It positively sings modern elegance and sophistication,” Ryan said.Spread out over three levels, the home is designed to capture all available natural light. With a natural flow from inside the living and dining areas to the north-facing deck and courtyard outside, this home lends itself to those seeking an indoor/outdoor entertaining lifestyle.The extra-wide floating timber staircase, the centre of the home’s design, as impressive as it is functional, ensures a seamless flow of natural light throughout the entire home.The open plan living and dining area is the heart of the home, and the well-appointed modern kitchen overlooks this light and bright space.<img alt="Majura3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Majura3.width-800.jpg" width="800">The tri-level design offers plenty of options for flexible living spaces.The extra-large main bedroom on the ground floor can double as a work-from-home office, a second living area for the kids or a home entertainment theatre.The sleek and modern feel of the bathroom and kitchen area also make this space suitable for a home office, as ready to host incoming clients as it is to welcome friends and relatives.On the top level, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms featuring built-in wardrobes. The north-facing bedroom features a private terrace balcony with views of Mount Majura, making this an ideal space to sit with a cup of tea and a good book.<img alt="Majura4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Majura4.width-800.jpg" width="800">The top floor has a beautifully designed main bathroom with a generous shower and free-standing bath. The frosted window allows soft natural light to seep into the room.Here, you will also find a European-style laundry quietly tucked away, evidence of the home’s clever design, ensuring no space is unutilised.Featuring secure internal access from the oversized double tandem garage on the bottom level, the home is electric car ready and even comes equipped with an impressive home gym.There is ample under stair storage and the glass front door is a nice touch of class, providing natural privacy leading to the stairs up to the main room.<img alt="Majura5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Majura5.width-800.jpg" width="800">Positioned to face a shared internal green space, this home offers the convenience of location combined with peace and quiet.Another plus? “The sense of community in the complex is alive and well, from knowing each other’s pets names to sharing a wave and a smile, it’s both a great community and beautifully designed complex,” Ryan said.Dickson town centre is a short 5-minute walk away, where you can explore the many cafes and restaurants that Dickson is famous for.The Dickson Wetlands are just down the road and make for a wonderful walk. Both Mount Majura and Mount Ainslie are a short drive away for a more elevated stroll or run.<img alt="Majura6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Majura6.width-800.jpg" width="800">The local Ainslie shops and football club are at your fingertips, and the city is a short scoot, tram or walk away.“For those that are hoping to grow a family and provide a great education, you are also in the ‘Goldilocks zone’ of school catchments, being in both the Lyneham High and North Ainslie Primary catchment,” Ryan said.“Don’t miss your chance to secure your spot in one of Dickson’s finest established complexes.”To find out more about <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/8-39-majura-avenue-dickson-act-2602-51382/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">8/39 Majura Avenue</a> at Dickson, or to arrange an inspection, contact Ryan Hedley on 0458 440 375.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/all-the-feels-of-a-house-in-the-heart-of-dickson/519293" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

It’s the best of Canberra in a home. Proximity to conveniences and coffee shops, a pleasant outlook into a private garden, a short hike from the bush, and all surrounded by a community that’s just the right size.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/69-dugdale-street-cook-act-2614-46135/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">69 Dugdale Street in Cook</a> offers a realistic, sustainable and balanced approach to life with home and location in sync.<img alt="69-Dug-4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/69-Dug-4.width-800.jpg" width="800">The two-bedroom courtyard townhouse is fully renovated throughout, providing an emotional lift through warmth in winter and coolness in summer, along with a connection to the outdoors.<a href="/agents/homebyholly/">home.byHolly</a> real estate agent <a href="/agents/ash-costello/">Ash Costello</a> says people are happiest when life is balanced in all areas: work, play, friends, family and home.Her home.byHolly colleague <a href="/agents/sally-strang/">Sally Strang</a> agrees, having formerly lived in Cook.“I absolutely loved my time living in Cook, and anyone else who has lived in Cook will attest to the fact it’s got the best local community feeling,” says Sally. “What I also loved was not only how close it is to the city, but also the proximity to the bush.

The yard space is really private and enclosed.”The current owners are a young couple who moved from Newcastle to Canberra for study and have spent the past couple of years updating the property. Sally says they’ve done absolutely everything to it, inside and out – kitchen, bathroom, painting and landscaping.Renovated throughout and featuring gorgeous polished Tasmanian oak floors, the open-plan design living embraces functionality and flexibility, catering perfectly for the contemporary urban dweller.
