Palatial home delivers luxury on a new scale for Lawson

There are standard ceiling heights and what you would call high ceilings. And then there are very high ceilings.

A case in point is this massive Lawson home, where the ceilings top out at six metres. Actually, everything about this property is big.

It starts with big Brindabellas views from an elevated 1000-square-metre-plus block – the highest residential location in Lawson.

That’s backed up by a house that packs a big 650 square metres under its roof.

But that’s not to say its size is a substitute for quality. It combines the two and comes up with an unforgettable package that delivers luxury living on a new scale.

Kevin Bi of Ray White Canberra, who lists this outstanding property, says there’s nothing comparable.

“This is a big home with fantastic views – people are amazed at how spacious it is inside and are blown away by all the inclusions,” he says.

“There are multiple living areas and extras – like a wine room and bar, a home theatre – and it’s pretty rare to have an en suite for every bedroom.”

You’ll be forgiven for needing to take a moment when you step into the grand foyer. Chances are you might feel like you need to check in at reception.

The formal lounge and dining room is a huge space where a number of guests well into double figures could easily be absorbed.

There’s also a wine cellar with custom shelving and a bar.

On the other side of the foyer, there’s another huge living room with access to an entertaining terrace – in case you need even more space.

A LED-backlit timber staircase leads to two bedrooms (with en suites) and a TV room before reaching the casual kitchen-dining-family living zone highlighted by a cosy fireplace.

The kitchen features custom joinery, timber and stone finishes, and a full suite of Gaggenau appliances, including twin integrated fridge-freezers. A butler’s pantry and spacious laundry deliver further functionality.

Upstairs, a curved mezzanine landing overlooks the informal living and dining areas. This level offers three bedrooms – all with en suites – and a spacious main retreat.

The latter’s en suite has a free-standing bath, a large walk-in shower and double vanities.

Bi says the home, which comes with a price guide of $3.5-$4 million, is packed with plenty of technology.

“That includes advanced security monitoring systems and intercom, [plus] front-door fingerprint recognition access for enhanced safety,” he says. “Other features include smart-control electronic blinds.”

Large double-glazed windows and stacking doors not only allow a connection to the outdoors, but combined with ducted and zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, and in-slab heating, they help to keep temperatures steady throughout the home.

The lower-level hosts a garage for up to seven vehicles, extensive storage, and a versatile theatre room for the ultimate cinematic experience.

Outside, the entertaining options are highlighted by a heated pool amid low-maintenance landscaping and delightful vistas of the Belconnen region.

Bi says there’s no doubt this Lawson residence is a real entertainer’s home.

“There’s an option just about everywhere – inside and out – and these spaces are certainly big enough to entertain on a large scale if needed,” he says.

There’s also easy access to the adjacent nature reserve that wraps around the home like an extensive green belt.
