Set in a peaceful estate boasting green views and a perfect outlook, 6/25 Temperley Street is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom villa in Nicholls hitting the market for the first time in 25 years.

This property, bursting with unique touches, has been tightly held for good reason.

Single level with a low-maintenance garden, this home was built for convenience and ease of living, especially for a downsizer or a family growing with kids who don’t want to spend their lives slaving over their home.

“The home was really designed for easy living. Everything is so easy and features such as an in-built security system, extra storage, a double garage with a workbench and built-in robes go a long way,” Independent Property Group agent Phil Smith says.

Thoughtful design is a running theme with the home; not only is it convenient, but the home’s setup itself takes full advantage of the fantastic surroundings.

“The home is on the verge of a golf course, so it benefits from green views, quiet and far fewer neighbours,” Phil says.

“The beauty of the golf course is that you’re on its periphery, so there is no invasion of privacy, but you get that green backdrop.”

This property is meant to be shared with friends and family – even a glance reveals that its entertaining potential is very special.

The multiple living spaces include the bright living room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a dining space, as well as the less formal open-plan kitchen/sitting room.

“Aspect and positioning could not be any better. All living spaces and the main bedroom have a northerly aspect facing the course, which means light and a lush, green vista,” Phil says.

But the centrepiece of the home is the kitchen, with modern appliances, ample storage and the signature countertop. It’s functional and easy on the eyes.

“The owner helped design the home and they added nice aesthetic touches like the red Italian tile in the kitchen. It’s the heart of the home, and it looks stunning,” Phil says.

“This home is so special, with the bespoke design and practicality. That blend is hard to find, especially with a house of this style.”

In the warmer months, the go-to spot will undoubtedly be the alfresco dining area. Covered by a pergola and surrounded by lush landscaped gardens, it’s the perfect spot for evening drinks or a weekend spent enjoying the views.

“You can just see evenings spilling out onto the alfresco area or breakfasts taking in the morning sun,” Phil says.

“This home really sets the benchmark for villa living in Canberra. Add to that the position near the golf course, as well as the fact that it is in the Gardens Estate at Harcourt Hill, it’s really one-of-a-kind,” Phil says.

The estate is peaceful and carefully maintained. The best of the local area is close by, too, with local shops, restaurants, the Gungahlin town centre and top-rated schools.

Beautifully built, easy to manage and overflowing with entertaining potential, it’s no wonder the same owner lovingly held this home for 25 years.
