If you’re looking for a newly built house in an old Canberra suburb, this knock down-rebuild property could be for you.

The open-plan, four-bedroom house was built just six years ago and includes a number of stand-out features set to catch the eye of any buyer.

The house opens onto a front living area which could be used as a small lounge, reading nook or study. A glass wall creates the illusion of extra space.

Just around the corner is the large, tiled, open-plan living and dining area, divided only by a set of steps and a glass fireplace. The flames radiate warmth in the winter months, and also create a striking visual focal point.

The nearby kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a five-burner stove, a hidden dishwasher and plenty of cupboard space.

A remote-control skylight above the sink lets in extra light, either by opening the window or the venetian blinds. Conveniently, the window automatically shuts if it rains.

The living-dining area opens onto a private covered patio overlooking half of the backyard.

The block is lined with raised garden beds, while a hedge at the rear of the property and established trees beyond the fence add privacy.

The standout out room for moviegoers and sporting fans is set to be the home theatre room, including a projector, screen and one of three Foxtel outlets. The owners are willing to negotiate the two staggered rows of electric reclining leather seats and surround-sound system.

The spacious master bedroom is segregated at the front of the house and includes a large walk-in wardrobe with swathes of shelving and hanging space.

A large double vanity unit is located in the centre of the en suite, with a glassless shower hidden behind one side and a separate toilet behind the other. Added luxuries include in-slab heating and a separate powder area.

The remaining three bedrooms are at the opposite end of the house, one with a walk-in wardrobe and two with built-in wardrobes.

Nearby, the main bathroom includes a large shower, a huge basin and mirrored cupboards, with a separate toilet down the hall.

The owners have thoughtfully designed the house, reflected in extra inclusions, such as the ducted vacuum system, extra built-in storage throughout and the spacious garage, which includes enough space for three cars, custom-built cupboards, access to the backyard and a reinforced loft.
