Forde is arguably the most sought-after suburb in Canberra’s north side. So, when a home with as much sophistication and style as this one hits the market, of course it’s going to turn heads.
The home at 8 Laird Crescent boasts four bedrooms plus a home office across 241 square metres of living space – not including the triple garage – providing ample space for a family to thrive.
The floor plan segregates the public and private rooms for convenience and comfort, with the main-bedroom suite at the front of the home offers scenic pond views and an attic ceiling.
There’s an open-plan lounge – with a slow-combustion fireplace for cosy evenings – and a separate theatre room, soundproofed for optimal entertainment.
With rising energy costs, it’s comforting to note that the home comes future-ready and is equipped with solar panels and a Tesla battery – a seemingly simple feature but one that you’ll relish when the quarterly bills roll in.
As the frosty winter mornings hit, you won’t second-guess turning on the ducted heating or the bathroom and en suite’s in-slab heating.
Summers will be spent in the covered outdoor entertaining area which overlooks the architect-designed and expertly constructed in-ground heated pool.
This is temperature controlled, so there’s no need to wait for the hottest January days before jumping in. Between dips, meals can be served from the outdoor kitchen.
If a larger gathering is at hand, simply open up the concertina doors for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, which makes for the very best party space.
Spend weekends on a stunning nature walk in nearby Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve or visiting the many playgrounds and dog parks. When the day is done, head to Frankie’s for dinner or grab takeaway pizzas from Da Bronx.
