Roomy, majestic and with more than a touch of Canberra history within its walls, this five bedroom palace in Giralang is the kind of home that stays in a family for generations. The beautiful Tuscan-style exterior, with white-washed walls and terracotta tiles, tells a stunning outside story that leads to an impressive inside story.

Over two levels, the home features five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a total of five separate living areas – including an enormous rumpus room – for family to gather and spend quality time in. It’s testament to the history of the home – and the suburb. Built by it’s current owner’s in the mid-1970s, the home presented the start of a new life in a beautiful new country – and has been in the family, and lovingly and immaculately preserved ever since.

Downstairs is home to the huge rumpus room or self-contained workspace, featuring laundry, bathroom and covered entertaining area. Head upstairs – via the stairs or a wall-mounted elevator – and you’ll find four bedrooms (master with ensuite), a huge formal living area, family and dining rooms, a renovated kitchen and another bathroom. Outside is relaxed and self-sustained living. Spend long summer days on the green lawns, under the fruit trees, and grow your own vegetables for the table.

A rare opportunity to own a beautiful, immense home and a little piece of what makes Canberra so special.
