The elevated veranda spans the full length of the house, floating you above the township and capturing a breathtaking panorama of the Brindabellas. This fabulous family home feeds the soul, as evenings become a show of twinkling lights, and mornings beckon with their ever changing canvas of pinks and gold.
Perched high on a hillside, on an impressive street dotted with striking new builds and vintage homes, this classic four-bedroom weatherboard brims with modernist charm. The homes elevated design and linear form is simple and beautiful. You enter through deep garden of green lawns, mature bottle brush, blue spruce, sculptural yucca. To one side a driveway ushers to both single garage and duo of split level carports.
Standing on the front veranda really is one of those “Wow” moments as you take in the arresting views. The large scale front door is an impressive entryway and gives way to a soothing interior, with an array of calm, minimalist spaces and a decidedly indoor-outdoor vibe.
The living and dining space is designed with a clear link to the eastern veranda which operates as an additional outdoor room. Lounging in place also means taking in the gorgeous scenery, think crystalline days of endless blue, the epic play of storms rolling in and the fiery foreglow of early mornings.
A kitchen sits adjacent and open to the social space. A gorgeous renovation has created a warm and inviting hub, well-lit by natural light with ample cooking and prep-space. Hampton’s style meets modernity, as sleek shaker cabinets, recessed porcelain sink combines with stone benchtops and a dream oven in fire engine red. This is the place everyone gathers at the end of the day, making the most of the breakfast bar, the relaxed vibe. We love the bay window set above the sink, the floating shelves for curated display and the enormous pantry with rustic wine rack set to one side.
The home is primed for entertaining with easy drift to both elevated veranda and wide sheltered patio to the west. Think large gatherings the long table set for plenty, comfy lounges, barbecue sizzling, the kids rolling and playing on the undulating lawn that rises to meet the reserve beyond. A firepit is staged on a natural plateau, a fab place to gather as the evenings grow colder…toasting marshmallows, sharing stories beneath the stars.
The spacious master bedroom captures those epic mountain views, has tons of storage and sits adjacent to a powder room. Three elegant bedrooms align along the western side and take in long, peaceful garden views. Close by the family bathroom extends an effortless timeless appeal, with opalescent blue Kit Kat tiling, free standing tub, frameless walk-in-shower, brushed brass fixtures and pretty mosaic floor. A handsome laundry sits in one corner with porcelain sink and floating shelves for perfectly folded towels, hand woven baskets.
Queanbeyan is a pretty town that sits just across the ACT border on the banks of the Queanbeyan River. Heritage homes line tree lined streets as walking tracks meander through golf courses and reserves and well-designed paths hug the river’s edge. With great food, bowling clubs and pubs there is always lots to do. Local favs include Thai at Lime Leaves and authentic Mexican tacos at Cartel. Or check out the murals in Blacksmiths Lane, take in some live performance at The Q Performing Arts Centre or maybe grab a beer with friends at one of the four pubs in town. For great coffee and long brunches beneath the trees, there is the popular Mill House Café. Thursday nights host great local Farmers Markets and thriving late night shopping. The home is a mere 9 minutes to the airport and 15 minutes to the CBD.
