23 Barada Crescent, Aranda ACT 2614

Take a step up in style as you walk up the grand stairway of this immaculate Aranda home to its impressive double front doors.

Inside you'll discover a tiled entrance leading to a contemporary lounge that has all the characteristics to fit the Scandinavian concept hygge' - a space that can generate a feeling of contentment and well-being. With its contemporary gas fireplace, windows on two sides and a third windowed wall facing into a gorgeous atrium, it's easy to imagine settling in for some quality relaxation.

And if you find yourself dropping off to sleep, it's just a short trip across to the other side of the atrium to the master retreat with a bedroom large enough for a king-size bed plus a sofa.

Six timber steps lead you from the living room into the brand new thoughtfully designed designer kitchen which is perfectly connected to the dining area and deck beyond. The feature-packed kitchen boasts ceasarstone bench tops, an island that seats four, a built in bench seat (with hidden storage) and workstation and an enormous butler's pantry with extra oven, wine storage and European laundry.

Off the kitchen there's a beautifully proportioned light filled family or TV room that would also make a perfect playroom or teen retreat. You can access the timber-framed wrap around deck area both from this room and from sliding doors in the kitchen.

The stylish surprises continue when you walk out to the backyard where you'll discover an architecturally designed and landscaped garden with multiple seating areas, integrated hydrotherapy spa and a spiral staircase to the rooftop terrace to take in the sunset and views of the famous Aranda gums.

If, on the odd chance, you want to leave this architectural oasis, the Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve, and bustling Aranda shops are only a few minutes' walk away. It's also just a short commute to the city, Belconnen and schools, universities and hospitals.
