It can be easy for big houses to feel cold with all their blank walls and sharp edges.

But not at 49 Quinane Avenue in the Gungahlin suburb of Forde.

As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel the warmth of the golden timber flooring, soaring ceilings and abundance of natural light.

The four spacious bedrooms are all on the upper floor, including an enormous main-bedroom suite with a vast walk-in wardrobe and an en suite that’s actually bigger than the main bathroom.

Downstairs, a separate living room at the front makes for a quiet retreat.

At the back, an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room leads out to a north-facing sunroom that can be fully opened up to the covered deck and landscaped gardens beyond.

There’s practical space where it matters too, such as a huge laundry, a walk-in pantry and a triple garage with a workshop.

This home is designed for those who appreciate both scale and sophistication, says agent Kris Hellier of Marq Property.

It’s positioned just moments from Mulligans Flat Reserve, Yerrabi Pond, local shops, Burgmann Anglican School and Gungahlin Town Centre.

The property’s auction campaign has a price guide of $1.6 million-plus.
