Contemporary lifestyle, enviable position

In a superb, tightly held enclave of Ainslie this stylish, contemporary six year old home certainly catches your eye. Its position is enviable. The attractive residence fronts onto a harmonious thoroughfare with delightfully wide nature strips that derive from an era when streetscapes were less cluttered than in recent times. At the back of the property you will find the rear garden and sail-covered terrace. The emphasis is on functional paving and decking softened by banks of beautiful, low maintenance shrubs and accent plantings. From here you can step right into the Canberra Nature Park featuring the iconic slopes and summit of Mount Ainslie. On any day, at any time, nature is there at your feet, inviting you to walk, cycle or simply admire.

Inside are many good reasons to enjoy the lifestyle of this special home. On entering the stately double doors, you pass through the entrance foyer into an impressive, open living area. Here is a dramatic space, bursting with light. The room is attractively lit by skylighting in the raked ceilings and full length windows and bifold doors opening onto the entertaining area. The decor is modern with a tasteful use of neutral colours to the walls, ceilings and tiles. At the centre an excellent kitchen fulfils its role as the hub of the household. Among its many attributes, the kitchen has granite bench tops and ceasarstone island bench, glass splashbacks, separate appliance area, pantry, glass-fronted cabinets, easy slide drawers, and a delightful two-tone finish that is sustained throughout the living area and even into the laundry. A dining room is set off to one side in the form of a bay with French door access to the terrace with its barbecue and entertaining area.

In the main bedroom, you find that the ceramic tiled floors of the living areas have given way to richly polished jarrah timber flooring. The ensuite emphasizes this theme with a palette of beige and reddish-brown hues and flows through into the walk-in wardrobe. Adjacent to the master bedroom is a fourth bedroom with built in wardrobes, currently used as a home office. Bedrooms two and three are bright and modern with full-sized robes while the main bathroom has floor-to-ceiling tiles and a large vanity cabinet. Moving downstairs brings you to the double garage. You note that extra storage has been thoughtfully installed under the stairway. Also at this level is access to a utility room currently a second study (which could be used as a gym, music / theatre room or bedroom) and a wine cellar.

Truly an elegant, well thought out home with modern lifestyle-enhancing features including in-slab heating, ample storage and a Hills Hub data and telecommunications system. Here is a rare opportunity for you to live in contemporary comfort and style in a genteel, old-world suburb at the foot of Mount Ainslie, and only minutes from Civic.
