8 Wilmot Cres, Forrest ACT 2603

A rare opportunity to secure a classic heritage Canberra residence of timeless elegance on an expansive 2932m2 elevated block in one of Forrest's most prestigious streets. This much-loved single-level residence offers a harmonious blend of grandeur, warmth, and lifestyle appeal, framed by a prized true north aspect and captivating treetop outlook. A meandering floorplan that is both enchanting and flexible.

Set high above the street with a semi-circular gated drive, this estate impresses with its scale and charm. Generous proportions teamed with rich hardwood floors, soaring high ceilings with ornate cornices, and classic details add to create an inviting ambience. Grand living areas with detailed brick fireplaces are of breath-taking proportions suitable for larger families, and picturesque floor-to-ceiling farmhouse windows flood the interiors with natural light. A clever separation of the living zones again allows for daily comfort, with an informal meals and living areas spilling off from a large functional kitchen, yet out the back a more kid friendly zone, television room or playroom, complete with built in bookshelves and access onto the back lawn. The accommodation is both substantial and flexible, comprising five spacious bedrooms and multiple ensuites/bathrooms.

Set on a substantial block with a wide frontage, the grounds offer a true sense of retreat with genuine privacy and an array of established shrubs and flowering ornamentals. Truly, a blue-chip address, estate-like presence, and rare scale, this is a once-in-a-generation offering in one of Canberra's most tightly held suburbs.
