Hidden within a peaceful Kalorama setting and bordered by the lush embrace of neighbouring national parkland, 'Dogwood' is one of those rare properties where architecture, nature and lifestyle meet with effortless grace. Set across nearly an acre (3373m² approx.) of park-like gardens, this architecturally designed residence unfolds over four striking levels, blending glass, timber and feature brickwork into a design that feels both grounded and expansive.
From the moment you arrive, the setting feels cathartic. Meandering garden paths wind past tranquil ponds, expansive paved patios invite long lunches beneath the trees, and carefully curated plantings create a sense of privacy that feels worlds away from everyday bustle. A hidden sauna and a quiet meditation hut add an extra layer of retreat-like calm, while the ultra-private position ensures birdsong and rustling leaves become the daily soundtrack.
Inside, the home reveals a clever split-level layout that offers flexibility for growing families or those who love to entertain. Living zones flow generously across the levels, creating natural pockets to gather, relax or escape including a media room, home office and relaxation space. At the heart of it all, a dramatic central domain with soaring double-height ceilings and sleek timber floors sets the tone. The kitchen anchors the home beautifully, with repolished granite benchtops, a glass splashback and De Dietrich appliances including an induction cooktop and wall oven.
The central dining area encourages connection, while an elevated living room with fireplace offers tranquil views across the gardens and ponds below.
Four bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged across upper and lower levels, creating separation and privacy when needed. The main suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a beautifully renovated walk-in robe featuring custom cabinetry and an elegant ensuite with full-height tiling, rain and double shower heads, heated towel rail and backlit vanity cabinet. Step outside to a private patio where the gentle sounds of water from the nearby pond create the perfect start or end to the day.
Practical upgrades add modern comfort to the timeless design, including LED lighting throughout, quality wool carpets, fibre-to-the-premises NBN, a new gas hot water system, new built-in microwave and remote garage door. A premium solar system with 23 panels and a SolarEdge Energy Bank battery delivers full backup capability and impressive energy efficiency.
Completing the picture are excellent parking and workspace options with a double garage, double carport and a glass-framed workshop/potting shed - ideal for creatives, tinkering or home-based pursuits.
Here, architecture and landscape move in harmony, creating a home that feels immersive, inspiring and wonderfully peaceful.
