With an oversized timber entry and large windows both upstairs and down, 41A Hawkesbury Crescent in Farrer exudes a sense of welcome from the moment you enter.

Ray White, licensed property agent Sam Pearson, says that the north-facing entertainment areas mean the house is constantly soaked in sun.

“The sun hits the outdoor entertainment area and fills the open-plan living area from the second it rises to when it sets. It’s so beautiful to see,” she says.

“The fact that the sun is always shining down into the backyard is great because the yard itself is spacious, but better yet, it also backs up onto the Farrer nature reserve, so it’s almost like you’ve got two backyards.

“People from around the area love to spend time bike riding, going for runs and walking their pets along Farrer Ridge.”

The unique four-bedroom home offers a mini apartment-style bedroom on the ground floor, complete with its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and custom joinery. It’s the perfect spot for a home office, guests or older teenagers looking to enjoy their own space without leaving the family home.

Sam says the house is very well thought out when it comes to utilising the space, highlighted instantly by the custom joinery under stair storage nook, providing a great way of storing shoes and bags to help keep the area tidy.

Heading upstairs, you are welcomed by a spacious living area featuring large windows, high ceilings and zoned reverse-cycle air conditioning.

The master bedroom is located directly adjacent to the living area, featuring an ensuite with a large shower and gold detailing, a sizeable walk-in wardrobe, and a window to fill the room with sunlight year-round.

“There are skylights strategically placed all around the house, so it’s really bright and welcoming,” Sam says.

Opposite the master bedroom are two more generously sized bedrooms with cosy carpet, walk-in wardrobes and plenty of space for storage.

The kitchen offers a sleek and modern design with black stone kitchen benchtops, a generous butler’s pantry so large it could be mistaken for a second kitchen and premium Bosch appliances – including double ovens making both cooking and entertaining a dream.

The dining and family rooms surrounding the kitchen mean you have the option to either entertain in a formal or more casual setting.

An outdoor area perfectly designed for entertainment, complete with an alfresco kitchen and a covered section overlooking the spacious backyard backing on to the Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve, gives you the chance to enjoy nature while you entertain, as well as plenty of space to add your personal touches to make the yard your own.

Both the Farrer shops and Farrer Primary School are within walking distance, as are Westfield Woden and the Canberra Hospital, while the Mawson shops aren’t much further away, making it a great location to raise a family.

Daggy old Farrer! As an ex-resident of the area I have never heard of Upper Farrer or Farrer Heights. Who falls for this nonsense? Farrer has a good local shopping centre though. Southlands must be the best shopping centre in Canberra for its variety and the wide selection of cultural foods. Not to mention the Halal butcher and vegetables. It will be even better when the light rail goes down Athllon Drive!

From my observations we need more women in the housing industry. Less blokey and a few more women expert in architecture and design who will bring their flair and skills so that properties are less bland and a bit more practical and inviting!
