*Auction will be live-streamed on the Blackshaw Belconnen Facebook page 10am Saturday 28th March (note: the property will not be open to the public & the auction can only be viewed via Facebook)* ____ Behind its secluded facade, 5 Carey Place is a private and character-filled sanctuary, offering magnificent panoramic views from West Belconnen to Gungahlin. Positioned on the largest residential block in Melba, this impressive 2,555m2 private battle-axe block provides more space than you could ever dream of, coupled with a multitude of living spaces and an incredible 5 bedrooms. With its solar-passive design, this home is truly one-of-a-kind, captivating the imagination from the moment you walk through the front door. Embodying a sense of calmness and stability as the soft wood tones compliment the tranquil colour scheme, this residence offers a distinctive sense of space and sophistication. Stepping out onto the brand new spotted gum deck, you will appreciate a staggering and uninterrupted 180-degree view of Canberra, taking in the sights of Mount Stromlo to Black Mountain and out towards Gungahlin. Double-glazed windows span the front upper level of the home and provide beautiful light-filled picturesque views from all living areas, including the spacious lounge room and large dining room, while the kitchen has views across an enormous rear yard to Mount Rogers reserve. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality appliances, including a stainless steel Miele 5-burner gas cooktop and a generous butler's pantry providing extra space for storage and food preparation. Completing the main level of the home is the airy master suite, complete with ensuite, built-in robes and vanity, along with bedrooms two and three both with built-in robes, a separate study and the fully renovated main bathroom. Bedrooms four and five are extra large in size and sit comfortably on the lower level, both equipped with split system air-conditioners and their own private external access, making these versatile spaces ideal for a home office or studio. If that isn't enough, there is also a spacious one-bedroom flat on the downstairs level, ideal for a teenager's retreat, guest house or rental opportunity - the options are endless! Highlights of the flat include a spacious living area, full-sized kitchen, laundry, a large bedroom, immaculate bathroom, built-in robes and two reverse-cycle split systems. There is the ability to section-off this area from the remainder of the home, or even open up the walls from bedrooms four and five to convert the space into a mega studio/home office. Adding value to the already inspiring floorplan is under house storage, complete with a wine cellar, electricity and water - the ultimate spot to brew your own beer, participate in Passata day, or store tools and start your latest DIY project in the fitted-out workshop. This extensively large block offers plenty of space for potential extensions or even a pool, while still offering a voluminous grassed area for children and pets to play. The gardens have been fastidiously maintained by the current owners and present extremely well.
