Where Bold Design Meets Breathtaking Outlooks
With striking architecture, a bold sense of character, and panoramic easterly views that stretch across Fadden Hill, the pine forests, and out towards Melrose Nature Reserve, this is not your typical family home. Positioned in one of Gowrie's most elevated and tightly held pockets, and directly opposite Wray Place Playground with no homes overlooking it, this is a residence that offers true privacy, exceptional outlooks, and undeniable individuality.
From the moment you walk through the front door, you're met with a breathtaking visual experience. Floor-to-ceiling glazing perfectly frames the distant landscape, allowing light to flood the living space and making the views the hero of the home. Elevated on a split level, the main living area sits slightly above the entry, adding a sense of drama and spatial flow while enhancing the outlook even further.
Built in 1982 on a generous 762m² block, the home spans over 193m² of living and embraces a bold industrial aesthetic, softened by warm textures and natural tones. Exposed brickwork, structural beams, custom industrial ventilation for the evaporative cooling, and vaulted ceilings come together to create a distinctive look that feels both timeless and unique. Fresh carpet underfoot and strategically placed skylights add comfort and warmth, blending design with everyday functionality.
The kitchen continues the home's design language-striking yet practical-with generous bench space, a Westinghouse oven, Bosch dishwasher, and thoughtful flow into the living and dining areas. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or evening entertaining, the ever-changing views provide a stunning backdrop to daily life.
Accommodation is spread across two levels. Upstairs includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the master enjoying an updated ensuite featuring a floating vanity, rainfall showerhead, and classic subway tiles. The main bathroom reflects the same quality and includes a full-size bath. Downstairs, the lower level spans 44.63m² and provides a flexible retreat-complete with a fourth bedroom and an adjoining study. Whether used as a teenager's hangout, guest space, media room or work-from-home setup, this zone adapts with ease.
Step outside and the appeal continues. A freshly oiled balcony leads down via a spiral staircase to a private lower deck with a built-in jacuzzi-perfect for entertaining or soaking in the peace and views. The backyard is mulched for low-maintenance living, while the quiet front loop street invites you to unwind at the outdoor dining area, where distant Brindabella views add to the sense of space and serenity.
Car accommodation is generous, with an oversized single garage on the lower level offering internal access, plus a side carport ideal for additional parking or gated rear-yard entry. Practicality meets design with expansive under-house storage, ducted gas heating, ceiling fans throughout, and an industrial-style evaporative cooling system that speaks to the home's character-driven design.
This is a home for those who appreciate the unique-a property that makes a lasting impression, with views that constantly remind you of just how special this location is. Stylish, functional, and full of soul, this is one of Gowrie's true hidden gems.
