The subtle sheen and patina of the wall catches your eye, the entryway quite the formal experience as broad steps usher to a landing where a tiled feature wall almost glows, the dark surface awash with subtle tonal variations. The broad front door hinting at what lies within – grand spaces that flow toward the light, a perfect balance that privatises the master suite and a refined organic materiality and consistent threading of texture and subtle, earthy colour.
 
This beautiful four-bedder was designed with family living in mind and delivers on space and elegant amenity. The smooth rendered form mimics natural clay and rises from behind perfectly edged and landscaped gardens. A driveway curves into a double garage with internal access and beautiful plantings crowd deep garden beds. The locale is perfection – quiet loop street that curves past Ellen Clark Playground, the home nudging Hawker shops, not far from the foodie offerings of Scullin and minutes from the bustling Belconnen precinct.
 
Hardwood timber floors glow golden underfoot and raked ceilings create an airy depth. The vast open plan kitchen, dining and living embracing north-eastern light and gifting a variety of spaces for connection and repose. Glass sliders open wide to a deck and garden with views to the flowering magnolias that edge the fence line. The timber deck wraps around the corner of the home, stepping down to soft lawns and lined garden studio.  There is also a sprawling patio tucked away to the west, sheltered by high walls, gifting the perfect alfresco nook and spot for kids to ride trikes, play handball and basketball.
 
The kitchen floats central, all elegance with its light and dark scheme. There is a long floating island gifting lots of relaxed seating, so friends can gather and small hands can help with food prep. The kitchen offers ample storage, and is complete with walk in pantry. A trio of black pendants softly illuminate and there are quality appliances from Bosch, including a dishwasher.
 
The master has raked ceilings and drifts to a private balcony so you step outside and dwell amidst the trees. Light falls through clerestory windows and there is a large walk-in-robe and an ensuite bathroom. The opaque window is patterned with garden shadows, the floor-to-ceiling tiling is soft eggshell white and delicate ribbon mosaics mimic the delicate bark of gum trees.
 
A long hallway connects three spacious bedrooms, all with built-in-robes and big windows that frame the gardens. There is a large family bathroom with a deep, relaxing bathtub. A ribbon of mosaics echoes the patina effect of the tiled entryway and both bathrooms feature large wall hung vanities, stone counters and epic rain showers.
 
The home is whisper close to Belconnen town Centre and the the Capital Food Markets – exciting European style, with a plethora of dining and shopping destinations.The endless walking trails of Pinnacle Nature Reserve and Lake Ginninderra are close. The home is also handy to transport, public and private schools, the Canberra University, AIS and a mere 11.6 kms to the CBD.
