House of the week: Grand Griffith gem has 2000-bottle wine cellar, eight-car garage
Canberra is great at disguising hidden gem properties. No. 15 Landsborough Street is one of the most unassuming homes you’ll find. Sure, the facade eludes to something special, but you can’t quite anticipate just how spectacular this home is until you’re invited inside.
The grand entrance hall with towering ceilings is only the beginning, but it sure does set the tone. Venture further in, and you’ll find three living areas, plus a separate rumpus room, a private guest suite with a walk-in wardrobe, an en suite and three separate bedrooms.
And that’s just the ground floor.
The main bedroom suite occupies the entire top floor. It’s one of the best you’ll find in Canberra, in small part thanks to the enormous en suite and walk-in wardrobe, but in large part due to the steam room and above-ground outdoor bath, which sits on the private balcony for bathing under the stars.
The basement level is full of surprises, with the most impressive wine cellar – which holds over 2000 bottles of wine – sitting at the ready to host sophisticated wine tastings with groups of friends in stunning surroundings. Adjacent to the cellar is a dedicated cinema room, a gym, an eight-car garage and a showroom for your most prized vehicles.
A heated pool caps off this incredible home, accompanied by an al fresco entertaining area with an in-built lounge for easy entertaining.
“No. 15 Landsborough has been carefully thought out in its design, focusing on a balance between living areas, bedrooms and specialty rooms, such as the custom 2000-plus bottle wine cellar, cinema, gym and car display room. All in all, quite a rare offering,” says agent Michael Lyristakis from Berkely Residential.
This prime Inner South location offers a lifestyle surrounded by leafy green gardens and parks, great coffee spots, fine dining restaurants and the Fyshwick Fresh Food Markets, all within an easy two kilometres.
