Family life is played out within the warming northern sunlight, the social hub invitingly open, calm and bright. A thoughtful renovation has delivered a Scandi feel to this charming three-bedder. Golden hardwood timber floors stretch to meet white washed walls and big windows welcome light and landscape. The kitchen spills to an enormous, sheltered alfresco space, so you can gather and celebrate while the kids tumble on the park-like expanse of flat lawn.
 
This classic red brick house sits behind deep front gardens, all soft green lawns and rock edged garden beds. There is a private driveway ushering to a semi-enclosed two car tandem carport and the garage beyond. We love the mosaic tiled front porch, its views across the garden and the vintage iron screen door. It all shouts welcome home and feels in-tune with the whole friendly community vibe that is Scullin. Think a surrounding of parks and a lively local shopping precinct, and home to the local meet and greet hub – Sweet Bones Bakery and Café.
 
A wall of mirrored glass reflects the sunshine, the whole open plan living, dining and kitchen aglow. The timber floors are consistent throughout and serve up a grounding warmth. The kitchen introduces a shimmering note of taupe, and rows of cabinets in crisp white add to the seamless aesthetic. The appliances are all electric and there is a lovely open conviviality across the generous dining and living space, which includes a slow combustion fireplace for cool winter nights.

There are three serene bedrooms and a minimally appointed family bathroom in concordant white. Two of the bedrooms have built-in-robes and all three rooms have large windows that capture leafy garden views. Throw in a European laundry and you have an elegant, refreshed family sanctuary in a great location and with a wonderful connection to outdoors.
 
The covered entertainment space extends the lived experience into the garden and one imagines whole summers spent dining and lounging outside. There is so much space here, both within the sheltered arena and beyond, where green lawns stretch on forever, dappled by the shade of mature trees. It’s the kind of outdoor life that is just perfect for kids, with lots of space to play and romp. You can grow veggies, care for goldfish in the pond and get creative, planting your very own garden oasis.

An easy stroll to Sweet Bones Bakery and Café sets the tone for this vibrant pocket, with local favourites including Muku Ramen Bar and Change Yoga Studio.

Surrounded by parks and moments from Pinnacle Nature Reserve, the home is minutes to Belconnen’s dining and shopping, close to schools and transport, near the National Arboretum Canberra and University of Canberra, and just 15 minutes to the CBD.
