This home is truly an oasis on Manuka's doorstep. Timeless in every aspect, this executive family home offers high ceilings, generous spaces and a flexible floorplan, plus a seamless flow to the pergola and private gardens outside. From each window, views onto lush established gardens, verdant hedging, spring flowers and autumnal foliage from trees that provide summer shade. Surrounding courtyards provide outdoor enjoyment through all seasons, with a raised kitchen garden at your back door.

Well cared for, this home was renovated and extended since its original 1940 construction, with the last renovation in 1992 significantly increasing the footprint with the original architecture being honoured. The design and renovations have been carefully thought out to accommodate the northern orientation of the home. The home is full of light and space with generous room proportions and high ceilings. The amount of storage on offer in the home is fantastic.

The bay windows pay respect to a previous era, and the size of rooms will surely impress. The formal lounge with fireplace is ready for those cozy winter nights. The kitchen has terrazzo stone benchtops, plus copious amounts of bench and cupboard storage capacity ready for any amount of entertaining. Overhead the kitchen has a unique lead-light skylight, set within the shiplap ceiling. The segregation and size of the parents' retreat will certainly be appreciated by the future owners.


Superbly located, the home is within a gentle walk to Manuka shops and the excellent private and public schools of Canberra Grammar School, Red Hill Primary, St Bede's Primary, and Telopea Park School.
