A view over the historic rural property of Gungaderra can be enjoyed from this beautifully presented, contemporary home, the attractive garden sheltered by a graceful Chinese elm. The location offers a sense of space, peacefulness and the twittering of abundant birdlife!
Neutral tones and bagged exterior finish enhance strong street appeal, while the wide front terrace offers a quiet spot to enjoy the outlook and a morning coffee. The entry opens into the spacious formal lounge and dining, which take in the view. Fresh décor throughout, modern blinds, downlighting, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling add to style and comfort.
A generous stone island bench with breakfast bar is the hub of the open plan casual living area, furnished with large glossy tiles. The sleek kitchen features a gas cook top, stainless steel oven and dishwasher, a pantry and wine rack. From the family/meals area a sliding door opens onto the attractively landscaped rear garden and an extensive, covered entertaining area. Sheltered by hedging, this outdoor living space is inviting year round, fairy lights adding a sparkle.
The segregated master bedroom has a private outlook over the entertaining area and offers an ensuite and a walk-in robe. Each of the three other bedrooms feature built-in robes and Roman blinds. The modern main bathroom offers a bath, shower and a separate w/c.
There is convenient access into the family room from the double garage, which is equipped with an automatic panel lift door. There is also access into the attractive, low maintenance and safely enclosed rear garden, where Crepe Myrtle and a maple add a seasonal splash of colour. Paved pathways extend around the home and there is a garden shed.
It would be hard to imagine a more convenient location, with easy access into the City or Gungahlin Marketplace on light rail, and it is a short walk to either of two stops, or to the Franklin Woolworths supermarket and coffee shop, as well as Harrison primary school and Franklin early childhood centre. And just across the road is a nature trail, while mountain bike trails are nearby and it is only steps to a park with play equipment at the end of the street, dotted with grand old eucalypts.
This home offers a rare opportunity to step back from the bustle of everyday life in an increasingly urbanised environment and to enjoy all that the home and location have to offer, while being able to enjoy the convenience of the new light rail system.
