Colourful flowering azaleas border the walkway, and a shady terracotta tiled porch lends a Mediterranean feel. Panels of glass gift glimpses of the large welcoming foyer, the perfect stage for a mid-century sideboard, lovingly curated with loved curios and ceramics.
It is not hard to fall in love with this joyful, three-bedroom cottage in the peaceful suburb of Flynn, close to the bustling Belconnen precinct, surrounded by parklands including the grasslands that edge Ginninderra Creek. Arranged around a palatial terrace, the home is blessed by sunny interiors, and views of beautiful gardens at every turn.
The interior and exterior merge to become one entity, as timber doors open fully to terrace and gardens, within the bright living area. A wall of timber sash windows captures the pink hues of flowering camellias, while to the north bi-fold doors make the most of the continuous daylight, embracing alfresco entertaining.
The interiors are simple and contemporary with plenty of whimsical touches. Warm hardwood floors flow underfoot, and white walls amplify the quality of natural light. We love the use of subtle focal points - the open shelving in the living and dining room, the spherical glass pendant that floats ethereally above the table.
There is an easy flow throughout, with each social arena vitally connected to each other, and airy outdoor living. A peaceful library, study or sitting area merges with elegant galley kitchen and onto the dining room, it has the effect of making the home feel much larger as the sweeping terrace becomes an integral and dynamic aspect of the home.
The sleeping zone, nicely sequestered, also feels enclosed by garden serenity. Dappled light softens the mood within the serene master bedroom, as a wall of windows introduces a nourishing quality of leafy immersion. Two further bedrooms are at the end of the hall, both with large picture windows welcoming sunshine. A family bathroom with relaxing spa tub and separate toilet sits adjacent, along with a pretty laundry in welcoming sage green.
Think entertaining family and friends as the kids play on the terraced lawn and the dedicated play equipment. The barbecue humming and the table set for plenty as afternoon merges into evening beneath the cheerful fiesta lights. Or perhaps more contemplative moments within the cosy studio, coffee in hand…the hush of the garden surrounds nurturing creative inspiration.
Situated in the leafy suburb of Flynn, known for its family/community values, surrounded by green spaces, the home, also offers convenient access to the Belconnen precinct, AIS, and GIO stadium. The home is close to several fabulous local shops, including Spence and Melba, with Mamé café, in Melba court being a local favourite. Within walking distance to Plowman Place Playground, Ginninderra Creek and Mt Roger's reserve, the home is also convenient to transport, schools, and the UC, the home, and it is just 11 minutes to the inner-north, and 18 minutes to the CBD by car.
