Calling all budding topiarists – this could be the home for you.

Exquisitely manicured Japanese box hedges wind around the striking red-brick house at 43 Somerset Street, Duffy.

Dotted with established maples and Manchurian pears that turn a vibrant red in autumn, this 800-square-metre block has the potential to become the suburb’s trophy garden.

“This is a rare opportunity to secure a quality home of generous proportions in a tightly held, premier location,” says agent Alisa Lawrence from Michael Potter Real Estate.

The interiors have been recently renovated, creating clean, light-filled spaces with fresh paint and new carpets.

Wooden accents on internal doors and the striking timber staircase provide a warm contrast to the neutral palette.

The charcoal kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday use, with two Bosch self-cleaning ovens, three pantries, and marble benchtops.

Beyond the gates, the property is situated close to local schools, Duffy Dog Park, the Duffy Shops and playground, Cooleman Court Shopping Centre and the Stromlo leisure and recreational facilities.

The price guide for the March 7 auction is $1.8 million-plus.
