Seize this opportunity to own a piece of mid-century-infused magic and benefit from a spellbinding home that marries streamlined, sophisticated design with 21st century must-haves. This stunning residence has been completely renovated while maintaining the timeless foundational features of the period-exposed beams, timber features, and split-level living. This home is ideal for those looking for a turnkey property in this elevated, tightly held enclave in Aranda. The owners renovated their forever home to exacting standards, but an unexpected relocation presents an opportunity for someone else to enjoy this magical oasis.

A chain of north-facing living spaces is beautifully nuanced, with a split-level floor plan that leads from the sizeable lounge to a family room complete with custom built-in library with attached rolling ladder. The living spaces have soaring raked ceilings and towering spans of floor to ceiling windows that look over a large outdoor entertaining area and lush green low-maintenance gardens.

The dining area is adjacent to the beautifully renovated kitchen and leads out to the large covered entertaining deck that overlooks the trees and Brindabella range. The entertaining space hosts a large alfresco dining area plus a dedicated lounge area and separate BBQ zone. With two additional garden-level paved patios, this home offers multiple leafy zones for outdoor entertaining.

The amenities and inclusions are impressive, and the house has been completely renovated to modern standards. The home is all-electric, featuring central air-conditioning and heating with zoning, and additionally has a separate evaporative cooling system. Full house insulation (underfloor, ceilings, and walls), energy efficient Comfort Plus glass in windows, and 10.5kW of solar panels result in an energy efficient house that is comfortable and saves on energy bills year-round. Stunning finishes have been added throughout, including brushed brass fittings, restored timber flooring with matte finish, contemporary recessed lighting and pendant lighting, and has been professionally painted in a neutral white palate.

The large downstairs room has its own entrance and kitchenette and provides a versatile space that could be utilized as a ground-floor rumpus room, teenage retreat, bedroom, or home office. With the Aranda and St Vincent Primary Schools an easy walk and the option of a stop for coffee at the much-loved Two Before Ten on the way to work or home, there are inviting options to ease into your day here. And with the University of Canberra, North Canberra Hospital, Radford College, Australian National University, Belconnen Town Centre and the city all within a short commute, there'll be more time to relax at day's end.
