Let me take you on a look in at a home in Forrest that was lovingly built by a builder with a vision from the past.

The deep love for classic European estates is evident in the home’s design and that of its surrounding gardens. Being inside any of the rooms for longer than a few minutes makes you forget that you’re in Canberra and places you somewhere in regional France or Italy.

The attention to detail throughout the home, whether it be the French doors, the antique chandeliers, the silk curtains or detailed mouldings and cornice work, just adds to the authenticity of the experience. And that is even before you step into sprawling European grounds that resemble something out of The Secret Garden.

Let Bill show us around and take us to another place and time.
