Home of the week: Waterfront home gives ultimate point of view

27 Evadell Street, Gungahlin

Price guide: $800,000+

Waterfront living is always sought-after in Canberra despite its inland setting.

Properties that offer uninterrupted water views are few and far between and when they do hit the market they are hotly contested.

This stunning four-bedroom property on the edge of Yerrabi Pond is one of Gungahlin’s finest waterfront homes, designed to capture the sweeping vistas.

It occupies a commanding position on the corner of Evadell Street and Strayleaf Crescent and features expansive windows that bring the outside in.

A bright open-plan living room greets you upon arrival and is framed by curved windows overlooking the water.

The kitchen features a smart, contemporary design with stone benchtops and stainless steel appliances.

The kitchen opens onto the family room and a covered alfresco area – also perfectly positioned to take in the surrounds. The alfresco area provides the ideal setting for long, lazy Sunday breakfasts or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun sets over the water.

There are four bedrooms upstairs and the master suite is spectacular. It mirrors the size and shape of the downstairs open-plan living space, including the curved feature window. A private balcony wraps around the front of the room and there is space for a king-sized bed and a sitting area leaving plenty of room to spare.

A walk-in wardrobe and stylish en suite complete this ultimate parents’ retreat.

There are three additional bedrooms, all situated on the upper floor with built-in wardrobes. They are all double sized and two include private balconies.

The main bathroom is also upstairs and includes a corner spa.

The home is in immaculate condition and there is no wasted space. In addition to the large open living areas, there are plenty of quiet corners for every member of the family including a large study at the top of the stairs and 54 square metres of private balconies.

It has been freshly painted and there are new carpets throughout. Double-glazed and tinted windows offer privacy and other features include a security system, ducted heating and evaporative cooling and a double garage with internal access.

The Waterfront complex hosts a variety of restaurants and cafes and is just metres from the front door.
