17 Novar Street, Yarralumla ACT 2600

When you approach this single level free-standing home, you can't help but smile in anticipation. It's not just the distinctive geometric play of angles that you know will reveal something special inside, it's also the painted brick exterior in a soft blue with white trim that evokes the colour of the sky. Blue is often associated with its ability to produce a calming effect, and so it is with this home.

Step into the tiled entrance and you'll find that feeling enhanced.

Tall windows bring in light and frame views to the mature gardens. A smart and sophisticated north-facing sunroom offers further picturesque garden views and provides a hub for the lounge room, covered alfresco area and the sunny family room.

The family room is where you're likely to spend most of your time. There is plenty of space for a meals area and the bonus of access to both the updated kitchen and exterior deck.

There's also a sense of privacy and security. The exterior deck leads to a paved area with soothing water feature. Fully fenced, low-maintenance gardens surround the home on three sides, giving you green views from every room.

With three bright bedrooms, two polished bathrooms, and a lock-up two car garage and extra car space, there's everything you want here and nothing you don't.

Walk 5 minutes to the Yarralumla shops and enjoy coffee or brunch at Farmers Daughter or Beess & Co. Head for a round of golf at the nearby Royal Canberra Golf Club. Jump on a bus at the stop outside and be in the city in minutes. Lock the place up and travel. The options are all yours.
