On an elevated block set well back from the street, and hugging the Mt Taylor Reserve, this is one of those rare properties that feels like a gentrified country estate yet is ultra-convenient to office, retail precincts, private schools and excellent medical facilities.
Occupying almost an acre, with picturesque manicured grounds, a romantic rear terrace, swimming pool, tennis court and classic air conditioned jarrah 2000-bottle wine cellar, it presents endless opportunities to relax, entertain, cultivate, explore hobbies and simply appreciate the surroundings.
Terraced gardens, more than 180 roses, leafy front terrace, inviting verandah and a sandstone portico provide formal introduction to the elevated character home.
Inside, high ceilings contribute to spaces that are grand and bright, especially the formal lounge room with its dual aspect looking out towards Isaac Ridge and Red Hill. It's easy to imagine curling up by the open fireplace here by night and watching the lights of the Woden Valley.
There are two courtyards to the side of the property, one, which is pergola-clad and accessed through double doors off the formal dining room; and the other, which is completely covered and accessed from the expansive rumpus room where a wood burning stove offers comfort should outdoor temperatures drop.
The largely-original kitchen with its six-seat breakfast bar plus meals area are the pivotal points of the home, and provide a substantial footprint full of potential for you to make your mark.
There is exceptional standing-height storage adjacent to the wine cellar under the house through the automated double garage. Expansive driveway with dedicated parking is available for up to a further 4 - 5 cars, a caravan or boat. The property is protected by an integrated security system with 13 cameras in total.
Unrivalled privacy and peace in a prime location makes this a standalone opportunity for those seeking a grand country lifestyle in the city.
