There is a welcoming feel from the get-go, the textured double brick form handsome atop sandstone footings, softened by broad stretches of lawn, immaculate gardens. A gathering of Japanese maples deliver soft dappled shade in summer, stunning displays of colour come Autumn. The home brimming with mid-century charm, with high ceilings, ornate cornices and big windows that add to the airy, sense of spaciousness. There are alfresco stages both front and rear, serene social spaces, three sunny bedrooms and just the right number of modern updates, flourishes of contemporary colour.
Toolambi is a quiet, leafy street surrounded by sporting fields, parks and playgrounds. It is an easy stroll to the local shops to enjoy local favs - La Catina and the new Illuka Street Market. Beautiful wetlands are just a street away and it is a lovely stroll to the bustling Fyshwick markets and the fabulous Three Mills bakery for fresh sourdough and great coffee
Camelia hedges enclose and privatise, while Canberra reds cut a path through the centre of the lawn, marrying with the earthy terracotta style tiles on the terrace, and the sandstone clad feature wall. The curved front terrace a peaceful spot for garden gazing, early morning cuppas. We love the ornate iron balustrade in crisp white, to match the casement windows and the joyful limoncello yellow front door.
Within big windows frame the landscape and beckon you to the north and the sunny deck, so you can entertain with ease. Open plan living flows in a circular sweep to the dining space and the kitchen combined meals beyond. There is a warming fireplace to gather around, the hearth pained a lovely eucalypt green.
The kitchen is light and bright with lots of storage. From here you can open the glass sliders and step outside onto the refreshed timber deck. Think relaxed gatherings with family and friends, and an always intimate connection with the outdoors.
The master bedroom has a giant window to capture the green of the garden and welcome natural light. There is a large built-in-robe and an elegant ensuite with wall hung matt black storage and tessellated floor tiling in a pop of lipstick red. Both additional bedrooms have excellent storage and sit close to a renovated family bathroom with a relaxing tub. Here matt black is utilised again, alongside geometric patterned feature tiles that playfully recalls the 60s.
The home is ideally located within the dynamic inner-south and handy to the boutique offerings of the Griffith, Manuka, Red Hill and Kingston precincts. It is an easy stroll to the popular local shops which is set to deliver a brand new Club Lime. It is also a nice walk to Griffith shops for organic food and veg, or long brunches at Café Recess. A variety of public and private schools and transport are at hand, and it is an easy walk to Narrabundah College and Narrabundah Early Childhood School. It is a mere 9 kms to the CBD.
