18 Stapylton St, Holder ACT 2611, Australia

Situated on a large block on lush tree-lined Stapylton Street, this expansive home is the perfect family haven. Its blend of contemporary design and classic charm welcomes you from the moment you step onto its beautiful front verandah.

The freshly renovated kitchen boasts a large gas burner and island bench that will inspire family dinners and culinary adventures alike. The open flow guides you upstairs to the large lounge room, which opens up to a verandah with panoramic views across the suburbs to Woden Valley. Also off the lounge room is the home office, large enough for two workstations – its timber aesthetic is sure to motivate.

The main floor houses 3 generous bedrooms, all with built-ins and one with an extra workstation space. The master offers an elegant ensuite for added luxury. The stunningly renovated main bathroom’s refined fixtures and finishes have been curated to provide for an unparalleled pampering experience. And the European-style laundry cupboard keeps life’s necessities practical but out of sight.

But this property has a few more wonders up its sleeve. The lower level includes a fully self-contained granny flat, regularly leased for $300 per week, presenting a golden opportunity for an additional income stream or teenager living quarters.

The newly installed ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling systems will keep you comfortable indoors all year round. But the home invites you to step outside with multiple decks and verandahs, practically begging you to enjoy the winter sun, summer shade and views to Mount Taylor.

The backyard is a sanctuary, reminiscent of a holiday resort and perfect for entertaining. A delightful cubby house will keep children amused, while green thumbs will relish watching the vege patch thrive alongside the well-established citrus trees. Take a dip in the solar-heated, fully-fenced pool, or gather around the built-in fire pit to transform casual evenings into memorable family moments.

Stapylton Street is ideally situated in a highly-sought-after location, close to schools and local amenities. A quick walk takes you to Holder Shops and oval, ensuring your day-to-day necessities are close by. A slightly longer walk will see you at Cooleman Court and its plethora of supermarkets, shops, clubs and dining venues. Adventure enthusiasts will love the proximity to Stromlo Forest Park which provides world-class mountain biking trails and an escape into nature’s playground. It’s also only 15 minutes’ drive to the CBD.

If you want a large home with a resort feel that’s close to everything, perfect for entertaining and adaptable to a variety of living arrangements… you may have just found your dream home.
