Re-configured and designed by local award-winning architect Nino Bellantonio to capture the best of the sun-drenched northern aspect, this very private, beautifully presented, extended and updated, split-level family home nestled in a family friendly cul-de-sac is a unique offering to the market and definitely has the hallmarks of your potential forever home.
Positioned on an expansive 882m2 block adjacent to reserve parkland, evoking a sense of space and privacy and encompassing three internal bedrooms, a stylishly appointed and multi-functional Roundhouse (Yurt) currently used as the fourth bedroom, two bathrooms, two spacious and separate light filled living areas, a study area, two private courtyards, an outside sunroom (integrated deck) and pretty, landscaped garden, all your entertaining and relaxation needs are comfortably met.
This home comprises two architecturally distinctive living areas. The open plan lounge and dining area feature a fireplace, raked ceilings and skylights and flow naturally to the private and lush front courtyard on one side, and the gorgeous north-facing entertainer’s deck with pergola on the other. The north-facing family room features a wood burning stove, stunning curved walls and windows that create a generous sense of warmth, space and cascading light.
The kitchen which overlooks the pretty back yard and deck has been masterfully updated with new stainless-steel appliances, a breakfast bar, new bench-tops and a stylish tiled backsplash. A light-filled study area adjacent to the kitchen is situated in the heart of the home. A true highlight is the solidly constructed Yurt, permanently positioned in the back yard and currently used as the fourth bedroom but perfect as a home office or studio.
The master suite includes built-in wardrobes and French doors that open to a wonderfully private deck and courtyard. The ensuite is avant garde and screened with clever use of natural landscaping. Bedrooms two and three are mirror image, also with built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom exudes a feeling of relaxation with natural slate tiling, clerestory windows and a leafy green vista through oversized windows. It also includes the European style laundry.
Extra storage is provided with a handy loft, accessed by cleverly positioned pull-down stairs. The loft room has approved plans by architect Nino Bellantonio for conversion into an upstairs bedroom or oversized study complete with orb roof.
A short drive to the City, The Parliamentary Triangle, Woden Town Centre, The Canberra Hospital, Yarralumla and North Curtin Equestrian agistments, and some of Canberra’s best schools is an attractive aspect to this home. Only a 10-minute walk to the proposed Carruthers Street Light Rail Stage 2 extension, close to local amenities including public transport, schools, ovals, parks and shops, this is an ideal location for easy family living.
