This charming federation style cottage, rests on a quiet, leafy street in the relaxed, family-friendly, suburb of Ngunnawal. With gorgeous garden enclosure and perfect orientation – think gentle mornings, dappled plays of light, lazy sunny afternoons and drama filled sunsets – the sense of living privately, within nature is profoundly delivered and the home easily merges indoor/outdoor living. With beautiful flow, clever floorplan (separated parents and children's areas) and delightful period features, arabanoo.home, is an easy-care, flexible and soulful retreat. There are plenty of lovely spaces here to relax, recharge or inspire and celebrate.
Hidden from the road, there is a sense of spatial depth, as you step down and through terraced gardens - a quiet, shyness to the sun-trapped veranda. Inside it is all boastful cascading light, volume and elegance - high ceilings, double timber framed windows, and a heavenly merging with landscape - heightening a felt experience of openness, possibility. And yet there is also a palpable sense of restrained grace, a softness. The warm tones of the timber floors and neutral white walls, extend a laid-back minimal appeal, and offer a calm backdrop for curated art, furniture and artefacts.
As you step through the front door the home visually expands into an open, living, dining area with multiple glazing's that reach outwards, framing courtyards, deck and greenery. There is a palatial feel to this space, which flows directly, into a sweet, east facing kitchen and second dining or sitting room.
The large master bedroom with walk-through robe and ensuite, overlooks the front garden.
Private and sequestered, the room feels hushed, surrounded and held by the garden canopy and its moving lacework of shadows.
The children's area occupies the western end of the home - a couplet of handsome bedrooms with tranquil outlooks, centred around a family bathroom, with bath, separate toilet and laundry.
Accessed via a second, sheltered courtyard space, the generous deck is enclosed by high hedges creating a feeling of green, garden room. There is enough space here to easily entertain the whole family and friends. Enjoy celebrating alfresco, with striking, elevated views to the west and the mountains, children playing, tumbling on the lawn, the sky turning orange, pink as the day fades.
Ngunnawal is one of Canberra's northernmost suburbs, known for its community vibe and family friendly values. With street library across the road and a park at one end, the home is also walking distance to schools, local shops and F45 Ngunnawal. The town centres of Gungahlin and Belconnen are just minutes away, connecting you to a myriad of dining, shopping and entertainment options. The home is a mere 12kms from the ANU and the CBD.
