Beautifully manicured gardens and picturesque windows in the home’s classic front facade, set the tone for what’s found beyond the entry door and foyer. Magnificently positioned in one of the most desired suburbs, offering northerly sunshine to the living areas with views across Canberra to Parliament House this home is truly special.
The casual living areas center around the beautifully appointed Brazilian mahogany kitchen with natural Italian granite bench-tops and high-quality appliances. The kitchen flows easily to a large family and meals area and out through double glass doors to the balcony. The balcony with north facing views, perfect for those morning cups of tea, protected with the electric Vergola to be enjoyed all year round.
The formal dining room also opens onto the balcony and leads to the beautiful lounge with fireplace. The stunning full-length windows to both the front and rear garden add to the grandeur of this room.
There are five large bedrooms, including one that can be used as a home office or study. The magnificent master retreat upstairs has lovely pitched ceilings and a grand ensuite with spa with wide views to parliament house and beyond.
A double garage with space for workbenches and tools one garage having dual access so you can get that trailer into the backyard if needed. A charming walk through Cellar and second pantry lead to the staircase back upstairs. This house has new carpets throughout and has been recently painted, ready for the next family to move in and set their roots down.
Mermaid St offers up the best in size, space and versatility, whilst benefitting from a lovely northern aspect to the rear that bathe the large living areas and bedrooms in natural light. Every window in this house could be a postcard, whether it’s of the beautiful manicured gardens or the views to the parliament house and black mountain beyond, you will be impressed.
