CampbellAuction 5:30pm Thursday 5 March

Big windows capture the glorious gardens that wrap around the home at every turn. Beautiful light tinges the wasabi green walls, so sometimes they read yellow or chartreuse, by afternoon a deeper shade of green. The home very much in tune with nature, light, the changing seasons. Standing in the big country kitchen you can feel this transparency…maple, liquid amber and claret ash, speak from the frontage, adjacent social spaces glow golden in north-easterly sunshine and a huge desert ash dapples the lawn in the big curve of the backyard.

This sprawling four-bedroom, double brick home is classic old Campbell with a few modern twists. The corner position gifting a feeling of space, a lovely openness that is also profoundly private. Big white timber casement windows, pitched terracotta rooftop and decorative iron veranda balustrades complete the picture. While inside vintage details double down on the soulful vibe; high ceilings, decorative cornices, original mantle, dimpled glass partition, bespoke timber window pelmets.

There is a big welcoming foyer, a tranquil adjoining living and dining spaces and a big central kitchen combined meals with a clever study nook. French doors open the north-easterly living spaces to the veranda and garden. Here the decking has expanded the alfresco space, stepping down to float you amidst the garden. The whole home informed by an ease-of-living and a gentle enveloping palette, evoking summer days, shared family time and lots of welcome tranquillity.

The central hub has room for everybody and even includes a central island on wheels, so it can be pushed aside for entertaining. Cabinets are soft buttery yellow and there is plenty of storage including a full-height pantry. A floating desk extends along one wall so kids can do homework together and you can work from home. And there is enough space for a big family table so daily rituals can unfold with relaxed togetherness.

All four bedrooms have built-in-robes and big windows that frame the nostalgic old-growth gardens. The three-way family bathroom can handle rush hour and there is also a laundry with great storage and direct access to a deck and vegetable garden. Throw in a garage with internal access and a big, fenced yard, with plenty of space to play and relax, and you have a family haven, on the perfect street, moments from buzzing café scenes and the CBD.

Resting at the foot of Mount Ainslie and bordered to the south-east by Mt Pleasant nature reserve, a stone’s throw from Braddon and the CBD. Campbell offers the best of city living and rural retreat. Shouldering Anzac Parade, War Memorial, Defence Academies, Lake Burley Griffin, the home is also close to George Cross Park and Legacy Playground. The local Campbell shops, offer a great bakery and café, while the nearby Campbell 5 is one of Canberra’s most popular and vibrant pockets, with its collection of sought after bars, restaurants and cafés. The city centre is a short pleasant away and it is not far to the ANU, CIT, private and public schools and transport, including the new metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
