Both convivial living arenas are graced with light and embrace courtyard gardens, that read like an extensions of the lived space, perfect for quiet moments, cuppa in hand soaking up the sunlight or easy entertaining with family and friends.
A refreshed seperate title vintage villa and its inviting oversized courtyard gardens, feels in-tune with the past, while being refreshingly contemporary in spirit. Soothing white walls reflect a bounty light, streaming from so many over-sized windows. Despite the wonderful transparency the home is super private and drifts to high walled green courtyards on two sides.
The form is all classic light brick, terracotta roof with a privatising double carport, set with built-in-cabinetry for efficient storage. Entry is via a garden gate that gives way to a paved courtyard, teeming with beautiful plantings, perfectly framing the bright sky blue and welcoming front door.
And the locale is perfect…think strolling to the markets for baskets of fresh veggies, or any one of a cornucopia of cafes and shops that populate the vibrant Belconnen hub. Or walking to your choice of eateries and bars that dot the lakes shore, within the popular Emu Bank precinct. The whole enclave interlaced with green by-ways and walking trails, all connecting to the nearby Belconnen Playground and Oval.
We love the expanse of brickwork painted crisp white that stretches the length of the generous front living area. The whole room orientated to capture the textures and tones of the front garden. The room just calling for curated artwork, chosen pieces, perhaps a gorgeous rug to float upon the honeyed floors.
There are so many things to adore…the master with walk-thru-robe, the clever two way bathroom with European laundry. The bathroom elegantly finished in the softest of greys, illuminated by a high skylight, with a tiled shower space, relaxing bathtub and toilet, all nicely separated so sharing is easy.
Soft carpet in warm umber keeps things cosy for sleeping and there is the shared joy of expansive windows that welcomes so much of nature within both bedrooms. The second room nicely sequestered to the west, blessed by afternoon sunshine, the soft leafy allure of a copse of trees.
The centre of the home is the perfectly modernised kitchen which exudes an elemental happiness, a joi de vivre. Perhaps it’s the banks of cabinetry in soft eucalypt green and the array of long and button handles, in pleasing walnut. Or the expansive worktops that greet a splashback that delights in tone and texture, its kit kat array of tiling, pearlescent in hues of white and grey. Or the way the whole space is lit up by sunlight filtering through a large skylight. The open connection with the sunny second living area feels perfectly chatty, the whole space fit for creation and togetherness, spilling to the alfresco rear courtyard
Both gardens, front and back, provide greenery all year round and sheltered spots for restoration and communion. Lovely treetop views can be glimpsed just over the fence line, the home very much benefiting from no adjoining neighbours on one side.
