With more than 3100 square metres of landscaped grounds, it comes with a resort-style swimming pool and full-sized tennis court.

The four-bedroom home has been updated with all the modern comforts while preserving its timeless character.

You’re welcomed by formal living and dining spaces with a gas fireplace. From the well-equipped kitchen, dining room and large family room, plantation shutters offer a peek out to the resort-style backyard.

Out there, beautiful landscaping wraps the in-ground swimming pool and separate gas-heated spa. There’s also plenty of space for relaxing or entertaining guests by the pool, with views of the tennis court.

All four bedrooms enjoy leafy garden views. The substantial main-bedroom suite has room for a sitting area, alongside an en suite and generous storage. Two of the remaining bedrooms share access to a central study, while the fourth sits privately.

The main bathroom is elegantly appointed with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a free-standing bath, while the floors and towel rails are heated.

Tucked downstairs is a sprawling six-car garage, a rumpus room – which would comfortably accommodate a gym – with a bathroom, plus a cellar and laundry.

What the agent says

“This is a truly exceptional Forrest home. It’s been beautifully updated with timeless interiors, and with the pool, full-sized tennis court and over 3000 square metres of magnificent landscaped grounds, it’s made for entertaining. Being so close to grammar schools and Manuka is also a real advantage.” Mario Sanfrancesco, Blackshaw Manuka
