Stately and elegantly poised on Canberra's prestige 'golden mile' on a semi circle drive, this stunning classic Colonial style home suggests a genteel way of life couched in refined soirees and high teas, but the interiors are regal with classy, premium finishes and actually firmly anchored in the 21st century.
The stylish new quality kitchen has minimalist high-gloss cabinetry offset by black granite benchtops. A range of premium appliances include a deluxe Belling 110cm induction cooking range, comprising 4 independent ovens and a 5-zone induction hob making entertaining a pleasure and light work, with a full-width stackable window for the ease of food and drink delivery to guests to the alfresco entertaining space.
It's on this elevated terrace that the home's true asset becomes apparent. Sweeping north-easterly views take in the blue of the sky, delineated from the blue of the inground pool surrounded by a ribbon of greenery. A wraparound glass balustrade ensures you won't miss a moment of the changing scenery.
If you need a change from eating outside, a casual, plus formal dining space inside provide additional options. Both still take advantage of the fabulous view. The immense lounge adjacent could be zoned for two sitting areas either side of the standout cream marble fireplace.
One of the home's two master suites is peacefully cocooned away in the bedroom wing and features a lovely bay window, built-in wardrobes and updated ensuite. A second of three bedrooms on this level also boasts a bay window with garden views and has access to a family bathroom with sunken bathtub.
Downstairs, a self-contained flat offers a master bedroom with ensuite plus an additional king-sized bedroom. A kitchenette, dining space and enclosed sunroom make this an incredibly flexible area for extended family or an au pair.
Enjoy this highly desirable and exclusive location with ideal convenient access to elite schools, boutique shopping, walking trails and commuter routes.
