Love golf? This home will suit you to a tee!

Sit out on the balcony with your morning coffee and watch the golfers at play from this impressive home on the hill in one of Canberra’s most sought-after localities.

Enviably positioned on Harcourt Hill, 1 McRitchie Circuit in Nicholls offers stunning panoramic views of the Gold Creek Golf Course, a fabulous location for keen golfers or those who wish they could land that elusive hole-in-one.

McGrath Canberra sales agent Sam Taylor says the two-story home sits on the high side of the street, capturing fantastic vistas.

“The home is designed to maximise natural sunlight, with north-east facing living areas, and takes in beautiful views from upstairs of the Gold Creek Country Club,” he said.

“The upstairs balcony is the perfect spot to sit and watch the golfers tee-off.

“It’s positioned on the high side of the street, so you feel like you’re nestled in the treetops.”

But this home isn’t just about location. Sam says there’s “a lot to like about it”.

“With 294 square metres of living space, the home is a great size, with large, well-proportioned rooms and multiple living spaces making it ideal for a large family,” he added.

“The bedrooms are upstairs, along with a rumpus room and wet bar that opens onto the balcony. It’s a great spot for the family to hang out or a versatile fifth bedroom for the combined family.”

In original condition, the kitchen is large with double ovens and lots of storage.

The spacious five-metre-long master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe, while the equally impressive guest room has a built-in robe and floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the stunning view.

The home has both formal and informal living areas, ensuring everyone has their own space.

The grand entry foyer leads to the downstairs open plan living areas, as well as a formal lounge and dining area, plus a home office.

“The office is ideal for a home business, with a separate entry and powder room,” Sam added.

The 18-year-old home is solid and has had a recent interior make-over, but the kitchen and bathrooms are waiting for a new family to add their own unique touch.

“It’s been freshly painted throughout, with new flooring downstairs,” Sam said.

“It’s perfectly liveable, although most renovation-savvy buyers looking in Nicholls would want to mark their own personal touch on the kitchen and bathrooms.”

The home sits on an 823 square metre block and boasts a huge double garage with space for a workshop at the rear, as well as plenty of off-street parking for the boat or caravan.

According to Sam, “the home is located in the highly sought after pocket of Nicholls, Harcourt Hill”, close to the Gold Creek Village, with its selection of eateries, shops and the George Harcourt Inn.

The home will be auctioned online on 30 October.
