Striking mid-century modern design, banks of windows, north facing aspect, and a fresh outdoor feel, characterise this two-bedroom separate title villa. A perfectly preserved example of Belconnen modernism, the home's beautiful clean lines, architectural angles and preserved vintage features lend a rare timeless quality and minimalist calm. Flooded with light and with seamless flow to private courtyard garden, the home extends both comfortable and inspirational living.
Privatised by single carport with exposed rafters, open work wall, and resting deep within the site, the form is classic to the modernist era - angled roof extending to create pergola, exposed beams, high raked ceilings and a gorgeous merging with landscape, blurring the boundaries between outside and in.
A sunny yellow door welcomes, and the entrance hall opens out to generous, open plan living and dining area. The window wall, frames verdant outdoor planting and creates an airy feeling of transparency, extending the space and providing a fantastic alfresco lifestyle.
An inset study desk is a lovely focal point, with ample timber shelving for the display of books, perfectly integrated within the space, it is an ideal nook for working from home.
The rich timber cabinetry in the kitchen, is offset by a cheery splash of blue. A study in simplicity, the space is beautifully appointed - stainless steel appliances, bright white countertop - lending a laid-back, happy vibe with a practical edge, with charming servery window to the dining area.
Both bedrooms enjoy window walls, bringing delightful garden freshness inside, welcoming a gorgeous continuity of daylight. The master, sun-bathed with stunning outlook to garden, entices you to kick back and relax - think, long Sunday mornings in bed with a good book. Both bedrooms have built-in-robes and flow easily to family bathroom.
Stylishly updated with oak vanity and soaking tub, the bathroom continues the signature paired-back, relaxing scheme. This Zen-like, generous space, has loads of storage and is conveniently adjacent to a separate laundry.
The garden provides greenery all year round and is a wonderful, sheltered spot for entertaining or enjoying some quiet weekend time, book in hand, soaking up some rays. Dedicated timber bench seating provides a shady spot beneath the trees and an invitational, paved dining area, is perfectly edged by sculptural planting.
