If there was a 'Real Housewives of Gungahlin' this Bonner home would be the star

This one-of-a-kind, four-bedroom family home at 9 Bert Groves Street, Bonner, is full of unique touches and custom details lovingly crafted by its Canberra builder/designer/owner.

Designed and built by - and for - the family behind Canberra’s Link Constructions, the 18-month design process left no detail unconsidered.

“Every piece of joinery in the home … is custom-made by local Canberra businesses,” the owner says.

“We used our years of experience in building and designing homes to create a unique and special forever home.”

Stone Real Estate agent Kris Hellier says the home's attention to detail is wowing potential buyers.

“A lot of the buyers that walk through comment on the quality, and everyone agrees it is a 10 out of 10 inclusion home,” Kris says.

“From the second you walk through the front door, there’s not a thing that you can buy off the shelf. The whole home is one of one.”

Kris says the grand entrance of the home is a feature in and of itself, featuring large windows to capture sunrises and sunsets.

A designer staircase with cantilevered polished concrete treads is a breathtaking feature at the centre of the home.

This staircase leads to the upper level of the property, from which there is are 180-degree panoramic views, stretching all the way from Gungahlin town centre to Parliament House and Telstra Tower.

It’s no coincidence the majority of living takes place on the first floor, with an alfresco space to soak up the stunning views, complete with full-length outdoor blinds, fans, ceiling heaters and a gas hob.

Also upstairs, and all with rare and expansive views, are the family and dining spaces, formal lounge, home office (wired for up to three separate computers), a powder room and kitchen.

The kitchen sports a custom cantilever epoxy timber top island bench, butler’s pantry, designer pendant, stainless steel bench tops and a complete set of fully-integrated kitchen appliances. The stunning kitchen features include a Liebherr fridge and freezer plumbed for use as an ice maker, a Smeg induction cooktop, double pyrolytic ovens, a steam oven, microwave and two dishwashers.

Kris says the “ridiculously” long list of features continues downstairs, with the outdoor private resort-style facilities making up a considerable part of that list.

At the heart of the ground level is an almost 50sqm private courtyard with a central firepit, directly adjacent to a rumpus room with a dedicated bar.

Walk through the rumpus and you’ll find a solar-heated magnesium mineral pool, alongside a porch and sheltered cabana with ceiling fans.

Also downstairs are three bedrooms, all with custom wardrobes, and a master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and Cemintel concrete feature panels.

The two downstairs bathrooms have double showers and bathtubs, and a separate laundry with extra storage space.

Other sweeteners include a 2.5 car garage, complete with a mud room and large workbench, data and TV points to every room, a seven-camera CCTV alarm system and a heating and cooling system to keep the worst of winter and summer at bay. A gas fireplace, dual hot water system, zoned hydronic in-slab heating to the lower floor, and hydronic radiator are also inclusions.

If you can bring yourself to leave the home, you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of the leafy Bilin Bilin Street Playground, with Oak Hill Nature Reserve and Bonner Urban Park also nearby.

“We have poured our hearts and souls into this home and hope the new owners enjoy it as much as we have,” the owner says.

Number 9 Bert Groves Street, Bonner, will be auctioned at 12 noon on Saturday 17 June 2023.
