Sitting in this peaceful property embraced by established gardens and treetop views, it’s hard to believe you’re so close to everything Canberra has to offer. Perfectly positioned in a sought-after Bruce neighbourhood halfway between Belconnen and the city, this bushland oasis backs reserve and offers a high-level of inclusions throughout.

The home was designed by AV Jennings and it has been beautifully renovated and extended over the years, offering ample space to relax and entertain. There are two separate living areas – a formal lounge and dining room extending from the entry and a large, open-plan family room spilling off the kitchen. 

Ideal for intimate gatherings, the elegant formal lounge room enjoys an abundance of natural light via the high ceilings and skylight. 

The well-equipped kitchen is complete with quality European appliances, stone bench tops, a large island counter and a butler’s pantry. An expanse of glass opens the area up to landscaped gardens and Gossan Hill Reserve. The raised stonewall garden provides a stunning sanctuary with lots of quiet places to sit and enjoy the view. 

Further alfresco entertaining options await at the front of the home where a large timber deck offers sweeping views across a canopy of trees. 

There are four bedrooms, two are master-sized and segregated on each side of the home. Each feature a luxurious en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Bedrooms three and four include built-in wardrobes and share a stylish central bathroom. 

Boasting 224 square metres of immaculate living space, families and entertainers will feel right at home in this peaceful property. Other features include floating timber floors throughout the front of the home, a solar hot water system and downlights throughout.

Room for improvement: Add an outdoor kitchen for the ultimate alfresco entertaining area.
