Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, opening the home to the surrounding bushland. The lofty ceilings and tall doors add to the sense of scale, while refined timber joinery draws out the clean architectural lines. This stunning mid-century home has been renewed with graceful restraint. The feeling is one of ease and delight - a two-bedroom haven that celebrates the legacy of modernist design and the rich story of Wybalena.
The approach is classic Wybalena Grove - winding path that cuts through the pretty bush, ushering past the natural forms of the townhouses that nestle within their tranquil setting. A bright red bicycle is parked out the front of no.43, poised and ready to explore the endless trails and speaking directly to the caring community vibe. There is a lovely privacy and a shared spirit at work here with vegetable gardens, pizza oven, playground and tennis court, all a few steps away, creating a fabulous place to live and bring up your kids.
Ideally placed at the end of a cul-de-sac that falls away to endless reserve, the home delivers an enviable peace and quiet. There is quite the feeling of remove, a definitive escape from the nearby hustle and bustle. The acacias are glowing golden right now and the silence is punctuated by the trill of birdsong. This was the vision of Michael Dysart, the famous architect who brought the 20th century Sydney regional style, in all its organic glory to Canberra. Each unique townhouse is designed to connect to the rhythms of nature. The famed timber and brick forms openly connecting to the 11 acres of this unique bush development.
The welcoming foyer, set with an iconic Eames Hang-It-All coat rack, sets the scene. Timber floors flow underfoot, stretching to meet gallery white walls. Living is open, arranged across a split level, spilling to a sheltered deck and fenced garden. There is a vibe – simple and restrained, allowing the quiet presence of the eucalypts, acacias, waving grasses to be felt within.
Large double-glazed windows frame the gold of the wattle trees, the kitchen perfectly arrayed with lots of white cabinetry, open shelving and quality appliances from Smeg. There is a pop of burnt orange – the mosaic splashback delivering a handcrafted beauty. The dining space sits beneath a ribboned windows and comfy couches are arranged beneath the wall of glass. We love the texture of the painted brick wall and the way the big glass sliders open the whole space to nature and cooling breezes.
The master bedroom also opens to the garden; the bed arranged beneath epic glazing's that float the outside in. There is a small hallway fitted with clever storage and a few steps that usher to the second bedroom. Here a giant window delivers lots of light, a generous snapshot of the bush. Both bedrooms have epic, full height timber cabinetry, taking care of storage. The bathroom sits central, is oh so paired-back and wonderfully finished in subtle textures, organic hues. Think frameless glass walk-in-shower, wall hung timber vanity with stone top, and floor to ceiling tiling in the softest pistachio green.
Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
