This gorgeous modernist home offers the prestige of Yarralumla, where the lifestyle of the city meets lakeside, with the convenience of the Inner South. This lovely home is the perfect combo of old and new with generous space arrayed across two levels, including multiple living areas that spill to leafy gardens in the front and back.
We love the soothing blue that conjures the deep sea, set against a pop of crisp white. Glass sliders open fully to the green walled garden off the kitchen with its alfresco stage perfect for dining in the afternoon sunshine. The established front hedges offer privacy, with a wide private driveway leading to the carport and gated double garage.
Within the house, we find crisp white panelling and rich timber flooring adding to the mid-century modern allure. The renovated Hamptons-inspired kitchen is open to the expansive living and dining combination. Banks of white cabinetry combine with black cup pulls, meeting timber worktops and modern subway tiling. There are quality appliances from Bosch and an unrestrained generous feel, as space and design combine to maximise storage, so you can curate rather than clutter.
We love the open shelves for display, the custom coffee bay, large pantry and, of course, the double recessed porcelain sink and large black mixer. This is the heart of the home, primed for robust mealtimes, effortless entertaining and convivial togetherness, all informed by an enviable inside-outside connection.
The eastern side of the home is given over to an expansive second living area with custom shelving to create the ultimate home library. This is a versatile space, large enough for comfy lounges and a second dining area. The room spills to the warming sunroom with expansive views of flowering camelias and old pines in the back garden. It is hard not to imagine spending all winter in this lovely space with a great book in hand and a soothing cuppa.
Floating stairs rise from a light filled foyer with office nook tucked beneath the stairs and timber cabinetry providing excellent storage. As you ascend the stairs, three bedrooms capture elevated views across the rooftops of old Yarralumla. The master is distinguished by its generosity of size, walk-in-robe and long views to the mountain ranges. There is a family bathroom with a relaxing tub, deep blue mosaic floor tiles and white wall tiles embellished with delicate floral.
Yarralumla is a beautiful suburb, with quiet dappled streets, mature trees, lush parks, blooming gardens and established homes. It is an easy meandering stroll to the local shops, where favourites include – Farmers Daughter Café and the Turkish Halal Pide House. Deakin shops are just moments away with Double Shot serving up great coffee, and it is a short trip to the boutique shopping and dining experiences of Manuka and Kingston. The home is close to a variety of schools and transport. It is a mere 11 minutes to the CBD.
