Discreetly positioned in a coveted cul-de-sac, 19 Glasgow Place is a refined and enlarged adaptation of a traditional double brick home, hand built in 1966. The current custodians of nearly three decades have lovingly modernised and contemporised it inside and out while retaining its mid-century character with a substantial yet sympathetic architecturally designed extension and renovation to bolster the accommodating floor plan to over 188m2 of internal living plus exceptional garaging, workshop, and storage space.
Set on the high side of this quiet street, with sweeping views across the Woden Valley to the Brindabella Mountains, the home boasts a prolific Wysteria vine emboldening the front facade with a mass of purple blooms and welcoming guests into a light filled and spacious entrance. A formal lounge and dining room that capture the stunning mountain views through traditional French casement windows are accentuated by a romantic open fireplace with sandstone book-leaf hearth and built-in chimney flue. The kitchen, completely transformed with the renovation, is inspired by French Provincial influences and is fitted with high-end European appliances and an openable skylight.
From here the design flows effortlessly across stunning front-to-back blackbutt hardwood floors through a sunlit meal area to a striking family room, accentuated by matching blackbutt joinery, a vaulted ceiling and a cascade of natural light due to the northerly orientation. Down a wide hallway to the bedroom wing, in which each room has generous proportions and built-in wardrobes. An oversized master suite takes full advantage of the elevated outlook and boasts its own contemporary ensuite, completely and tastefully renovated along with the additional bathroom.
The 'spare no expense' approach taken to enhancing this bespoke home extends to the garden and its surrounds. Based on a design by acclaimed landscape architects Harris Hobbs, the established gardens feature a variety of mature deciduous trees, impressive bluestone granite retaining walls front and back, and a below ground watering system and large water tank at the back. Privacy is guaranteed in the numerous 'garden rooms,' with sunny and shady spots always available, and the Wysteria covered pergola, with white lantern blossoms, provides the perfect backdrop for alfresco entertaining. Massive storage capacity, the double automatic garaging and brick accentuated driveway, and ample off-street parking will cater to a growing family. Just one door down are the recreational delights of Red Hill Nature Reserve, an idyllic natural playground of walking trails and open spaces filled with native wildlife.
