Little details can have a big impact in any home. Take 25 Keewong Street in Crace as an example.

The house offers snippets of the lushness surrounding the elevated property, from the nature reserve directly opposite to the rolling landscape that surrounds Gungahlin.

Inside, a soaring entry leads into the carpeted, front formal lounge, with views of that parkland across the street.

Storage won’t be a hassle in the nearby segregated main bedroom, which comes with two walk-in wardrobes. There’s also an en suite with lovely floor-to-ceiling tiles, a large shower and a hidden toilet.

Further down the hall, an extra room with built-in storage could double as a study or spare bedroom.

At the rear of the house is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, covered in glossy, textured tiles and a patch of carpet to separate the lounge space.

The room’s centrepiece is a feature fireplace, which matches the large pendant lights hanging over the kitchen’s long island bench and breakfast bar.

Tucked away behind the main kitchen is an impressive butler’s pantry with extra storage and bench space, plus a collection of appliances.

The open-plan living area flows onto a large, covered deck area, perfect for the entertainer and with plenty of room for an outdoor kitchen or furniture.

There’s still plenty of runaround space leftover, while the fence has been built at just the right height to ensure privacy despite the block’s elevation.

Upstairs, the remaining three bedrooms surround a central rumpus room. The space isn’t fully enclosed and overlooks the open-plan living area below. All three bedrooms come with built-in robes and offer views of reserve or distant hills. They are serviced by a main bathroom complete with a built-in bath, shower and separate toilet.

An oversized double garage with access to the butler’s pantry, a laundry with good storage, an extra powder room on the ground-floor, landscape grounds, a ducted vacuum system and national broadband network​ connectivity are among the other features.

We love: Light floods through windows that capture snippets of the surrounding landscape.

Need to know: Crace is in southern Gungahlin, just off the Barton Highway. The suburb houses pockets of parkland, including Hilltop Reserve and Crace Recreation Reserve, and shopping precinct Crace Central. It is surrounded by green space and is a short drive from Gungahlin Town Centre.
