First and foremost, irvine.home is a family home; whatever the shape, size & configuration!

irvine.home is in the perfect location, on arguably Watsons premier, tree-lined street. Direct access to the Watson reserve is just further up the street, and the foothills of mount Majura is a mere few minutes walk. This home is zoned for the best primary, high and college campuses and also has excellent local childcare, shops and doctors in easy walking distance. The farmers market at EPIC is easy distance to walk or ride.

irvine.home has the perfect mix of space, light, warmth, comfort and lifestyle. An updated 60s build has thoughtful tweaks to the layout so this home, although bespoke, is now a space for families to grow: to be happy & secure. A central but modest homestead style kitchen is its heart where you can prep, chat, work, eat, nurse, download, laugh, reflect and entertain. It is flanked by 2 decks: an east facing summer/morning deck with access to the kitchen veggie patch, or the substantial entertainment deck with glimpses of black mountain tower. Alternatively, retreat to one of the 4 flexible and sizeable bedrooms. This includes the huge master suite/teen retreat/grandparent pad with its own deck access (it could even be used as a studio or reimagined entirely).
Or the family can hang out in the enormous front room which is currently a lounge with a formal dining space.
Clever additions to irvine.home include formply flooring laid on top of unfinished floorboards. This builds thermal mass and efficiency. There’s double glazed northern windows and most doors were recently replaced to reduce or remove drafts. There’s block out blinds in 3 bedrooms & main reverse cycle a/c. This all keeps a strong buffer against Canberra’s winters, increases the cozy factor.

All families need storage and irvine.home has ample storage including a built in robe, linen closet, with options to convert the study nook into even more storage! The gorgeous Edwardian pantry also comes with kitchen. The carport has space for bikes, tools, cars, equipment…everything really that a family owns, used and collects.

The gardens are secure so perfect for pets and small children. Yards have been nurtured into low-maintenance bourgeoning lush micro-climates that can help keep the home cooler in the warmest moths. There’s a mix of native, exotic, decorative & productive trees, shrubs, and garden beds. There is space for hide & seek, trampolines, backyard cricket, front yard morning tea, outdoor eating whenever you feel like it!

Secondly, irvine.home is a home that welcomes, shares and entertains. It has hosted slumber parties, dress-ups, feasts (including a toasty fire outside), 18th, 21st & 50ths, the odd daggy disco and endless BBQs. The workbench stays with the deck and is the perfect BBQ spot!

Thirdly, with irvine.home the hard work is done. The gardens are thriving with scope for the green thumb to make it their own. The trades have also been. This is a blank canvas for you to add your, style, your stamp, your imprint. It’s just so easy to imagine living your best Canberra life here.
