94 Wybalena Grove
CookAuction 9:30am Saturday 13 December

Beautifully renovated and extended Wybalena townhouse with two bedrooms plus multipurpose studio and coveted private garage.

Wake to the trill of birdsong, cedar doors flung open to the balcony… big sky views, below all the textures and colours of the garden. Downstairs bankable glass doors give way to outside, allowing northern sunlight to reach deep within the plan. First up is a mountain walk, followed by coffee at Little Oink…later you will fill your baskets with fresh produce from Belconnen Markets. Come evening you welcome friends…drifting deck side, drinks in hand, a cornucopia of plantings, falling away to the tranquillity of the bush beyond.

This sumptuous Wybalena home is quite the entertainer’s wonderland. A wall of glass frames the landscape and there is the perfect combo of openness and privacy. Two peaceful bedrooms with stackable glazings onto the wide upper decking occupy the upper level, along with a delightful multipurpose room/yoga space/studio. The luxury bathroom features slate mosaic tiling in forest green and a relaxing tub. The home both intimate and open, playful and soothing, informed by the evergreen spirit of its enveloping habitat.

The famed organic form – terracotta rooftops, clinker bricks, oiled timber – has been extended and imbued with a particular love and care. There are so many distinctions – the enlarged upstairs studio, the extended living space, the beautifully renovated kitchen and bathroom, extended and private timber decks, new double glazing and secure garage, just to name a few.

Spotted gum timber floors gleam underfoot and walls are freshly painted gallery white. The kitchen was designed by MMM interiors and features crisp white cabinetry set against black stone worktops with a hint of sparkle. There are quality appliances from Miele and a dishwasher from Siemens, so you can cook up a storm with love and ease.

The dining space flows to a merbau wrapped alcove, a gas fireplace gifts a radiant warmth in winter, while in summer the wall of glazing can be banked to welcome cooling cross breezes. Entertaining is perfection with a fully automated sun awning that shades the entire deck, reaching over the garden – a native array including tree ferns and grass trees.

The master bedroom features new cedar doors that make the most of light and aspect, opening wide, so the deck becomes an extension of the room. There is a wall of mirrored robes and an adjacent second bedroom also with excellent storage. The adjacent studio space delivers incredible flexibility, think yoga room, creative studio, home office or spill over guest accommodation.

Nestled on the slopes of Black Mountain, within the coveted suburb of Cook, the home is enviable for its easy proximity to a mix of bohemian cafes and larger metropolitan centres. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes’ drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes’ drive to the CBD and the ANU.

Designed by the famous architect, Michael Dysart, Wybalena Grove is an example of the 20th century Sydney regional style. Collaboratively built, the buildings were designed to blend within the site, offering a combo of seclusion and easy access to communal spaces. Playing oval, tennis courts, pizza oven and children’s playgrounds, engender a lovely, shared spirit. A solar generation system powers the lighting to the public areas.
