Clean, contemporary lines and the creative use of colour throughout give this home in Coombs its striking sense of style.

From the entrance you’ll notice the home is segregated into two distinct wings; bedrooms are to the left and open-plan living is on your right. A lush atrium in the centre of the home neatly divides these two zones.

The double-height expanse of glass at the front of the living wing is one of the main features of the home’s eye-catching facade, but it’s even better from within.

The double-glazed windows and raked ceilings give the room an incredible sense of light and space.

The open-planned living area is perfect for entertaining with a series of defined, yet integrated spaces. A custom-made bookcase acts as a centrepiece, providing separation between the lounge and dining area, without disturbing the home’s seamless flow.

A front courtyard spills off the lounge and captures the quintessential Canberra view towards Black Mountain and Telstra Tower.

The kitchen is well-equipped for catering with ample bench space, quality appliances and a generous butler’s pantry.

The tiled, turquoise patterned splashback adds a fun twist and a splash of colour to the otherwise neutral decor.

Four bedrooms are positioned in the east wing, ensuring a quiet space away from the entertaining zone. All are generously proportioned with built-in wardrobes.

The master suite has a large walk-in wardrobe and a designer en suite.

The en suite and main bathroom reflect the theme of the kitchen, with turquoise feature tiles punctuating the neutral colour palette.

A custom, built-in desk overlooking the internal atrium is ideal for those studying or working from home.

Situated opposite green space with walking tracks and within a short stroll to Coombs Primary School, it offers the perfect setting for a young family.

A gas fireplace, solar hot water, integrated speakers and reverse-cycle heating and cooling are among the other features.

FEATURE WE LOVE

The atrium in the centre of the home is a unique feature that serves a number of purposes. Not only does it provide a clear separation between the home’s two distinct spaces, but the green wall and open-air design inject an extra dose of light and life into the house.
