A Remarkable Adam Hobill Designed Family Residence

Perched amongst tall trees and picturesque gardens, and set back from the street, this impressive masterpiece was renovated and extended to the highest standard by renowned designer, Adam Hobill. Designed in such a way where aspect, space, light and greenery are highlighted perfectly to create the perfect family home, no stone was left un-turned. Sitting peacefully on 1161sqm of rich Red Hill soil, this residence offers the perfect mix of old and new architecture. Stepping in, past the formal entryway, your attention is drawn to the high ceilings and soaring double glazed glass which spas over two stories, allowing for an abundance of north-facing light to enter the space, year-round. An open plan living/dining space enjoys the full glass wall whilst encompassing the kitchen. The kitchen, highlighted with green accents, the space is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, complemented by a 80mm stone benchtop, and completed with a breakfast bar. A butler's pantry calls for convenience and provides plenty of storage. This floor holds the study nook with built-in desks, an arts room, the laundry and bathroom which services this level. Accommodation is made convenient with five-bedrooms spread across the top level. The master suite is generous in size whilst being inclusive of a walk-in wardrobe and a large en-suite fitted with his and her sinks. The remaining four rooms are sizeable, all equipped with built-in wardrobes. The rumpus room is perfect for another living space, and a great segregated space. A large bathroom accommodates for the remaining rooms upstairs whilst a downstairs bathroom is convenient for guests and perfect after enjoying the pool. Accessing the rear of the home through the large sliding doors, the outdoor entertainment is just as impressive as the home itself. The built-in BBQ carries the same green accents whilst providing the perfect sheltered space for gatherings, offering a stone benchtop, sink, storage, television and a pool table. Looking out to the manicured backyard, the large tree shades you in summer and creates an amazing backdrop in winter. Accessing the indoor pool through multiple access points, this is the perfect addition to a Canberra home. With unpredictable weather, the indoor pool is ideal for yea-round swimming featuring heated floors and large sliding doors that open to the rear of the home allowing for an indoor-outdoor feel. Strategically located, you're placed moments away from Red Hill's finest local cafes, nature walks, the Manuka Precinct and acclaimed restaurants.
