Natural landscape holds centre stage in this Farrer delight

No. 29 Waite St in Farrer is for sale.

You might find yourself humming John Williamson’s iconic tune Give Me a Home Among the Gum Trees when you set foot in this peaceful piece of paradise in Farrer.

Designed by renowned Canberra architect Roger Pegrum, the home at 29 Waite Street opens out to a private deck surrounded by a stunning natural landscape including towering trees and a rockery with views across Isaccs Ridge and Mount Taylor.

Peace and quiet.

“It’s one of those homes, as soon as you walk into it you just fall in love with that special feel,” said selling agent Steven Lowe, from Agent Team – Belconnen.

“You feel calm, the deck provides a nice place to relax. I guess that’s why they call Canberra the bush capital.

A gorgeous view.

A peaceful outlook.

“It’s a Roger Pegrum-designed home and what I particularly like about it is that from the kitchen you have views to the west to Mount Taylor and views to the east over the bush reserve, so standing there you get the sunrise and sunset from that one place in the house.”

Built in 1971, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom, split-level home in Farrer offers floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that make the most of the natural outlook.

Perched on a 1184sqm block, the residence has been freshly painted and carpeted. Additional features include a study nook, double glazing and solar panels.

Modern interiors.

“It’s a turnkey property so there’s nothing left to do to it, other than buy it and just enjoy it. Properties like that are rare,” Mr Lowe said.

The home, which is due to be auctioned on Saturday 26 September at noon, is expected to fetch in excess of $1.1 million.
