Meticulously designed as the perfect family home, 35 Florence Fuller Crescent is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom property in Conder taking in sweeping views of the Lanyon Valley.

This property’s story started when the owner visited a friend in the area almost 20 years ago and became completely smitten with the view. He bought the block and built his dream home.

“It really speaks to the value of this position on the side of the hill. The owner saw the view and decided that this is where he would build his dream home,” Jonny Warren Properties agent Ben Holder says.

“He had a good eye too. This is one of the highest blocks of land in the Lanyon Valley and the outlook is just amazing.”

The home is simply exceptional and every component of it has been built to take in views of the entire Lanyon Valley and the Brindabella Ranges.

“It’s quite uncommon to see a home which has views from the kitchen, the living room, the bedrooms, it’s all been built to put that outlook front and centre,” Ben says.

The kitchen’s sink is in the island bench, so the owner can even take in the view while doing food prep.

“Everything with the home’s design is so thoughtful, the owner really knew the strengths of this property and played to them perfectly,” Ben says.

The property’s design offers functional, comfortable living, with plenty of features, big and small, which make family life a breeze.

“The floorplan has put the main suite quite far from the kids’ rooms, providing peace and solace for the parents,” Ben says.

Built for comfort, the main bedroom has a his and hers style walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite with a double spa bath and the same horizon views as the rest of the home.

“The master bedroom’s ensuite is one of the largest I’ve ever seen; it’s unique,” Ben says.

Communal spaces in the property have had the same sort of care put into the design.

“Safe to say the inclusions in this home are next level. The kitchen has a large walk-in pantry as well as two Miele ovens, a 600 mm Miele 5-burner gas cooktop and an Asko dishwasher,” Ben says.

“But beyond the more obvious features, this home has so many hidden inclusions which make daily living so easy.”

Features like Daikin 25 kW ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, double-glazed windows, a 6.5 kW rooftop solar system, a two-car garage, fibre to the premises, a 6 EER rating and Rockwool Sound-Deadening walls go a long way to creating a comfortable home life.

One stand-out feature is the home’s cubby house, made famous after photos of the replica of the home in Disney Pixar’s movie Up did the rounds on social media and news.

“It came about when the owner’s son was watching Up and he asked his dad if he could build a cubby house for him. The rest is history. It’s the most famous cubby house in Canberra.

“The cubby house is built to the same quality as the house, it has insulation, downlights, power from the garage and it’s survived some pretty hefty storms,” Ben says.

The property’s outdoor space also includes two different entertaining platforms, one with a firepit.

Perfectly positioned for a family, 35 Florence Fuller Crescent is close to local schools, shops, cafes and restaurants.

“Some of the best schools in Canberra are nearby, St Clare of Assisi Primary and Lanyon High are less than a kilometre away,” Ben says.

With stunning views, extensive outdoor space, a unique design and an ideal location, 35 Florence Fuller Crescent provides the kind of lifestyle that families dream of.
