17 Wybalena Grove
CookOffers invited by Monday 10 August

Layered living blossoms in a dream bushland setting, complete with mid-century elegance and a fabulous modernist history. This dreamy three-bedder is effortlessly warm and reads like an arty haven set within a blissful oasis. Originally conceived as a four-bedroom home, this generously proportioned townhouse offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate living areas, double carport and kitchen with dining. Set within the strip of tightly held units with at the door parking, No 17 is among the estate’s most desirable offerings – with only a handful of homes enjoying this combination of amenities and larger footprints

The site is iconic – a much-loved visionary multi-res where idyllic townhouses merge with 11 acres of secluded natural bush. Designed by the famous architect, Michael Dysart, Wybalena Grove is an example of the 20th-century Sydney regional style. Collaboratively built, the buildings – terracotta rooftops, clinker bricks, oiled timber – connect with playing oval, tennis courts, pizza oven and children’s playgrounds.

No. 17 is accessed via a double carport complete with a storage cupboard and a pretty front courtyard set with a paved alfresco area. The special layout of this gorgeous home unfolds across three levels with graceful ease. There is a welcoming foyer that gifts intriguing glimpses to the glowing spaces both above and below. The master bedroom sits to the left complete with walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. On the right, the third bedroom or study reads like a cosy secret, with bespoke joinery and lofty raked ceilings.

The upper level is given over to a sprawling living area and a delightful kitchen combined meals. Glass sliders welcome a cathedral of northern light and allow easy drift to a long balcony that gazes across the treetops. The kitchen is beautifully preserved and serves up lots of cabinetry with honeyed trim and matching handles. We love the wall of cupboards that edge the dining space, perfect for pantry storage and earthy ceramics to match the warm timber joinery championed throughout the home.

The ground floor is home to a second living area with textured brick walls painted soft white to match the in-built shelving. Previously the space was divided in two, allowing for a fourth bedroom. There is lots of clever, secret storage and big glass sliders that open to the north and the sunny rear courtyard. Think relaxing beneath the spreading arms of a pink flowering camellia listening to the sounds and calls of the open bushland beyond.

The second bedroom is sequestered to the east and serves up built-in storage and glass doors that open to the garden. Just next door, there is a handsome family bathroom that includes a small bathtub beneath the shower and a seamless European laundry.

Underpinning it all is the special lifestyle – bushland trails, great community, thriving vegetable gardens, shared oval and a decided city meets bush ethos. Cook is coveted for its easy proximity to a mix of bohemian cafés and larger metropolitan centres. It is just moments to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and the café scenes at Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium, and the UC. It is a mere 8.7kms to the CBD.
