You simply can't miss a property that's been lovingly coaxed from its bare block beginnings, through to being an established way of life.

Cordoned off from the rest of the world by cushioning rows of mature trees and beautifully established gardens, 4 Santa Gertrudis Place has layer upon layer of lovingly compiled dignity.

The 335m2 split-level home's list of features begins with a fully segregated 39m2 master suite with a walk-thru robe/dressing space and totally indulgent ensuite. The 3 secondary bedrooms, include 2 that share the home's rear section with the beautifully appointed bathroom. Obviously, this is an ideal design scenario If you have teenagers, or just like to have stay-over guests for a local restaurant and winery sampling weekend.

The home's kitchen is a delightfully fluid expression of good taste and practical design. Mellow stone bench tops, glossy red splashbacks, excellent inclusions, and tons of storage all perfectly merge into one welcoming space to prep the Sunday meals for family and friends.

Perfectly designed for a larger family group, the home has 3 internal living areas that all connect to the outdoors. In addition to the kitchen/dining that leads to the covered alfresco, there's a formal lounge that flows out to the home's front view terrace, and a rumpus room with double door connection to the northern alfresco patio.

The 2.154ac block is essentially an effervescent patchwork of developed gardens and lawns.

If you're a keen gardener you'll love the countless varieties of ornamental trees, shrubs and producing fruit trees.

Location wise, 4 Santa Gertrudis is sited in a quiet cul-de-sac in Merryville Estate just meters away from a residents' open recreation area, and 25 minutes from Canberra.

Essentially, this a truly executive family property with its own market leading identity; there isn't another like it.
