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are king-sized, one with a covered balcony and its own entrance that could serve as a wonderful home office.
The home is surrounded by low maintenance gardens, mature hedges and a terraced backyard. It also offers easy access to scenic trails that meander through Farrer and Isaacs Ridges.
Living here is a convenient 10-minute walk away from Farrer Primary School, and Farrer shops including local café icon Fox and Bow. A short drive or ride to several secondary schools and to Southlands Shopping Centre for a variety of popular Café's and shops. Also well positioned for services such as Canberra Hospital and the Woden Town Centre.
This unique Willemsen home is a gem for living in the highly sought after Farrer area.
