Behind the humble heritage facade of this 1920s Reid property at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800/?" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">5 Dirrawan Gardens</a> is a home worthy of every real estate superlative.Awarded House of the Year by the Master Builders Association when it was completed in 2010 (eight years after works commenced), the judging panel hit the nail on the head when they said: “You have to see it to believe it.&quot;“It’s hard to even describe it,” admits <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-dickson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker</a> licensed agent <a href="/agents/stephen-bunday/">Stephen Bunday</a>.&quot;It&#x27;s kind of a cross between an art gallery, a ballroom, a home and a cinema.”<div>

Stephen says one of the biggest wow factors of the home is the subterranean movie theatre which he likened to a miniature suburban version of Canberra’s Palace Electric Cinemas.The fully equipped theatre features tiered leather recliners, a wide-screen curved projector screen - with a dedicated projector room - and a surround sound system.Behind the cinema is a break-out lounge area for post-movie socialising, where Stephen suggests you could enjoy a quiet gin and tonic, brandy or glass of red with guests.<img alt="5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0-20230421013200525005-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0.width-800_KlYNT67.jpg" width="800">Walk out of the cinema, and you’ll find yourself in an expansive, open-top ballroom-cum-art-gallery, with a curved staircase adorned in travertine tiles leading up toward the entry of the home.The 600sqm of indoor living space (the most Stephen has come across in his nearly 30 years in real estate) continues upstairs, where art deco meets contemporary comfort.<img alt="5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0-20230421013205123461-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">Heat-treated curved timberwork, hand-crafted cornices and marble and travertine mosaics are blended with a security system, intelligent CBUS control system and lead-light windows.Intricate parquetry floors extend in all directions from the light-filled reception area, which faces a glass-panelled wall looking toward the outdoor living space.<img alt="5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0-20230421013202983680-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0.width-800_7h1ZuKw.jpg" width="800">To the left, there’s a spacious formal dining room, family room and contemporary chef’s kitchen, complete with a butler’s pantry.On the right-hand side of the home, there’s a lounge room, three bedrooms (all with ensuites) and a study, which could be converted into a fourth bedroom.Other astounding features include an almost 200sqm, five-car garage, a 70,000-litre rainwater tank, a fire-proof &#x27;strong room&#x27; and two guest powder rooms.Even with all those indoor living options, Stephen says there is still substantial outdoor living space on the more than 1300sqm block.“There’s a big terracotta-tiled alfresco area out the back and still enough room to install a swimming pool, subject to approval,” he says.<img alt="5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0-20230421013201854202-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0.width-800_RQdBuSV.jpg" width="800">If you were waiting for the catch, well ... there isn’t one. The home is centrally-located in Reid’s leafy Dirrawan Gardens.“There’s probably three or four absolute bluechip addresses in the inner north, and Dirrawan Gardens is one of them,” Stephen says.“You’re also on the fringe of the city: you’ve got Lake Burley Griffin within walking distance and Mount Ainslie not too far away.“So you’ve got this incredible, enviable lifestyle, and yet it feels like you’re living in a parkland.”A tennis club and preschool are also within easy walking distance of the home. But Stephen says it’s the kind of home you simply must experience for yourself.<img alt="5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0-20230421013158455839-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800-image-0.width-800_48rJW2c.jpg" width="800">“I hadn’t been there for a couple of years, and I walked in and went, ‘Wow,&#x27;” he says.“It’s just the sheer effect it has on you when you step through that heritage facade.”Number 5 Dirrawan Gardens, Reid, is for sale by negotiation.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/5-dirrawan-gardens-reid-act-2612-78800/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it-heritage-home-with-underground-movie-buffs-lair-ready-for-next-discerning-pair-of-hands/654247" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotACT.</a>
