Set on a quiet, secluded street at the foot of Mount Taylor, this architect-designed three-bedroom home is as modern as it is charming.
Walk beneath the maple tree via the delightful front courtyard and through the entrance and you'll instantly notice the high ceilings and welcoming sense of space. The spacious kitchen will make it a pleasure to prepare meals. The adjacent family room plays the perfect host for laughter-filled family dinners.
You'll find the sunken lounge-room tucked away, offering comfort and solitude - perfect for curling up to read or watch TV. The home office and second living area (or formal dining room if you prefer) means everyone has their own space. Fresh paint and woolen carpets makes every room feel brand new.
The three generous bedrooms, two with built in robes and one with a clever nook, are light and bright thanks to the large windows looking out to established trees and lush greenery. The north-facing master bedroom has easy access to the renovated bathroom, providing all the benefits of an ensuite, without the extra cleaning.
Close to public and private schools, Southlands Shopping Centre, Woden centre, public transport and Mount Taylor's nature trails, the location can't be beat for that perfect balance between city and bush. Add to this glorious autumnal colour, picturesque spring blossoms and a beautiful cottage garden and you'll see why this property is a rare find.
If you love peace and quiet in a friendly neighbourhood that's nestled amongst nature, then this is the home you've been looking for.
GET TO KNOW TORRENS
The streets of Torrens are named after South Australian pioneers. Residents value this area due to its central and convenient location to all areas of the city. Known as a tightly held suburb, its popularity is owed to the protection afforded by the dominant Mount Taylor nature reserve. The area is family friendly with a great mix of young families and elderly owner occupied residents. Schooling is well catered for with the Torrens Pre-school, Torrens and Sacred Heart Primary Schools, Marist College and Melrose High School all nearby. The suburb is well serviced by Canberra's exceptional transport system and close to all that the Woden Town Centre has to offer.
