A very special offering, this warm spirited three bedder plus study has everything you would expect from a classic tri-level Willemsen design floorplan- raked ceilings, split-level living, earthy materiality and a wonderful connection to nature. Floor up timber framed windows converse with the leafy surrounds and light tumbles deep into the plan. Think the thrill of iconic modernist design alongside the contemporary luxury of thoughtful updates – modern kitchen, lots of great storage, and a duo of elegant bathrooms.
Gary Willemsen is famed within the Canberra architectural landscape for his beautiful forms grounded in nature. The Havens is a boutique complex where rows of neat villas, sit shy behind high garden walls. Set on the high side of a quiet loop street the whole enclave enjoys a lovely secluded elevation. There is private road access, lots of visitor parking and neatly manicured grounds. No. 6 is privileged by its corner position – gardens wrap around the home and there is rear gated access onto native commons. There is a double garage with direct entry into the front courtyard with its citrus trees and broad terrace sheltered by a pergola twined with flowering wisteria.
Upon entry, you are struck by a wonderful transparency and openness, the home set across three levels with high voids, open stairs, and layers of glass. The materiality champions the natural – bamboo floors and lots of timber joinery. Crisp white walls reflect the perfection of light and every window frames the landscape. The dining area and kitchen flow each to each and feel conversant with the secluded frontage, providing a lovely call to outdoor reflection, think coffee and wonderful morning light.
The kitchen is welcoming and generous, packed with storage including a corner pantry and includes quality appliances. Black stone worktops waterfall to the floor, coalescing with the black mosaic that decorates the tiled splash back. A big island provides a spot to gather, conjuring scenes of ease – family meals and relaxed entertaining, and glass doors spill out to front courtyard.
The living area is sunken and flows directly to the north, where a leafy courtyard garden provides a sunny spot to gather either on the open-air patio or beneath the sheltering gazebo. The master bedroom is sequestered to one side and welcomes golden northern light. There is the convenience of an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in robe.
Upstairs houses the study/second living that gazes across the eastern void and flows to a northern balcony with treetop views. There are two additional bedrooms on this level as well, both with excellent storage. The third bedroom has the distinction of a private balcony and there is a family bathroom close by with a relaxing bathtub. Both bathrooms are finished concordantly in chic black and white with stone topped vanities.
The home is ideally located just a few steps from Hawker Shops and handy to several schools. There is a surrounding of green spaces, including playing fields and Mt Pinnacle Nature Reserve. It is just moments to the bustling Belconnen Precinct for a cornucopia of eating, drinking, and shopping experiences and not far to the Arboretum and Lake Ginninderra. The home is also handy to the UC, Canberra Stadium and the AIS. It is a mere 9.9 kms to the CBD.
