There is a simple transparency and openness, a laid-back natural appeal as light bounces off the white-washed walls, the honeyed timber floors and banks of glazing gift vistas to sheltered garden rooms.
This separate-title and nicely secluded townhouse, rests within a quiet loop street and opens to the lovely, wild expanse of reserve. With gorgeous interior courtyards and perfect orientation – think gentle mornings, sundrenched living areas, breathing central atriums – the sense of living transparently within nature is profoundly delivered and the home easily merges indoor and outdoor living.
A private driveway links to a double garage with internal access. To one side, a gated passage ushers to a small courtyard entryway that opens to a slim hallway, framing the first of two internal gardens…the whole home gifting the feeling of moving through and within a garden space.
With beautiful flow, clever floorplan (separated parents and children's areas) and a modern refurb, the home is easy-care, steeped in the quietude of the bush, yet moments from the bustling Belconnen precinct.
The large master bedroom with walk-through robe and ensuite, is private and sequestered…surrounded and held by the open garden space. Think, reading in bed overlooking a green oasis, doors flung open, a heavenly merging with a living, changing landscape.
A generous living area connects with a dining or office space…both areas taking in views of a second courtyard. This wonderful central atrium could easily host a thriving ecosystem, extending a sheltered outdoor hangout. A lovely crossflow of breezes and warm sunlight are welcomed directly into the centre of the home.
The home visually expands into an open, living, meals area with glazing's that flow to easy-care, sunny rear garden. The modernised kitchen employs a delightful crisp Eucalypt green, nodding to the bush surrounds, married with minimal, crisp white countertops.
The children's area occupies the north end of the home - a couplet of handsome bedrooms with tranquil outlooks, centred around a family bathroom, with bath, separate toilet, and laundry.
The paved rear garden is enclosed by high fenced walls, creating a feeling of another green, garden room. There is enough space here to easily entertain, dining alfresco, with family and friends, the table set for plenty. Beyond the garden gate, extends the soothing oasis of endless reserve, merging with the stunning walking and nature trails of Mt Roger's.
Melba is known for its family friendly, relaxed vibe and community spirit. The home is within distance to schools, parks, transport and Ginninderra Creek, BMX Club and Melba Half Acre Wood and surrounded by green space and reserve. Close to the fabulous Melba shops, with local favourite Café Mamé, famous for its delicious pastries and vegan options, the home is also close to the Belconnen precinct, connecting you to a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The home is also handy to the UC, AIS, Lake Ginninderra, Bruce Stadium and just 19 minutes to the CBD.
