Arrayed across two levels, this sophisticated four-bedder has a decided serene presence, a lovely balance of social spaces and spills to outdoors on two sides. Light is welcomed via large windows, and glass sliders, and warm timber floors stretch underfoot.

We love the quiet meander along the private driveway off Kinloch Street, past the rows of neat terraces and beneath the shady reach of established trees. The happy golden yellow of so many kangaroo paws, and dotting of beautiful plantings, making the entry sequence, lush and oh so welcoming.

The ground floor effortlessly incorporates a generous kitchen, light filled meals and living area. This warm family gathering space, spills to a slender patio. From here you look out across flat lawn, as high garden walls gift privacy and seclusion.

Banks of cabinetry in elegant provincial style, including a full-height pantry, meet elegant black granite counter tops…a long peninsula gifting a relaxed spot to gather. The kitchen and social arena, warmly conversational with a wonderful open connection to outdoors. Entertaining and family meals are made easy, with everything at your fingertips and quality appliances at the ready, from Bosch, Miele and Smeg.

The joyful northern living area is flanked by shelving and cabinetry for efficient storage, curated display. Sunlight paints the timber floors, the whole room spilling to the delightful sun dappled terrace and pretty gardens. One imagines life spent outdoors, the table set for plenty, spending peaceful times with family and friends.

Upstairs it is all soft carpet and soothing elevated views. You can take in the mountains from bedrooms one and two while the master drifts to its own private balcony. Serving up a walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom with twin basins, this elegant parental retreat is all breezes and outlook…think evening drinks as the sun fades across the rooftops. The fourth bedroom is large enough to accommodate a double bed and could just as easily be utilised as a home office.

The family bathroom offers a deep relaxing spa tub and both bathrooms are concordantly finished in crisp white, with earthy floor tiles and simple stripes of delicate mosaics. Notably there is a powder room downstairs so nobody has to traipse upstairs and there is also an internal laundry with great storage. Parking is taken care of with double garage with auto doors and the convenience of internal access.

Bruce is ideally situated a mere 5kms from the CBD and not far to all the boutique eateries and shops of the Belconnen, Dickson and Braddon precincts.
It is an easy walk to various local eateries, including Café Momo for jumbo coffees and Buddha bowls and Qure for curry night or mini pizzas. The exciting new mixed development, Ives is nearby with the new IGA now open for all your essentials. Fern Hill Park and Gossman Nature Reserve are handy and there are plenty of top-grade sporting facilities – AIS, Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre and Canberra Stadium.
