From this "spectacular" Garran home you'll feel like you're overlooking all of Canberra

It’s not often that homes of this size and layout hit the market.

Commanding a 1240-square-metre block at 18 Couvreur Street is this expansive six-bedroom, four-bathroom home with so much to unpack.

Let’s begin with the location. It backs the serene Red Hill Nature Reserve and boasts incredible views, providing a tranquil and picturesque setting that is truly unique.

Multiple spaces allow you to enjoy these surroundings, including a pergola with flexible roofing that can open and close to suit different times of the day.

A private gate provides direct access to the Red Hill Nature Reserve and walking trails at the rear.

The front verandah on the upper level is an extension of the indoor main living area and is the best place to enjoy dinner out on the al fresco space, with Canberra’s incredible views as the backdrop.

Moving inside, the refreshed interiors are stunning. Timber floors, custom joinery, double-glazed windows and extensive glass elements evoke elegance while literally and figuratively connecting with the outdoors.

The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home, where the family will come together from the multiple living areas to enjoy a gourmet meal.

This home was certainly made with intergenerational living in mind. The ground level includes a self-contained studio apartment with a separate entry, bathroom, lounge, and bedroom, making it ideal for guests or additional rental income.

Additional features on this level include ample storage areas, a wine cellar, and a large multipurpose rumpus room.

“This is one of my favourite positions: perched high, backing onto Red Hill Reserve, with uninterrupted views over Woden towards the Brindabellas and the Arboretum,” says agent Mario Sanfrancesco of Blackshaw Manuka.

“It is a spectacular family home with an abundance of space … definitely worthy of inspection.”

As a conveniently located suburb, Garran offers easy access to amenities such as Woden Town Centre, Canberra Hospital, and great schools. Go for a stroll across the reserve or venture to nearby Manuka for a coffee.
