More like a house than a townhouse, be impressed! Enjoy the benefits of the upgrades with this energy efficient home!

This lovely three-bedroom ensuite townhouse has the secluded and roomy feel of a house, with its leafy outlook and big courtyard garden. Tucked away within a private avenue, the home feels private from the get-go and serves up a wonderful plan, arrayed across two spacious levels. It is a good life, easy-care, with an old fashioned, invitational tug to shared landscaped gardens, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Fabulous upgrades have been made to make the home energy efficient with all electrical appliances, UPVC double glazed windows, heat pump hot water system plus ceiling and wall insulation.

The home sits at the front of the Karelia Park complex and is accessed via a broad laneway with ample visitor parking and roller door access into a double garage, with the joy of internal access. And the location is perfection – near the foothills of Mount Majura, moments to a cornucopia of wonderful foodie options, endless nearby playgrounds and an easy tram ride to the Braddon Precinct and the CBD.

Living is gorgeously conversational, arranged in a big, sunny open plan and extending straight into the northern garden. Here you can dine and lounge alfresco, privatised by high garden walls and leafy plantings. A garden gate opens onto the lovely common grounds – with an avenue of soft green lawns, birches and pretty maples. In summer there is cooling shade, come autumn a beautiful show of colour, followed by warming winter light.

Within honeyed blackbutt floors flow to meet walls in gentle buff, everything awash with sunshine. The whole home in-tune with nature and cheerful family life, with lots of versatile, open space to set up to suit your needs. Imagine dining, lounging and a study or music nook, so you can get creative from home. The neatly designed kitchen sits nicely in one corner and features plenty of cabinets to keep the clutter at bay and all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher. A breakfast bar lets small hands help with prep and there is that lovely indoor-outdoor feeling, perfect for daily rituals and entertaining. Oh, and there is a big laundry tucked away behind the kitchen with a separate powder room, so no one needs to traipse upstairs.

The master bedroom commands elevated views across the courtyard and the northern gardens. Here glass sliders open onto the deck and can be left open to nice breezes. The balcony would be a lovely spot to spend time with a great book, or evening drinks together after a long day. Great storage and an ensuite complete the picture, think the soft glow of skylight and a calming rain shower. A duo of additional bedrooms capture elevated views and there is a family bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling and subtle notes of light stone and warm timber.

Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. It is a nice stroll to Exhibition Park, host to the famous Farmer’s Market and close to the off-leash dog area and up to Majura Nature Reserve. The Dickson and Braddon precincts are close to hand as is Maliyan Park and the new Inner North Playground. The home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools, close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
