Belconnen$690,000+

Whisper quiet, surrounded by green commons and bookended by private courtyard gardens, this peaceful three-bedder delivers a secluded embrace. Think the easy care of a villa, the spacious feel of a house, and a wonderful position, a short walk from the dynamic Belconnen precinct and all the restaurants and bars of Emu Bank. Arterial roads link you effortlessly to the inner north and the CBD, yet the home feels anchored within a decided feeling of remove, a lovely bushland tranquility.

Resting within a quiet cul-de-sac, this effortless three-bedroom townhouse opens to both front and rear courtyards and is arrayed across two light-filled levels. Clever updates enhance the simple liveability of the home – renovated kitchen, modern storage, and RC split systems in every room to keep things temperate all year round.

There is a single garage with an auto-door and direct access into the front courtyard, which feels private and sunny, greened by lawn and clipped hedging. Within easy-care timber laminate floors flow underfoot, and the large living arena draws in light via big windows that frame the secluded front courtyard. This sociable space flows easily into the kitchen combined dining area with its glass sliders that open wide to the rear garden. Here, an elevated terrace allows you to hang alfresco in the sunlight, and a garden gate gifts direct access onto the outside world and the inviting paths that link to parklands, lake, and shops.

A study in minimalist white on white, the renovated kitchen delivers lots of seamless storage and quality all-electric appliances. Big windows above the sink frame the landscape, and there is lots of space for cooking up a storm…think gathering with friends, spilling to the outside, long lunches and dinners to linger over on warm summer evenings.

Upstairs is softly carpeted and given over to three welcoming bedrooms. The master bedroom has the privacy of an ensuite bathroom and lovely views via the big window onto a grove of eucalyptus trees. All three bedrooms have mirrored built-in robes for seamless storage, with the third bedroom serving up an architectural cut-out nook for open display of baskets and books. The family bathroom and ensuite share the same concordant materiality- soft grey tiling and patterned countertops that evoke the texture and tones of river pebbles.

Life in Belconnen –
Walking within nearby parks, ovals…riding bikes around Lake Ginninderra, exploring Mt Painter and The Pinnacle. Gathering for lunch at the Arboretum, exploring the shady Cork Oak Forrest.

Shopping and dining within the dynamic Belconnen precinct, choosing from a bevy of cafes, bars, waterfront pubs, and restaurants. Local favourites include Delhi to Canberra, for great Indian food, and The Lighthouse, for a cool beer on a hot day, right on the water’s edge. Or head to the newly refurbished Fresh Food Markets, grab some groceries, health foods from the nearby Jamison Centre, or visit the famous Aranda shops for great coffee.

Well connected with transport at your doorstep and a variety of schools close to hand, it is an easy drive to the UC, Bruce Stadium, AIS, and easy distance to the CBD.
