“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece” ― Claude Monet
The road home...
Designed by renowned architect Louis Poxleitner and embracing considered solar-passive design principles, this spectacular single-level residence presents an exceptional family sanctuary, enveloped by whimsical gardens in a tightly held cul-de-sac setting. Within walking distance of Lake Ginninderra and moments from Westfield Belconnen, it delivers an inspired combination of architectural character, space and everyday convenience.
Deceptive from the street, lush established greenery provides a beautiful sense of privacy and seclusion, concealing the remarkable home beyond. Step inside to a welcoming entrance foyer before being drawn into the generous formal lounge, where an elegant timber feature ceiling adds warmth and character, while expansive glazing frames a majestic outlook across the side garden. Peaceful and inviting, it is a wonderful setting in which to relax and unwind.
A segregated home office connects effortlessly with the formal living area, creating a quiet and versatile retreat for working from home, study or creative pursuits.
At the heart of the residence, a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has been designed to bring family and friends together. The beautifully appointed kitchen creates an impressive centrepiece, showcasing quality appliances, superb fixtures and finishes, generous preparation space and an exceptionally practical butler's pantry. Whether preparing relaxed family dinners or entertaining on a grander scale, this is a space designed to make every occasion memorable.
Privately positioned, the generous master suite offers a wonderful sense of retreat, complete with a walk-through robe and impressive renovated ensuite. The additional bedrooms are all well proportioned and feature built-in robes, while a beautifully renovated main bathroom and separate toilet comfortably service the remainder of the home.
The road ahead...
Outside, the gardens are nothing short of enchanting. Established plantings surround a generous lawn, while a paved entertaining terrace and open pergola draped in magnificent wisteria create an idyllic backdrop for long lunches, summer evenings and memorable gatherings with family and friends.
An impressive list of additional features further enhances the home, including double-glazed windows, solar panels with battery storage, seven split-system air-conditioning units, extensive storage and a double garage.
Beyond the residence, the quiet cul-de-sac setting provides space for children to play, with nearby parkland adding to the relaxed family lifestyle. Lake Ginninderra, local schools and shops are all within easy reach, while Westfield Belconnen and the broader Belconnen Town Centre are only moments away.
