The Scandi makeover of this Amaroo home is beyond satisfying

A family who purchased a five-bedroom home in the heart of Amaroo has turned it into a modern Scandinavian dream.

From bright whites and wood tones to natural lighting and a muted colour palette, not a single room of 44 Rollston Street, Amaroo — which the family purchased in 2021 for $1.57 million – has remained untouched.

But just as they’ve completed their “family oasis”, they’ve decided to move on; and they’re looking for a new family to move in and love living in the house as much as they have.

“It’s with pleasure and sadness we've decided to sell our cherished home,” the family says in the home’s listing.

“However, we seek to travel as a family and will be downsizing as a result.

“We put our hearts and soul into the full renovation of this property, uniting traditional family vibes with a modern Scandinavian palette.”

The five-bedroom home – originally built by Classic Constructions in the late 1990s – was renovated by Co-built and Constructed.

“Their excellent craftsmanship is prevalent in the detail and finishes of our home and we couldn't be happier.

“No room was left in the original form, creating a warm and updated family home.”

They’ll miss sitting in the backyard by the pool on a hot Canberra summer day, the listing says, and cooking a BBQ while enjoying a beverage and watching the kids swim and play.

“Personally, dad will miss having friends over enjoying a game of snooker/pool in the games and bar room.

“We’ll miss the views from the top storey in the morning, with light opening up the rooms and the entrance, and overlooking the Bonner hills and Forde wetlands.

“The neighbours make it truly hard for us to move on, creating long-lasting friendships with the parents and young children next door and across the road, including the helpful kind and quiet neighbours all around the street.

“The home is truly a turnkey property, leaving the new owners to simply move in and enjoy all the amenities that the house and the established Amaroo have to offer."

Number 44 Rollston Street, Amaroo, is for sale by negotiation.
