83 Fitchett Street, Garran, ACT 2605

This understated yet elegant home gives off decidedly US East Coast vibes but its incredible rear yard backs the Garran-Hughes woodland and is all-Australian, with 12 native species of eye-catching parrots among the neighbouring wildlife. Meticulously crafted by a builder and an interior decorator for their own family, it's a home that hums with high-end features but retains a welcoming, relaxed feel.

Much of that is due to an easy flowing floorplan suited to all families which capitalises on its fabulous, elevated site. To the front, a chilled but very stylish loungeroom offers sensational views of the Brindabellas - great in winter when the sun glints off snowcapped peaks, and equally great in summer when Juliet balcony doors open to allow scented summer breezes to waft through.

At the rear, folding glass doors on two entire walls of the family room also open, providing incredible end-to-end airflow as well as easy access to the impressive backyard including a sparkling cerulean pool, half-court basketball zone, lush lawn, children's playground and entertainer's deck with full outdoor kitchen.

Everything you might need to bunker down with the family is here. On the ground level, the envy-inducing man's dream in the double garage which has a bar, workspace and great storage niche and leads to another full bathroom, mudroom, rumpus and a well fitted-out home office. Enjoy the centrality of this location which is in walking distance of Canberra Hospital, desirable schools in Garran and Hughes and the Woden Town Centre.
