The horseshoe driveway of this gorgeous home mirrors that of a peaceful country estate. It gives the home a grand street presence and, along with a memorable entry, a sense of stateliness. Walking up the beautiful terracotta walkway to a walled courtyard surrounded by lush gardens simply enhances the sense that you have arrived somewhere special.
Inside, the terracotta entry's warm tones give way to the warmth of Australian Southern Brushbox timber floors. Your guests will seamlessly move between the formal lounge, the casual meals area, the formal dining room or the family room. No matter where they are, they'll be central to the gleaming Euro-chic kitchen with its dark Caeserstone benchtops and dedicated appliance cupboards that allow you to keep a minimal, uncluttered look.
However, all eyes will most likely be drawn to the professionally landscaped garden outside which is deserving of its own magazine spread. A tiered West Australian jarrah and merbau deck and architect designed BHP engineered steel pergola leads to a mature exotic pleached walkway that shades you from the summer sun and in winter, the bare branches provide sculptural interest.
It's a home you may never want to leave, and fortunately, you don't have to. You can simply set up business in the massive home office with its own separate entry through the front courtyard.
If you do need to venture out for supplies, you're an easy drive from Jamison Plaza, Hawker shops or Belconnen Mall.
