There is so much more to this home than meets the eye! Nestled on a 2210sqm block backing the Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve sits this truly remarkable property of grand proportions. The tranquil, private setting is within a short drive of the city centre.
Designed and built in 2012 this palatial home offers over 600sqm of living space built to the highest of standards with no expense spared. You will discover the unique qualities on offer as you immerse yourself in the finer details.
The architectural design balances generously proportioned living and entertaining spaces that are separated by internal walkways that link the spaces allowing for an abundance of natural light and privacy whilst capturing the sweeping views and leafy outlook. The spotted gum flooring throughout creates a brilliant connection with the snow gums that line the driveway to the interior of the home.
The formal entrance leads to the open plan kitchen living areas that form the hub of the home. From here the entertaining space flows outside to the BBQ gazebo and swimming pool, creating a five-star resort style atmosphere. When it is time to entertain the formal dining room will seat a large family. Movie nights will become a special treat in the home theatre. Sit back and enjoy a movie, make your own popcorn, grab a cool drink from the fridge and enjoy the show.
Upstairs the parents retreat is more like a presidential suite. The commanding view from the main bedroom and large balcony captures some of Canberra's iconic landmarks including Parliament House, the War Memorial, Government House and the Arboretum with a sunset back drop of the Brindabella Mountains. There is a walk-in robe the size of a bedroom, an ensuite with double showers, a bathtub with a view to the reserve and a living/study area completing the retreat.
The eastern wing provides for four bedrooms each with walk in robes, two of the four with their own ensuite and the other two bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom. Three of the bedrooms and a breakout space are located upstairs. They capture the view and a leafy outlook creating a treehouse like experience. Downstairs the rumpus and games room are ready for action of your choice. They have a separate entrance with their own kitchenette. The spaces are generously proportioned with plenty of storage options.
Nestled at the rear of the home but close to the living space is a study/craft room, perfect as a second home office or sixth bedroom and with external access to the garden. The laundry has ample shelving and cupboards and a very handy drying rack and is close to the living area for easy access. A walk-in pantry off the kitchen has plenty of space for cooking appliances and provisions.
The location, backing the reserve provides direct access to Cooleman Ridge with a myriad of walking trails or you could hit the mountain bike trails which lead to Stromlo Forest Park in no time.
An amazing low maintenance landscaped garden features Cooma stone retaining walls and extensive Travertine stone pavers in the pathways and entertaining areas around the home. There is a 20,000L and a 5,000L water tank.
Whether you are relaxing or entertaining by the pool, enjoying a BBQ with family and friends or watching a movie in the theatre you will immediately feel at home in this amazing property.
