A meticulously renovated beauty at the top of this glorious suburb!
Nestled behind deep and leafy gardens, this 60s beauty looks every bit the mid-century dream.
Vintage soul and sustainability are perfectly balanced by the classic form of the home with central sandstone clad chimney and a 5-star energy efficiency rating.
The street is quiet and leafy, and the inner north locale connects you to a cornucopia of foodie and cultural offerings.
Hues of green, blue and earthy brown ground the home within the mature gardens, the sweeping natural surrounds, parklands and reserve.
From the olive-green tiled splashback to the aquamarine of the ensuite and the warm tones of the floating floorboards and stone worktops, there is a wonderful vibe.
This is an artful and elegantly refined home.
Two solar systems, full electrification, and a slow combustion wood burner built into the original fireplace combine to deliver year-round comfort with minimal running costs.
The wrap-around front verandah and generous rear decking provide this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, ensuite home with a fabulous connection to nature.
The extension follows the natural contours of the block, pushing the home deep into the garden and providing a private outdoor porch for the grown-ups to relax amidst the fruit trees.
Unique details of the home’s heritage have been preserved, including decorative cornices, internal double doors set with vintage patterned glass, and French doors opening from the living area onto an outdoor sitting area on the front verandah.
Warm timber laminate floors flow throughout, lending a visual and natural cohesion. The living, dining and kitchen area is arranged in a flowing open plan and the double-glazed picture windows welcome a bounty of natural light.
The home effortlessly caters for both lively entertaining and peaceful respite with direct access onto the wonderful rear deck, where there are many spots to enjoy the glorious north-westerly garden.
A bench-level servery window also connects the kitchen to the deck. During the summer, a bespoke shade sail can be hoisted to provide a cooling effect both on the deck and inside the home.
The deciduous maple trees provide additional shade when the weather is warmer and allow the winter sun to warm both the deck and the house during the cooler months.
The over-sized, high-ceilinged master bedroom offers a quiet retreat, sunken and peaceful, full of natural light offering direct access to the gardens.
You have the bonus of an enormous ensuite bathroom with a rain shower, relaxing tub, and plenty of seamless storage.
The three additional bedrooms are also generously sized and two feature large built-in-robes.
The beautifully presented family bathroom services these bedrooms and provides another roomy rain shower.
Outdoors is an absolute haven with the garden featuring a lovely mix of natives, exotics and vegetables amidst fig, pomegranate, nectarine and plum.
The home is moments from Watson shops, where you can enjoy great coffee and fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lolo and Lola.
The Dickson shops, which host to an array of international cuisines, are also a short bike ride away.
The serene Mount Majura Nature Reserve is nearby, and the home is edged by interconnecting green spaces.
An easy drive or bike ride along quiet streets and bike paths will take you to the dynamic Braddon precinct, CBD and ANU.
The home is also conveniently located near a mix of private and public schools and close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
