Settled within a beautifully planted site with great elevation, is this charming, A V Jennings home, with verdant views, leafy privacy. Located just a few minutes from the Belconnen precinct, surrounded by green spaces, the home is well positioned within the popular, family neighbourhood of Macquarie. Large picture windows welcome light and a neutral palette engenders a feeling of calm. Multiple social spaces and four generous bedrooms, easily accommodate the variable moods and needs of modern family life. To the rear of the home the open kitchen, meals area flows seamlessly to north facing deck.
Herringbone paved drive leads to brick garage with extra off-street parking to the right. Textural plantings are bordered by natural stone walls and a sheltering canopy of mature trees screen the home from the road. A secret enclave to the front with stretch of lush lawn is a perfect nook, for quiet contemplation. Paving ushers up and past weeping cherry tree and sculptural Yucca.
The interior feels stylish, contemporary with a paired back scheme of soft cream walls, warm toned carpet, cork tiles and there is plenty of vintage flair. The living room flows to dining and both rooms have fabulous, elevated aspect to delightful shrubberies, bursting with colour. Afternoon sunlight pours through large windows further engendering a soulful, nature infused serenity.
The modern kitchen is cleverly designed with ample cabinetry, including a step-in- pantry and has a delightful aspect to landscape. Tones of white, timber, honeyed cork bring serenity and the room merges with meals area that flows seamlessly to deck. Think loving meal prep, dining alfresco with family and friends amidst, mature shady trees, including a productive lemon.
The private arena occupies the opposing side of the house and is nicely separated via a long hallway. Two generous rooms, with built-in-robes, enjoy easterly, leafy views. A couplet of bedrooms, both with built-in-cabinetry, have the unique advantage of a shared, walk-through-toilet, and could be utilised as children's bedrooms or multi-generational living.
Common to the A V Jennings, 1968 design, the bathrooms are divided into a main bathroom with tub and shower and a separate shower room. Both bathrooms feature generous storage and gorgeous original tiling.
