It’s an ultra-modern home that will appeal to large families who want the size, luxury and amenity that this one-of-a-kind property can provide.”Architecturally designed by Marchese Partners, the home was completed in 2018.<img alt="17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-image-0-20220616001745735767-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-ima.width-800_mzjf9Bw.jpg" width="800">According to Andrew, the owners were involved in all aspects of the design and construction, ensuring the highest quality building standards were met.“It was designed to make the most of the incredible views and is the ultimate entertainer’s home,” he says.“The indoor-outdoor alfresco area is incredible and overlooks a stunning pool which won ACT Pool of the Year in 2018 and was third nationally.”Owners Dan and Tracey Posch say they “spared no expense and just built the house as we wanted it”.“The end result is a beautiful, modern, comfortable, relaxing, light home that would really cater to absolutely anyone,” Dan says.<img alt="17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-image-0-20220616001746706922-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-ima.width-800_T1vknrQ.jpg" width="800">The couple set out to create a personalised and delightful living space for their family.“We wanted to have fun with the design and just put in all the different features that we liked,” Dan says.“The ‘wow factor’ seems to catch everyone who comes over. People really like the top-end finishes and features.”The sprawling covered alfresco area, with its own kitchen, fireplace and television, is a sensational entertaining space.“It’s the perfect spot to cook dinner with friends and watch the footy while the kids play in the pool,” Dan says.“The adults can enjoy a drink and a game of pool in the games room while the kids watch a movie in the home cinema.”<img alt="17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-image-0-20220616001750520603-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-ima.width-800_MaOZiOl.jpg" width="800">Sales agent Andrew Smith says while the home has a list of features &quot;as long as your arm&quot;, but a highlight is the waterfall that flows from the swimming pool into an internal pond.“The massive floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with light, and they’re tinted to absorb warmth in winter and keep the home cool in summer. The home also has in-slab heating and ducted air-conditioning ensuring it’s comfortable year-round,&quot; Andrew says.“Another jaw-dropping feature is the Switch Glass windows in the children’s bedrooms, which, with the flick of a switch, can be turned from frosted to clear, allowing direct views of the pool or privacy for the kids.”<img alt="17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-image-0-20220616001742507918-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-ima.width-800_AEdYhlL.jpg" width="800">The theatre room includes stadium seating for 12 people, acoustic walls to absorb noise and a “starlight” ceiling, which lights up in the dark to create the full theatre atmosphere.Built on the side of a hill on a huge 857sqm block, the home has an extremely flexible floorplan, with a double garage, gymnasium, rumpus room and study or fifth bedroom on the lower floor.“Downstairs, there’s also a kitchenette and bathroom so this space could be converted into accommodation for guests or extended family or used to run a home business,” Mr Smith said.“Upstairs, the huge open plan living areas completely extend to the alfresco deck and fully landscaped pool area. This space is the jewel in the crown of this home and is just breathtaking.”<img alt="17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-image-0-20220616001744935539-thumbnail-1920x1920-70.jpeg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899-ima.width-800_8xCbXRt.jpg" width="800">The upper level flows onto four bedrooms, including a sumptuous master suite, all of which take in breath-taking views to the west. The elevated balcony is perfect for watching the sunset over the mountains with a glass of red at the end of a long day.Mr Posch says it’s a great home to “spend time together as a family because of the variety of things to do”.“The kids love the spa and the theatre the most. They love having friends over to hang out and have their own space to swim, watch movies,” he said.“It is a great, fun house to decorate so Christmas is always a very special time at our house. We have a 12-foot Christmas tree that is a perfect fit with the high ceilings and so many places to put decorations.”The location is also perfect, with Radford College, Belconnen Mall and Kaleen shops close by, and it’s only 10 minutes into Canberra City.Mr Smith says the size and design of the home, coupled with its highly sought-after location will make it ideal for buyers seeking space for a large or extended family.Expressions of interest for <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/17-rouseabout-street-lawson-act-2617-58899/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">17 Rouseabout Street, Lawson</a>, close at 4pm on Wednesday 29 June 2022.Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/luxury-lawson-retreat-tipped-to-smash-belconnen-sales-record/562574" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.
