Meticulously designed by a builder with a reputation for perfectionism, 14 Russell Drysdale Crescent is a five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Conder taking family living to new heights.
Looking at the property, it’s easy to see why the property’s vendor has been here ever since he built it 30 years ago. It shows a level of care and planning that sets a new benchmark.
“Every component of the home is very well thought out. Everything flows beautifully, like the kitchen, which opens out to an outdoor barbecue area on the deck or the fact that the ground floor’s bedrooms, living spaces and master bedroom are all separate,” Jonny Warren Properties agent Ben Holder says.

Particularly stunning are the home’s living areas, such as the kitchen and dining room, which take in views of the Brindabellas through large, timber-accented windows, while the lounge room can actually be closed off from the rest of the living room with sliding doors, creating a more private space.
“It’s such a versatile property, with that potential for broader entertaining but also the ability to close it off for privacy. That sort of flexibility really comes in handy when you have a big family,” Ben says.
Accommodating leisure, play and work, the property provides everything that its residents could need, including two home offices.
“These days, a lot of families have one or even two members working from home. This setup means that two people can comfortably work remotely in a professional setting, rather than just having to use a little room off a hallway,” Ben says.
“And the fact that the offices are on the bottom floor rather than up on the ground floor means they are quiet so you can stay focused.”
Further adding to the office’s appeal is the kitchenette, meaning residents don’t have to spend half the day running up and down the stairs.
“The kitchenette even has a little wine rack. It’s easy to cap off the week with a glass of red,” Ben says.
“That more or less sums up the house – it gives the residents the ability to work from home, but leisure and entertaining are always there.”
A home meant to be shared, this property has more than enough room to entertain a crowd, while still giving privacy to those who want some peace and quiet.
“It’s set up really well, so if there’s a party on, it’s still easy to find a quiet retreat and zone out,” Ben says.
An extensive deck with a barbecue, views of the Brindabellas and a large jacuzzi is an obvious first choice for summer evenings with mates, but that’s really only the beginning.
On the ground floor, the garden has extensive room for seating, a fire pit, as well as a tiki bar, giving an element of fun and novelty to Friday afternoon drinks.
“This is absolutely an entertainer’s home, without a doubt. Once the weather warms up, this property is a dream, with people on the deck, in the garden, enjoying the jacuzzi; it’s a powerhouse,” Ben says.
Situated in the Lanyon Valley, the property wants for nothing in terms of local amenities.
“I’m a local and I can tell you that this is a great community area. There are wonderful schools like St Clare’s in walking distance, but also public schools, walking trails, shopping, pubs, clubs and restaurants,” Ben says.
“There’s almost too much to talk about with this home; it really does everything a family home can do, and everyone who has come through loves it.”
