Many homes claim to do it all but few actually do. 15 Weston Street, a four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse in Yarralumla, has everything, plus a few surprises up its sleeve.
Designed with a downsizer in mind who still wants to have a whole lot of space and refuses to compromise on inclusions, this property, spread across three floors, does nothing in half measures.
The ground floor is dominated by the living spaces, with a split-level dining and living room serviced by a show-stopping kitchen which features a Zip Tap, Miele appliances, a warming drawer, a five-burner stove top and extensive storage space.
“The kitchen is very impressive and the split-level design, combined with the high ceilings and the high window, takes great advantage of the northerly aspect,” McIntyre Property agent Colin McIntyre says.
Making up the remainder of the ground floor is a laundry room, powder room, large study and a huge master bedroom.
“The master bedroom sort of embodies the whole design philosophy of the home. Everything is done to the fullest,” Colin says.
“To that end, the room itself is very large, it has a large walk-in wardrobe and the ensuite is a full-sized bathroom, with a double vanity, large bathtub and a separate shower.”
Remaining bedrooms have a similar amount of space, with the second bedroom upstairs acting as a second suite, with a built-in robe and an ensuite bathroom, making it ideal for guests.
The basement floor is a story in itself and it’s absolutely packed with features.
A massive three-car garage is already a real asset but the current owner installed a powered car turntable, making parking effortless.
“You just have to nose in, press a button and you’re where you want to be. It’s an extraordinary feature,” Colin says.
The garage also features a lift up to the ground floor, along with wall-to-wall storage space and a storage room.
But the main story is the rumpus space, centred around a huge temperature-controlled wine cellar with keypad entry that holds more than 1200 bottles of wine.
“What a space like this means is that the owner of the home has somewhere to retreat to, to watch their favourite show, read a book, have a glass of wine. This kind of quiet, private space is invaluable,” Colin says.
But a wine cellar and a basement turntable are just the big ticket inclusions; smaller but no less impressive features include an underfloor safe, walk-in linen room, double glazing throughout, extra storage, a 28-battery solar system with a battery, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, automatic garage lighting and much more.
Fifteen Weston Street is also a separate title home, meaning the owner won’t have to worry about strata fees.
A position on a quiet street in the suburb of Yarralumla means that the owner can take full advantage of the best of the Inner South.
“You could easily walk to the local shops, Deakin shops are a short drive away, obviously the Kingston foreshore isn’t far and if you’re a golfer, the Royal Canberra Golf Club is a few streets away,” Colin says.
“And of course, from this part of Canberra, it’s a breeze to get just about anywhere. The centrality is a real bonus.”
With a dizzying amount of features, a forward-thinking design and a location that puts the best of Canberra at your fingertips, 15 Weston Street is an outstanding home in every respect.
