5 MacGillivray Street, Yarralumla, ACT 2600

This breathtaking architecturally designed family residence is impressive the moment you enter and comes with an incredible range of desirable features located 500 metres from Yarralumla Bay. 

With meticulously curated amenities and exceptional finishes, including Vratza Bulgarian limestone floors and Marron Emperador marble, this home is crafted to meet the highest standards and exceed expectations. 

The property features an enormous 10-car basement garage with viewing windows from the level above, accompanied by bespoke wine cellar and tasting room with a custom granite table. It also offers a theatre or games room and spacious living areas, including a sunken lounge, reflecting its design as a refined entertainer's retreat. 

As expected in a home of this calibre, the kitchen promises a fabulous culinary experience with stainless-steel benches, marble island, a range of Miele appliances including gas & induction cooktop, an oven plus a combo microwave and 2nd oven in the walk-in pantry - among its many impressive characteristics.  

Easily accessed via the adjoining family room, the alfresco is an inspired combination of terraced decking, covered patio and a superbly equipped outdoor kitchen centred around a marine-blue pool and spa amongst beautifully manicured gardens - the picture-perfect setting for casual and formal occasions. 

The outdoor spaces are equally refined, with two private terraces - one extending from the living room, and home office with private courtyard plus another from the front bedroom - all with external access surrounded by stunning manicured hedges and Japanese maples. By day, the greenery offers serene beauty, while at night, carefully positioned lighting enhances the atmosphere with subtle elegance. 

There's also a terrace to the primary suite upstairs where sunsets can be enjoyed over the parklands. The entire upper level is dedicated to a serene parent's retreat. A meticulously designed dressing room allows easy wardrobe organization, while the opulent ensuite indulges with a spa bath and rainfall shower. A loft with elevated treetop views offers a quiet space for relaxation. 

A second ensuite bedroom on the lower floor is ideal for guests, while a rear bedroom features a charming upholstered love seat within a bay window. Another bedroom includes a loft, adding character and functionality. The highly versatile floorplan allows for the office and rumpus room to be easily converted into extra bedrooms, offering exceptional versatility. 

Commanding a premier position on a quiet, leafy street, this home's proximity to Lake Burley Griffin is further complemented by easy access to elite schools, Yarralumla shops, National Triangle, and CBD.
