15 Tasmania Circle, Forrest, ACT 2603

What you see:
Designed by Brian Foskett and inspired by the Blandfordia architecture of the area, this palatial residence is now available to the market for the first time in a generation.

With an elevated north-facing position to the rear, in one of the most prized streets in Forrest, you are situated opposite private reserve-land with uninterrupted views across the Inner South. Welcomed by a large entry arbor  feature with stunning mop top trees you are guided through immaculate gardens towards the home. You enter the home through a wide entrance with beautiful brushbox parquetry flooring connecting you to a sun-filled living and dining area with high ceilings and large north-facing windows flooding the space with natural light.

The home has been extensively updated, renovated and extended to create an impressive 643m² total area under roof. Four large bedrooms each with their own private ensuite complete a versatile and palatial layout which can accommodate a growing family, with a second kitchen at the bedroom wing of the home to facilitate extended family or live-in help at the residence. The sundrenched kitchen and meals area are sided by private tranquil ponds and water features creating visual and spectacular views from anywhere in the room.

Four large living areas offering extensive options for formal and informal spaces, and activity rooms like a gym, library or games room. Outside you'll find extensive established gardens creating an opulent resort style setting, complete with a private 15 metre heated lap pool, 10 person custom designed spa and water pool plus a full size synthetic grass tennis court.

Large covered entertaining areas share garden outlooks across the pool and tennis court with retractable awnings and easy access inside. The rear of the home is privatised by established hedging creating an expansive yet peaceful retreat, in the heart of Forrest.

What we see:
A generational opportunity offered to the market for the first time in 30 years.
