Commanding pole position at the top of Lenah Valley with beautiful views to the river, city and beyond is this substantial family home that has multiple living spaces spread over two levels and throw in a superb in ground pool and entertaining area, it is certain to please adults, teenagers and youngsters alike.

It is a 4 bedroom, 4-bathroom home, but really you have to walk through it to see just how cleverly it has been designed so that it can be adapted to the make-up of your family requirements. Its current owners are a blended family, so having different areas for teenagers, male and female was a key consideration in its design and each has its own look and feel.

Off the main entrance is a serene parent’s retreat with huge walk in wardrobe, ensuite with spa bath and glass bricks and an outlook over a Japanese style garden.

Also in the front wing is a lovely winter lounge with unique woodheater ducted to the family room and with access to the outdoor garden, pond and pool area.

The centre of the upstairs is a huge open plan family kitchen with breakfast bar, gas cooktop, electric oven, stainless dishwasher and insink-erator with heaps of benches and cupboards and space for two fridges, a dining and living area which has hosted 26 for sit down dinner and 70 for casual drinks. There is also a TV alcove and reverse cycle heat pump. Additionally there is under floor heating for this area.

The family bathroom with spa bath is off the family room, backing on to a second bedroom with built-in robe with its own separate study lounge area, stunning view of Mt Wellington through a bay window and access to the front door, so it is virtually self contained. Off the northern wing is a third large bedroom and bathroom, which doubles as the pool bathroom with direct access to the in-ground solar heated pool.

Downstairs is an area suitable for teenagers or it could be made into self contained accommodation or granny flat (STCA). There is space that could be used as another three bedrooms if required, rumpus room and/or man cave plus there’s a superb workshop and fourth bathroom. There is also a secure backyard with fruit trees and raised veggie beds.

There is parking for at least 9 cars in the driveway and a car port at the front door for ease of access with groceries and the like. The home also features a back to base security system.

Throw in the fact it’s at the end of a quiet cul de sac and a quick trip down hill to Augusta Road and the city and this is real winner definitely worth a look if you want the combination of multiple living spaces and a quality individual home.
