This gorgeous modernist, three-bedroom beauty, is privately tucked away within peaceful gardens and has the distinctive feel of secluded sanctuary. The simple lines, flat roof and large picture windows are classic to the era and lend a timeless class to the facade.
The interior has been sensitively updated to create a home that puts comfort and quality first and yet maintains a sophisticated, minimalist flair. A wonderful sunken lounge flows to dining room which opens to deck and simply planted mature gardens.
Surrounded by houses of similar mid-century modern design, the home rests within a coveted cul-de-sac, overlooking a central island with stunning, established gums. A side passage ushers past flat roofed double garage, into the surprise of green oasis - the white brick form of the home floating gently amidst the lush lawns.
Brimming with warmth and personality the interior welcomes and delights. The neutral-tone palette breathes a calming serenity and timber-look flooring flows underfoot with plush carpet, softening the cosy sunken lounge. Original timber windows line the walls and allow light to flood this delightful, open social space. Tall ceilings, glass balustrades and an easy flow through to kitchen and dining, further the experience of airy expanse.
The modern galley style kitchen features sleek white cabinetry and counter tops married with stainless-steel appliances. Sky-blue wall tiling adds a gentle touch of whimsy. There is an easy social feel to this open kitchen and dining - think no fuss family meals, effortless entertaining, flowing seamlessly to deck and paved alfresco arena.
A hallway separates and privatises the intimate zone.
Two sunny north facing bedrooms, both with peaceful views to red tinged photinia hedging and green lawns, centre around a bright white family bathroom with tub and separate toilet.
The master bedroom has calming views to stunning, grove of silver birch and is excellently equipped with walk-through-robe and ensuite. There is ample cabinetry and the renovated ensuite has continued the classic theme of white on white, contrasting beautifully here with dramatic matt black hardware.
The garden has the feel of a lush, green room, both enveloping and extending the home. Divided into three zones - soft "playground" lawn, perfect for the kids to tumble and play, paved alfresco entertaining area and tucked neatly behind the house, a pebbled utility space that houses the clothes line and shed. Restrained yet judicious planting softens and screens and there is the magical feeling of healing quietude.
Situated in the leafy suburb of Spence, known for its family/community values, surrounded by reserve and green spaces, the home, also offers convenient access to the Belconnen precinct, AIS and Bruce stadium. The home is close to several fabulous local shops, including Spence and Melba, with Spence the Grocer and cafe Mamé, being a local favourite. Within walking distance to Mt Roger's reserve and convenient to transport, schools, and the UC, the home, is also just 11 minutes to the inner-north, and 18 minutes to the CBD.
