Light-filled and much-loved, homes by Canberra-born builder/designer Gary Willemsen are tightly held for their modernist character features and ease of living. This single-level townhouse has all of that in spades, plus the added appeal of a superb position backing bushland.
It means that the north-facing living areas effectively spill out to what feels like an estate's grounds, albeit delineated by private layer of gardens wrapping the home on three sides and rewarding with birdsong, dappled shade and seasonal bounties from the wisteria-entwined pergolas, mature rhododendrons and azaleas.
The overarching effect is deeply calming and cocooning. Huge windows draw in the vibrant greenery, visually linking the interiors with the glorious garden surrounds. The formal and casual spaces are awash with personality and warmth courtesy of exposed Oregan rafters and limewashed raked ceilings that lend a distinct Nordic feel and entice homeowners and guests alike, to linger.
Three bedrooms also benefit from lush focal points. The ensuite master is sequestered in one intimate wing and has the added bonus of both a dedicated study/sitting area and a private deck.
The clever floorplan brims with versatile options for studying, dining, relaxing, entertaining, displaying art and hosting friends and family. Relish the location close to the Mawson shops, Woden Town Centre and Canberra Hospital.
