Shrouded in privacy behind high manicured green hedges sits a circa 1907 sprawling estate. Adorned with period features and an abundance of character, this remarkable property and its surrounds are lauded as locally and historically significant within the suburb of Lenah Valley.

Stepping through the gate from Augusta Road, the entrance of the home invites you to marvel at the rich heritage and charm, with a wide, open hallway, high ceilings and ornate mouldings and cornices. Each room of the residence branches from the broad corridor as you make your way along, all enjoying views of the glorious gardens.

A formal living space with an open fireplace exudes elegance, currently configured as a classic music room. Double glass doors lead through to the sitting room at the rear of the home which bathes in all-day sunshine, retaining natural warmth, extending to a sun-soaked balcony overlooking the expansive grounds.

A large, functional kitchen provides ample space for culinary requirements, and is equipped with quality stainless-steel appliances including a Miele dishwasher and Smeg oven with electric stovetop. There is plenty of room to incorporate dining for family breakfasts and casual meals.

Within the main residence, the accommodation comprises three generous bedrooms, each with their unique configuration. Two bedrooms feature ornamental fireplaces, with one enjoying large bay windows, framing the front garden outlook.

The master suite contains custom-built timber shelving, mirrors, and built-in wardrobes, with a secret passageway leading through to a superb sunroom, study or reading nook, looking out across the glorious greenery.

A renovated, modern bathroom services the home with an over-bath shower, floating vanity, toilet, and storage space. Stainless-steel fixtures including a rainfall shower-head and shelving recess contribute to the modern luxury, with IXL heating overhead for complete comfort.

Within the grounds, a self-contained studio adds further, separate living space, ideal for guests. A comfortable lounge area weaves through to a functional kitchenette, and down into a cosy bedroom steeped in sunshine. Conveniently, a separate shower and powder room service the studio, and there is ample built-in cupboard space for storage.

The rear, north-facing timber deck captures maximum all-day sunshine. From the living room, double glass doors open onto the balcony, allowing entertaining to extend to the outdoors, where you can dine al fresco while marvelling at the stunning grounds before you. Additionally, a shaded paved patio with seating provides the ideal space for BBQs and year-round entertaining.

The wrap-around gardens offer plenty of fresh produce, with garden beds boasting raspberries, rhubarbs, peas, and broad beans. Plums, grapes, almond and apple trees bare seasonal fruit and explode with colour. A tranquil pond brimming with waterlilies provides a peaceful setting to sit by with a book, soaking up the sunshine.

Storage is aplenty, with ample room under the house, a garden shed and space within the large, external laundry. The property enjoys duel access via the front gates of Augusta Rd, and securely from Murchison St.

While retaining many original features, this magnificent property seamlessly combines contemporary living with old world charm, providing a comfortable and spacious family home. Conveniently opposite the many amenities of Lenah Valley, this visual landmark within the suburb creates intrigue to all those who pass by, with just a lucky few able to call the property home.
