166 Castleton Crescent, Gowrie :: karen rush real estate

Built by Regal Homes in 1982, this versatile property showcases many of the unique features that when built, made Regal Homes stand out from the crowd from many properties in Gowrie and Fadden. Included in the design is a large formal loungeroom at the entrance level; a sunken dining room which leads to the spacious kitchen through one door and the light filled family room through another; a master suite where the robes and ensuite are on one level and the bedroom on a lower level. Both the family room and master suite open out to an attractive walled courtyard. The open plan look from the loungeroom to the high ceiling on the lower level adds to the sense of space in what is already a very spacious home.

This is a 3 bedroom ensuite home with a generous living area of approximately 150.41m2 (16.19 Sq) and you will be pleased to know that much of this space is devoted to the three living areas and kitchen. On top of this, there is an approved studio with its own kitchen and bathroom - read on below to find out more about this additional space.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Approved Studio - this is a separate dwelling to the main house and comprises a very large room with kitchen facilities (no stove), a bathroom containing a shower, toilet and vanity, a full wall of glass at the front including a glass sliding door and a rear door from the kitchen to the back yard. The studio is equipped with a split system airconditioning unit for winter warmth and summer cool and in the non wet area there is a carpeted floor.

This was formerly a brick double garage which has been extremely well converted into the existing studio/workshop. The conversion was approved in 2004. There are so many uses for the area and some suggestions are - accommodation for visitors; a teenager's retreat; a space for elderly relatives who need both care and independence; a craft room; or terrific home office where you can get away from it all and work creatively.

This is a property with so many unique and versatile features that you really need to see it for yourselves. Close to Erindale, the Tuggeranong Hyperdome and at the top end of Tuggeranong for a quick trip to Woden, it is absolutely ideal in terms of location. But for me, it is the design and living areas that are the main attractions.
