A mix of marble tiles and spotted gum timber flooring will lead you through a floor plan perfect for multigenerational living, with multiple living rooms and a total of six bedrooms.

This outdoor area is shaded by a wisteria-clad pergola, which puts on a spectacular show of purple throughout October and early November while still looking magical every other month.
Within walking distance is elite schooling at Canberra Grammar, a stunning nature trail at Red Hill Nature Reserve, the best in cafe and restaurant offerings at Manuka Shops and premier sporting events at Manuka Oval.
