Beautifully-updated home on a massive block in Woden Valley is kind of a big deal

This Torrens home is kind of a big deal: starting with the 1200sqm block it's located on, and the fact it's right next to Mount Taylor Nature Reserve.

And then there’s the home itself.

The four-bedroom residence (with the opportunity for a fifth bedroom) at 99 Gouger Street, Torrens, has been fully renovated to make the interior as appealing as its scenic surrounds.

LJ Hooker Woden/Weston licensed agent Jane Macken and sales consultant Emma Robertson are searching for a new family to call the spacious south-side retreat their own.

“I’ve been joking that my birthday’s coming up because there’s just so much room to host family or friends over for any sort of entertaining,” Emma says.

“It’s fitting for such a family-friendly home and floorplan to have a large amount of outdoor space to cater for those entertaining needs too.”

The backyard features a covered deck for entertaining; overlooking a large, grassed space with feature benches and a custom cubby house framed by easy-care landscaping.

“There’s so much room for children to play, but if you want to take it a step further and head out into the nature reserve, then you can do so with just a few steps," Emma says.

The home’s interior is “high class and high quality” with lots of space to do all the family things and the comfort of ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling and double-glazed windows.

According to Emma: “You’ll be blown away by how large the living and dining area is”.

The area adjoins the kitchen with an imposing Caesarstone island bench, electric cooktop, double integrated oven, dishwasher and custom walk-in pantry offering lots of storage. Throw in the views and access to the backyard, and home chefs are gifted with the perfect backdrop for cooking and entertaining.

North-facing views towards Black Mountain at the front of the home can be enjoyed from a second light-filled formal living area, a front porch and the bedrooms.

The lower ground floor features a versatile third entertaining rumpus space with ensuite, allowing it to be used as a fifth bedroom or for other purposes.

“It could be used as guest accommodation or as a home office or home business as it does have its own private external access,” Emma explains.

A study and laundry, both with built-in cabinetry and the home’s four dedicated bedrooms are positioned around a further bathroom on the upper level.

The master suite features stunning northerly views, a built-in-robe and a premium ensuite with dual sink vanity and a large waterfall-style shower.

Two of the three remaining bedrooms also feature built-in robes, while all bedrooms are fitted with ceiling fans and have picturesque northerly views.

Additionally, the home is near Woden Valley's schools and Woden Town Centre and has an oversized triple garage with internal access and a storage room.

“You’ll just be so surprised by how much opportunity is held in this space to have an amazingly comfortable, high-class family life,” Emma says.

The home at 99 Gouger Street in Torrens will go to auction at 10am on Saturday 29 July 2023.
