Modern, sleek and full of surprises, 18 Sundew Crescent in O’Connor is a newly constructed five-bedroom, three-bathroom property waiting for the first family to call it home.
The home’s layout and design are great for a family, especially one looking to upsize somewhere where everyone has room to roam.
The main bedroom is perfectly appointed for privacy and peace, with a private balcony, an ensuite with a bath and a large walk-in robe. The best part is that it’s set up in its own wing on the top floor, so it’s nice and quiet.
On the ground floor, another bedroom has an ensuite, perfect for an older member of the family or a guest who needs their own dedicated space.
“There are not many homes of this type in Canberra, with this kind of space, especially this close to town,” Altair Property Director and Agent Andrew Potts says.
Space is a major draw with this home. The interior living area is 327 sqm. It boasts a large family/dining room downstairs, a front lounge room with a gas fireplace, a secondary living space upstairs and a retreat/rumpus space on the basement floor.
“The basement is unique. At 212 sqm, it comfortably fits eight cars, and in terms of storage, you can’t beat a basement. Plus, there’s the rumpus room, which could be anything: a home gym, an office, a retreat or a theatre room,” Andrew says.
That’s to say nothing of the kitchen, with granite tops, a butler’s pantry, Smeg, Liebherr and Bosch appliances and a bar area attached. There’s no telling what a home chef could do with such an asset.
The home has a large stairwell, too, epitomising the home’s focus on functionality and aesthetics. It provides internal access to the basement while also acting as a light well.
“It brings it so much light; it’s such a big open area,” Andrew says.
Designed by local firm Quest Architecture, the architects focused on creating a comfortable luxury home that perfectly integrates the spacious, sleek indoor spaces and the beautiful outdoor area.
With that in mind, the living area, with its 2.9-metre ceilings, recycled timber flooring and large windows, opens seamlessly out into the alfresco/pool area.
“The design of the home is something everyone keys in on. The flow from the inside to the outside is great, and the living spaces look out over the pool, so it acts as a feature. It’s such a practical yet stylish home,” Andrew says.
Summer days by the pool are going to be a must for whichever lucky family moves in here. Summer nights, too, as the pool is beautifully lit. In fact, there’s no reason to limit pool days to summer as it’s heated.
“The only thing better than a pool is a pool with an alfresco area and this one is really special. With a fully equipped kitchen, built-in barbecue, bar fridge and sink, it’s missing nothing,” Andrew says.
Situated in the inner-north suburb of O’Connor on an 820 sqm block on a quiet street with a park opposite, the home is peaceful and quiet while being easily accessible to the best that Canberra has to offer.
“It’s the best of both worlds, really. It’s a tucked-away hidden gem but also so close to the city. There are no neighbours to the front, it’s easy to get anywhere by road and light rail, and local shops and cafes are all at your disposal,” Andrew says.
The architects wanted the home to be practical as well as stylish, which is why the home is overflowing with convenient features like a 30-panel 13 kW solar system, an automated irrigation system, and a dual reverse-cycle aircon system to make daily living easy.
Practically designed, with heaps of living spaces, a stunning outdoor space/alfresco area and a stylish modern design, 18 Sundew Crescent brings privacy and convenience together in one package.
