A Hidden Gem

Behind its understated façade and designed by renowned 60s architect Neil Renfree, this delightful light-filled four bedroom plus study, two bathroom, home will capture your heart. Enjoying northerly garden views from most rooms this property is sited to make full use of the 1202m2 (approx.) block, made private by courtyards, terraces and an abundance of mature, flowering shrubs and trees.

Extensions and renovations have maintained the original architectural integrity of the home, maximizing its relationship to the private gardens beyond. Living and dining areas spill out into the sun-filled northern courtyard, heady with fragrance through spring and summer.

At the heart of the home lies its modern kitchen with quality appliances. Flowing into a generous family room, both areas are flooded with natural light from the wall of high windows. French tessellated tiles feature throughout and glass doors open onto outdoor areas.

The segregated master bedroom includes a walk-though wardrobe and huge bathroom overlooking another private courtyard. Three additional bedrooms offer built-in wardrobes, and bedroom four also opens onto the garden.

The study, or home office, with its own private entrance, lies at the front of the property, where off-street parking is available for a further two cars. There is also a double carport adjacent to the front entrance.

The main bathroom and separate toilet have been renovated and the modern laundry will delight with its abundance of space and storage.

Meandering gardens include walls of Chinese star jasmine, red dogwood, figs, pomegranate, crab apple, olive, kaffa lime, lemon, cumquat, magnolia, gardenia, and Japanese maple trees. A grove of silver birches provides shade around the in-ground swimming pool and an alfresco dining area is secluded under the apple tree and wisteria covered pergola.

Gate access onto greenbelt leads to Mt Taylor Nature reserve and walking trails. A double carport sits beside a storage area and workshop. Offering a timeless design in a prime Woden Valley location, delight your senses and experience the magic for yourself.
