Welcome to 12 Blinkhorn Place, Gordon - a truly distinctive Federation-style residence where timeless character, exceptional proportions and thoughtful design come together to create a home unlike any other.
Built in 1992, this impressive residence is understood to have been built by Scott Brothers Design Construction Co. Pty Ltd, based on information provided to the current owners by the previous owner. The home has been carefully considered from the ground up, with an emphasis on quality construction, generous proportions and beautiful architectural detail. The exceptional level of care given to the home over the years is immediately apparent, with a sense of pride and attention to detail evident throughout.
From the moment you arrive, the home has an undeniable sense of presence. A circular driveway leads through beautifully landscaped gardens to the striking Federation façade, framed by a wide wrap-around verandah featuring cedar timber and sandstone. The established gardens and immaculate presentation create an impressive welcome and give you an immediate sense of the quality that lies beyond.
Set peacefully within a quiet cul-de-sac, the home also enjoys a wonderful connection to its surroundings. Parks, nature and the river are all within easy reach, while Gordon shops are within walking distance, as are local schools. There is also excellent access to public transport, with the Tuggeranong Centre less than a 10-minute drive away, together with convenient access to the Lanyon Markets and Lanyon Club.
Inside, the sense of quality, care and character continues. Elegant entry doors with stained glass open into a welcoming foyer, with a dedicated coat room and beautiful architectural details throughout. High ceilings feature throughout the home, adding to the feeling of space and enhancing the natural light.
The formal lounge is an inviting and light-filled space, enhanced by generous proportions and charming bay windows that draw in the northern light. Elegant cornices, feature lighting and high ceilings add to the home's timeless appeal.
Flowing from the formal lounge is the generous formal dining room, providing an elegant setting for entertaining family and friends.
At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen, offering exceptional space and storage together with a walk-in pantry. Thoughtfully positioned to maintain a degree of separation from the main family and dining areas, the kitchen combines functionality with privacy while remaining central to everyday family life.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a substantial rumpus room, providing another generous living zone that can adapt to suit the needs of your family - whether as a children's retreat, media room, games room or additional entertaining space.
The northern wing of the home is dedicated to the remaining four bedrooms, all exceptionally well proportioned and designed with family comfort in mind. The main bedroom is particularly impressive in scale, featuring a huge walk-in robe/dressing room and an elegant ensuite.
The main bathroom continues the home's generous proportions and classic character, with a spa bath and separate toilet. There is also an additional bathroom with shower and toilet, conveniently positioned near the laundry, which has excellent storage and external access.
Storage is a genuine feature throughout the home, with extensive linen storage and excellent attic storage providing plenty of practical space for those items you don't need every day.
Outside, the home continues to impress. A comfortable covered pergola extends directly from the house, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining and weekend barbecues. It overlooks the beautifully landscaped, easy-care backyard, which is private, established and exceptionally well maintained.
Practicality has not been overlooked, with gas heating, a ducted vacuum system and a substantial double garage with internal access. The garage also provides roller-door access through to the backyard, offering excellent flexibility for storage, vehicles and family living.
Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the home offers the peace and privacy of a residential setting while remaining close to the conveniences of Gordon. Enjoy easy access to nature, walk to Gordon shops and nearby schools, and take advantage of the excellent public transport connections. The Tuggeranong Centre is less than 10 minutes away by car, while the Lanyon Markets and Lanyon Club are also conveniently close.
12 Blinkhorn Place is a home of genuine individuality - exceptional in its design, remarkable in its proportions, rich in character and clearly cherished and cared for over the years. A residence of this scale, quality and distinctive Federation character is rarely offered to the market.
