Multi-purpose, inter-generational home with flexible floorplan and panoramic golf course views

This character-filled home is ideal for a family looking for that perfect property to fulfill their inter-generational needs. Adult offspring still living at home but preferring their own space, or perhaps an opportunity for the grandparents to be an integral part of the clan once again? Flanking the golf course, the downstairs area that could easily operate as a granny flat offers an impressive light-filled living area, ergonomic kitchenette, huge bedroom with storage and an excellent bathroom with separate shower recess, bathtub and bidet. Direct access to a beautiful walled courtyard and calming tiered fishponds are a bonus. With cost-of-living escalating, this space could also be utilised as income-producing student accommodation or the like if preferred.

The main residence won't disappoint either. Directly off the characterful formal entry is a distinctive formal living area complete with gas fire and elegant fireplace surround, dado rails, high ceilings with decorative ceiling rose, built-in bookshelves and plush carpeting. The peaceful garden outlook ensures this room a delight to occupy.

On the opposite side of the entry is the spacious main bedroom suite. Having its own walled courtyard with attractive screening foliage is a rarity, as is the direct access to a roomy study, easily converted to a nursery or 5th bedroom if required. The lovely bay window, Federation era inspired features and large, light-filled ensuite with spa bath captures one's imagination.

There's no shortage of living areas either. Including the previously mentioned formal lounge room and downstairs living area, there's a separate dining room comfortably seating 10 people and a bounteous family room adjoining the well-designed, recently revamped kitchen. Finally, the memorable slate-floored sunroom with its impressive bank of windows overlooks the well-established grounds, Ginninderra creek and Gungahlin Lakes golf course. Housing a 3/4-size pool table, one won't want for space. The pitched ceilings and plentiful sunlight is spectacular. There's also an inviting balcony to take in the views with perhaps a glass of wine or two in the late afternoon. Direct access to the decked areas and gazebo makes it a magnet for alfresco entertaining.

Two double-size bedrooms with built-ins, both overlooking the golf course, one with timber floors, the other with access to the balcony, should keep the kids happy. The adjacent main bathroom with its programmable hot water, underfloor heating, glass blocks for privacy and including a separate WC, completes the picture.

Garden lovers take note of what this property has to offer in the list of features below. It's ideal for a family wanting to pursue a more organic lifestyle. As well, this amazing garden attracts a wealth of bird life, as well as providing privacy and shade in the warmer months ahead. The residential block is complemented by adjoining green space where the orchard and vegetable beds occur. Rear roller door access to the oversize double garage also makes gardening so much easier and there's a plethora of storage space within.

Proximity to the Gungahlin town centre, two golf courses, schools, local shopping centres and a host of other amenities adds to the convenience and continued value of this property. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!
