19 Governor Drive

A statement in design, scale and lifestyle, this exceptional property has been comprehensively reimagined to deliver a better-than-new living experience of remarkable quality and versatility. Welcome home, to 19 Governor Drive, Murrumbateman. Originally architecturally designed with strong visual symmetry and presence, the home has undergone a significant transformation - with high-end renovations and additions elevating it into a complete lifestyle offering. Every improvement has been executed by licensed trades, with approvals in place, and finished to a standard that complements and exceeds the original high-calibre build. At the centre of the home is a breathtaking living domain - an expansive, light-filled extension of approximately 100sqm. Framed by glass and designed to capture natural light, this space connects seamlessly to the outdoors, overlooking the pool and entertaining areas. It adapts effortlessly - whether hosting on a large scale, relaxing with family, or enjoying the openness and calm it provides. The outdoor entertaining zone is equally impressive. A substantial covered and insulated alfresco has been designed for year-round use, complete with tiled flooring, open fireplace, and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with gas cooking, sink and refrigeration. Positioned alongside the pool and connected to the main living extension, it forms a cohesive and highly functional entertaining space. A resort-style swimming pool further enhances the offering, complete with integrated cover for efficiency and ease of maintenance, along with an outdoor shower and seating. Inside, the home delivers flexibility and comfort for modern family living. Two secondary bedrooms have been expanded into suite-style spaces, each with its own bathroom, additional natural light and private courtyard access - ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or independent spaces for older children. The original design elements remain, including a beautifully appointed kitchen with stone benchtops, quality cabinetry and premium appliances, flowing to open-plan living and dining spaces with warm timber flooring. A large media or formal sitting room sits adjacent, ideal for private living, a home office, or conversion to a fifth bedroom. The master suite is privately positioned, complete with walk-through robe and ensuite. A north-facing picture window floods the space with natural light while maintaining privacy and seclusion. Beyond the residence, the substantial shed and workshop include a mezzanine level, with DA approval in place for an additional bathroom - further enhancing flexibility for future use. The grounds are extensively established, creating both privacy and aesthetic appeal. Photinia hedging defines the perimeter, with mature claret ash trees forming a natural internal screen. Ornamental pears line the driveway and parking areas, while improved soil supports lush, green lawns. Bore water services the gardens, with outlets positioned throughout the property. Set on approximately 1.52 acres in a tightly held Murrumbateman location, the property offers an ideal balance of space, privacy and accessibility, all within easy reach of Canberra. This is a home taken to the next level in every sense - thoughtfully designed, extensively upgraded, and ready to be enjoyed without compromise.
