Forrest home maximises space and connection

A home of palatial proportions and contemporary sophistication over three levels, this residence has been crafted for effortless family living and grand-scale entertaining.

From the walk-in temperature-controlled wine cellar to the three separate bedroom wings, this house is prestige living at its finest.

On entry, a tiled foyer leads into a formal lounge and dining area, following on to an open-plan family, meals and dining area.

A highlight is the crackling fireplace, which creates the perfect setting for enjoying a hot cup of tea on those cold winter nights.

The kitchen, which overlooks this zone, has Smeg appliances, a walk-in pantry and plentiful bench space.

The three bedroom wings offer privacy for family members and guests. Upstairs, the main wing has a walk-through wardrobe, large en suite and its own balcony. Each of the two additional wings has two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and another bathroom.

With its multiple large living spaces, the residence is an entertainer’s dream.

A gracious interior gives way to an inviting realm outdoors. A full-size tennis court, solar-heated pool and spa are set against the backdrop of elegantly manicured gardens.

Balconies enjoy unrivalled views over the Parliamentary Circle, Lake Burley Griffin and Black Mountain.

Opposite Collins Park, and just a short walk from Manuka shops and Red Hill Nature Reserve, the property is in a prime location, in one of Canberra’s most prestigious suburbs.
