Positioned at the back of the serene Lincoln Development, just a few steps from bushy reserve, this well-proportioned townhouse is pristinely quiet. There is a strong indoor/outdoor connection, and the home is bathed in gentle light.
The interlacing private lanes of The Lincoln are lined with crepe myrtles, magnolias, edged with lush, manicured lawns. The low-lying pretty townhouses charm with their uniform raw brick, cream facades and terracotta roof tiles. Located in the heart of Bruce, a few moments from the UC, CIT, and Calvary Hospital, this is a wonderful location, whisper close to the dynamic Belconnen Precinct, the bustling inner-north and the CBD.
Paving stones are checker-boarded within plush green lawn, bordered by flowering plantings. A handsome portico shades the entryway and to the right, a private driveway ushers to double auto garage with internal access.
Honey coloured bamboo flooring is elegant underfoot and the neutral palette contributes to a felt sense of simplicity and airy serenity. High ceilings and multiple aspects to the sunny courtyard further the experience of space and flow.
A generous entry foyer merges with combined living, dining with sight-lines to both front garden and excellent rear garden connectivity. There is a pleasing volume to this open social arena with its clean lines and crisp simplicity. There is enough space here to easily accommodate cosy living, office nook, table set for plenty…friends and family flowing to courtyard on warm, breezy summer evenings.
The kitchen overlooks a light filled meals area that embraces the north-east courtyard. Drenched in light this social hub is a warm gathering spot, ideal for easy family time and relaxed meal prep. Banks of storage, stone counter tops, stainless Smeg appliances ensure a sophisticated utility and contemporary grace.
Edged by low plantings, sheltered by pergola with textural pebblecrete – there is a warm sense of space, perfect for reading and sips of tea. The courtyard is a wonderful, generous space, ideal for celebration and repose, think alfresco dining or contemplative coffee soaking up the quality of light, the morning birdsong.
Three secluded bedrooms draw in northern light and centre around a laundry, family bathroom with tub and separate toilet. A seamlessly integrated corner desk and shelving creates a wonderful kid's bedroom that overlooks the courtyard. While a second peaceful bedroom frames leafy views.
The discrete master bedroom with handsome ensuite and wall of mirrored storage features a large picture window capturing views to landscape.
