Half way down the quiet, unassuming cul-de-sac of Barnet Close you'll discover this spectacularly renovated three bedroom separate title townhouse that's the envy of Swinger Hill. Every inch of this home has been stylishly reconstructed, with outdoor spaces highlighting the unique heritage style of the precinct.
Walk past the ornate Koi pond and step through the dark timber entrance into this light, spacious and modern home. The living and dining rooms are designed to create a warm aesthetic that continues throughout the house. Vaulted raked ceilings provide a sense of space and luxury. The grey tones against the variegated browns of the brick create a striking contrast that tells you this home is special.
The main living area receives beautiful natural light through the panoramic glass that looks out onto a private courtyard - one of three courtyards, each with their own charm. In fact, the back garden shows off with its tiered gardens of Treloar Roses and organic veggie patch just itching to be planted with this summer's tomatoes. Back inside, the north/south layout of the home lets the living spaces enjoy the winter light, but keeps it cool come summer.
The cleverly designed European-style laundry cupboard gives you everything you need for the necessary chore, while not encroaching.
Step into the kitchen and imagine yourself cooking a quiet meal for two, or a boisterous dinner party for friends and family. The SMEG appliances including pyrolytic and steam ovens and induction cooktop give you full control so you can release your inner masterchef. The waterfall island bench speaks to the class of this inspiring space.
At the end of the day, the three bedrooms beckon. The master boasts built-in robes and luxurious ensuite for the ultimate wind down. All three bedrooms are spacious and inviting, with views across the treetops or into a courtyard which ensure a restful sleep. The adjacent bathroom with full bath, bright white tiles and breathtaking fittings speaks to what this property is about… style... comfort… home.
Stroll out your front door to all that Woden Town Centre has to offer including the Southside markets on Sunday mornings. It's just 10 minutes by car to Civic and walking distance to the Phillip Business District or The Canberra Hospital. Access to the major public transport routes means you can get anywhere quickly and easily. Close to Southlands at Mawson, with its array of independent delis, grocers and boutique stores.
Swinger Hill was developed in the 1970s to "challenge the suburbs". We challenge you not to fall in love with this home.
