The single-level, four-bedroom home at 23 Terewah Circuit in Kaleen has been freshly custom-built for low-maintenance family living that will stand the test of time.

From its striking WeeJasper Bluestone feature wall facade to its designer kitchen, Luton licensed agent Adrian Giampietro says it won’t be easy for buyers to find something else like this in Kaleen, let alone achieve it themselves from scratch.

“With the cost of buying a block of land and building a home like that today, it’d be very, very difficult to do and to get it to that beautiful high level of finishes and inclusions,” he says.

The home’s sprawling single-level floor plan fits three separate living areas (not counting the outdoor alfresco area) so everyone can find their own space and do their own thing.

“We’ve had a couple of busy open homes here and it felt like the home still had space for more people, so it would definitely make a good family home for people with multiple kids,” Adrian says.

“It would even suit multi-generational living. It’s all one level, has no stairs and is completely flat, so you could have your grandparents stay here and be completely comfortable.”

Adrian says the design has been made possible by the wider and more private blocks which distinguish Kaleen from the neighbouring Gungahlin district.

But it’s the jaw-dropping designer kitchen with Caesarstone, Silestone and timber finishes that takes the top spot on his list of favourite features.

An imposing 40-millimetre stone island bench top takes centre stage, flanked by an integrated dishwasher, walk-in pantry and lots of storage.

Engineered timber flooring and 2.55 metre-high ceilings connect the kitchen to the adjacent open-plan living and dining area with a built-in entertainment unit and integrated ceiling sound system.

Take a few more steps outside and you’ll find yourself on a covered, tiled alfresco area overlooking a low-maintenance yard with landscaped hedges and trees and a large grassed area.

Outdoor entertaining is made easy by a ceiling fan, downlights, integrated speakers and an in-built kitchenette featuring a gas barbecue, sink, stone bench and cabinetry.

“You’ve got that beautiful northerly aspect there, so it’s nice in the winter and you won’t feel too cold out there on a sunny day in Canberra,” Adrian says.

“Because it’s actually covered and built properly as part of the home construction, it’s not going to get too hot in the summer either.”

Two more indoor entertaining areas, including a spacious lounge, a dedicated theatre room, and a study, are positioned at the front of the home.

The north-facing theatre room features a built-in entertainment unit, ceiling sound system and custom heavy curtains and blinds that turn the space completely black – perfect for recreating the cinema experience.

Four spacious bedrooms on the opposite side of the home will be kept warm during winter by full reverse-cycle air conditioning, which extends throughout the entire house.

The master suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the remaining three bedrooms all have built-in robes and are close to the home’s main bathroom and powder room.

Plus there’s an oversized garage with room for two cars for commuting or driving a short distance to Westfield Belconnen, the Northside Hospital, University of Canberra and GIO Stadium.

The home at 23 Terewah Circuit in Kaleen will go to auction on Saturday, 15 July, at 2 pm. It is open for inspection on Saturday, 8 July, from 12:45 pm to 1:30 pm.
