Designed with entertaining in mind, this renovated three-bedder delivers multiple social spaces, including a sequestered sunroom and a sequence of outdoor alfresco decks. The central hub is big and roomy, with lots of space for family and friends. And there is a lovely eclectic air, as modern updates coalesce with vintage details, touches of rustic charm. The entry sequence is something special, think shady front veranda privatised by a magnificent sheltering tree.
There is plenty of scope for the green thumb to go crazy in the big gardens, front and back. Or simply enjoy the outdoor lifestyle, travelling from a choice of curated outdoor rooms to suit any mood or occasion. There is a handy circular drive that sweeps beneath the reaching branches of an age-old tree, past generous garden beds. On one side, a second driveway ushers to a carport and a garage beyond. And the location is central – moments from the Belconnen and Jamison Precincts, close to the foodie hubs of Scullin and Aranda, and surrounded by great schools, parklands and reserve.
The open plan family hub is light filled and spacious, with a clever half wall delineating the living combined dining space, topped with recycled hardwood.
The kitchen is roomy with a wonderful bay window above the sink and lots of storage. There is a chatty connection with the adjacent meals area, spilling to a sequence of decks for both secluded, open air and enclosed alfresco living. Tucked away to one side is a big-hearted sunroom – a second living area really with muntin windows and sliders onto the garden. This lovely space is sunny and private, immediately adaptable to work, rest and play.
The master bedroom has glass sliders that open to fresh air, allowing you to step into the garden. There is a built-in-robe and the privacy of an ensuite bathroom. Both additional bedrooms also have excellent storage and sit close to a family bathroom with a bathtub. Both bathrooms are simply finished in chic battle grey, alongside crisp white. We also love the big laundry, its window of patterned glass and big linen cupboard.
Higgins is a family friendly, quiet enclave known for its leafy streets, parkland and fantastic proximity to the Belconnen precinct, offering a myriad of shopping and dining experiences. The home is handy to Bevan Street Playground and Kippax Shopping Centre, and it is not far to the walking and biking trails of the Pinnacle Nature Reserve and the scenic Shepherds Lookout. Convenient to schools, transport, Lake Ginninderra, the AIS and UC, the home is also approx. 15kms to the CBD.
