Laid back 70s vibes abound, the home awash in honeyed tones, warm textures and delicately patterned wall papering. This classic three bedder has been beautifully preserved and delivers multiple living spaces to suit all moods and occasions.
There is a feeling of delight as timber panelling, exposed brick and slate floors to step you back in time. Clever updates deliver ease with endless potential, think creating a natural connection and easy flow to the swimming pool and garden, embodying the perfect summer lifestyle.
McIntosh street is a desirable loop that travels past the popular Scullin shops, within walking distance of local schools and pre schools. The home sits low behind terraced garden beds with giant conifers that add a sculptural allure. The simple form has a balanced elegance – raked roofline that extends to shelter the long front patio. High garden walls extend to the fence line, creating a private courtyard on one side. On the other side of the home a driveway travels through iron gates to the double metal garage beyond.
We love the front door – its classic mid-century carving and patterned glass inserts. There is a long hallway lined with grooved paneling which is echoed within the generous front living room. Here a big window captures the front garden, welcoming light that bounces off the golden palm leaves that decorate the papered walls.
There is a lovely open flow into the kitchen combined meals – easy-care vinyl timber floors giving way to beautiful slate, with light brick feature walls and kitchen cabinetry in soft cream. There are all electric appliances and a nice flow into the adjacent seperate laundry which opens straight onto the garden.
The second living area gazes over the salt water swimming pool via a big window and has the welcoming feel of a classic 70s den with faux stone clad hearth. One imagines glass sliders that open onto a terrace or deck, so you can flow outside with ease and enjoy the sunlight, the soothing presence of the pool.
From here you could step down to pergola sheltered terrace, enjoying a shared drink or two with friends while the kids splash and swim. The whole rear garden easy-care and serene, enclosed by green walls, softened by no mow synthetic grass.
All three bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage, while the master bedroom overlooks the pool and garden. There is a family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a seperate toilet. Here floor to ceiling tiling delivers a delicate patterning that echoes the gentle, warm materiality of the whole home.
Sweet Bones Bakery and Café is an easy stroll for great coffee and a chance to meet familiar faces. The local shops are buzzing with colourful murals, Change Wellness yoga classes, and old favourite, Another Chance Op Shop. Surrounded by sporting fields, playgrounds and parks, the home is immersed in leafy beauty near Pinnacle Reserve’s walking tracks. The evolving Belconnen precinct is minutes away with dining, shopping and Fresh Food Markets. Close to transport, schools, the Arboretum, GIO Stadium, AIS and UC, and just 15 minutes to the CBD.
