This luxe, contemporary multi-award-winning home designed by TT Architecture has fittingly been profiled in numerous magazines.

A builder's own high-end home, it is renowned for its extensive use of steel, swathes of double-glazed windows and porcelain tiles that are offset by the warmth of stunning Canadian maple-clad cabinetry and floating timber stairs.

Aside from the exquisite use of materials, this is also an eminently family-focussed home with every imaginable amenity.

A family room with airy soaring ceilings and a stylish gas fireplace invites your family and friends to linger in the cooler months. It's central to the sleek kitchen and meals space with the open-plan dining and lounge area adjacent.

The master wing has a bespoke walk-in wardrobe, a private courtyard garden, a sitting area, pool views and an ensuite with dual-sink vanity, huge walk-in shower and a glamorous free-standing bathtub.

Three additional bedrooms, a quality luxury bathroom and extra powder room ensues that everyone has the space they need.

There's also a large rumpus room, dual workstation niche, a mezzanine offering incredible versatile space with generous shelving and cabinetry, and a dedicated hobby or music room off the garage. There is also a customised gymnasium with access out to the pool off the master luxurious ensuite.

Outside, two pavilion-style areas to the front and rear provide a myriad of entertaining options and places to escape to and relax.

Set in Harris Hobs-designed gardens, the rear space features a central pool that has a swim training function and an artificial grass playing area. The front, north-facing pavilion has two underlit glass-topped feature ponds against a backdrop of delicate Japanese maples. Hardwired audio systems inside and out bring the smooth party vibe.

This premium property puts you in easy walking distance of Canberra's top schools, and a short drive from boutique restaurants, shopping, the Parliamentary Triangle and the Deakin and Garran medical precincts.
