Down the garden path, past the grevillea garden and into the inviting front foyer. The home welcoming and distinctive from the get-go, as blocks of pastel colour and vintage details deliver personality and warmth. There is a feeling of love, the home re-jigged over the years, opening the social hub to the garden and ushering in a fusion of old and new. Big windows frame the surrounds, think magnificent trees shading soft lawn, meandering garden paths, immersive leafy outlooks from a layering of secluded decks.
This soulful three-bedder has a gentle air and rests on a quiet loop street, just a few steps from a pine dotted playground. This peaceful enclave is having quite the moment, think great community, secret pathways and connection across a shared love of ex-govies. The kids can walk to the local school and playing fields and it is not far to the dynamic Belconnen precinct.
The colour palette combines warm – sand, butter, grape – with the cooler tones of avocado, sea green, lavender. The effect is fresh with a hint of nostalgia, coalescing perfectly with the earthy hues of slate, the golden glow of timber floors. The renovated bathroom and laundry are finished in soft, textured silver greys that nod to the eucalypts that dot the front garden. One imagines feeling transported beneath the gentle flow of the big showerhead, as if standing in bushland beneath open rain.
French doors spill to a large rear deck that floats you among the old growth garden. Here an open pergola is twined with wisteria and climbing hardenbergia is beginning to green the wall. It was a genius idea, to open the social hub – kitchen, dining, living arranged in a flowing curve – to outside decking curated for dining and lounging, perfect for restorative peace and relaxed entertaining.
And we love the kitchen, its pale pink countertops and matching tiled splash back, creamy cabinets with curved open shelves for placing much loved objects. One imagines reaching for a favourite hand-crafted coffee cup, wandering deck side to commune with the magnificent claret ash, the huge bay, Chinese elm, olive trees and myriad of winter roses.
The master bedroom is generous with a big window that frames the front garden, softened by billowing white sheers. Both additional bedrooms also celebrate the leafy surrounds with big windows that welcome light and landscape. The laundry has great storage and opens directly to outside and there is a double metal garage set deep within the block.
Latham is a well-positioned family friendly suburb, surrounded by green spaces, and handy to Brindabella National Park, The Pinnacle, Mount Painter, and Lake Ginninderra. Kippax Fair is not far, and Scullin shops are close to hand, with local favourites including – Sweet Bones Bakery and Café and Muku Ramen Bar. The Belconnen precinct is a few minutes away with its myriad of dining and shopping options, including the Fresh Food Markets. The home is close to transport and a choice of schools. The Arboretum, Bruce Stadium, AIS, the UC are all nearby. It is a mere 16.9 kms to the CBD.
