European flair and elegant detailing give this delightful Hughes home a gracious, whimsical air.
Right from the approach, the central doorknob on the front door is a nod to Palladian architecture's focus on balance and symmetry. Colonial-style bay windows continue the characterful trend, albeit with the atmospheric modern touch of up-lit pelmets to the surrounding curtains. In the sunken formal lounge, twin knee walls with delicate columns provide ceremony to an arched opening.
Tasmanian parquetry flooring at the entry flows through French doors to a meals area where a stylish mural is a peaceful setting backdrop. It's a convivial space that harmonises with the adjoining kitchen's bright amenity. Look out for surprise touches like the concealed pass-through to the formal lounge.
Entertaining has been a common theme in this home. There is a charming and relaxed sunroom overlooking the backyard that's ideal for coffee chats, and a kid-friendly games room previously a double garage. The current owners have also appropriated the fourth bedroom as a formal dining room.
Three additional bedrooms, including the main, have built-in wardrobes. All are serviced by a most elegant pristine bathroom plus a shower room.
Set on a corner block, this refined home is just a four-minute walk from the Hughes Primary School and local shops and an easy commute to Woden, Deakin medical precinct and the National Triangle.
