42 Mawson Drive, Mawson

Behind private eletronic gates, the low-slung profile and U-shaped entry to this family entertainer in Mawson gives a nod to a charming aesthetic – a vibe emphasised by a garden-lined pathway crowned with a dazzling feature maple. Inside, the single-storey layout, with its high, origami-inspired ceilings and shoji-style glass doors to the main living areas continue that theme, but the spaces are all-Australian with banks of full-height windows ushering in the glorious northern and eastern sunlight to reveal voluminous rooms where large family groups can gather. The bulk of day-to-day living will likely be in the kitchen and open family and dining room where a rare quadruple aspect brings lush views that are cocooning, private and soothing and there is convenient access to a lovely courtyard. The sunken formal lounge opens to a raised deck which in turn leads to a large paved terrace that is ideal for toddlers to ride trikes and scooters and older kids to set up a basketball or netball ring. The master bedroom occupies an entire wing and features a large ensuite plus access to the deck, while three bedrooms in the opposite wing are serviced by a family bathroom. This ultra convenient address is a short stroll from sports fields and within walking distance of Mawson Primary School, Mawson shops and Marist College. Drive to Woden Town Centre and Canberra Hospital within 5 minutes.
