40 Cooney Court
CharnwoodAuction 12:30pm Saturday 14 February

Owned and renovated by two creatives, this gorgeous three-bedder delivers a magic combo of 70s modernist lines, pops of beautiful colour and texture. There is a choice of big, airy social spaces, a wonderful connection to outdoors and quiet the impressive cinema room. Established cacti gardens wrap around the home, their undulating colours evoking a soothing sea bed. And the double garage hides a bespoke workshop, distinguished by lofty double height ceilings, hand-crafted timber storage.

Cooney Court rises upwards, past neat rows of brick homes, all simple lines with classic vintage carports. No.40 sits at the top of the hill and enjoys only one shared boundary. The other three sides of the home are edges by communal pathways that allow you to wander to local shops and nearby parklands. The light brick form is sheltered by mature trees and privatised by brick garden walls. A driveway ushers to the impressive double garage that reads like a creative studio.

We love the elevated front porch, the broad timber door inset with vertical strips of glass and the warm welcome into a small foyer. Luxury timber like vinyl floors flow underfoot and everywhere the intrigue of architectural detail, think raked ceilings, exposed beams, pops of colour. From here you can step down into the sunken loungeroom, a sprawling space with a slow combustion fireplace and plenty of big windows, framing the garden.

The upper level is packed with lovely surprises, beginning with the open plan kitchen, dining and living. This wonderful hub opens to a slender board walk, offering three-way entry points – front garden, garage, endless entertaining deck to the rear. Think easy shared time with family and friends beneath the pergola, with enough space for dining and lounging alfresco beneath the fiesta lights.

The kitchen serves up a floating island and a clever space saving, integrated dining table. Banks of kitchen cabinetry line the walls in a combo of faux grains and matt black with delicately patterned worktops. The splashback an intrigue of sea green, etched with patina and subtle patterns. All the appliances are from Westinghouse and include a 90cm oven and electric cooktop and a dishwasher.

A clever re-jig has transformed what once was a third and fourth bedrooms into a big and comfy cinema room with a floating entertainment unit. One imagines decadent movie nights, popcorn and glass of wine in hand. Of course, this space could just as easily be re-purposed as a peaceful bedroom.

The second bedroom serves up floating shelving and sits adjacent to an opulent family bathroom – walk-in-rain shower and feature tiling that nods to the kitchen. Tucked away at the end of the home is the master bedroom, with its walk-thru-robe and ensuite. We love the sunken privacy of the ensuite, its private garden aspect.

This peaceful pocket places you handy to Charnwood Shops, Liquor Legends on Tillyard and Fraser Café. It is not far to Supa barn at Casey and all the enticements of Hall Village and Cockington Green. There are some great wineries nearby and endless walking trails, traversing Mt Rogers and Dunlop Grasslands. The home is also handy to local schools and the Belconnen precinct, AIS, UC and GIO stadium. It is just 12 kms to the inner-north, and 20 kms to the CBD.
