This is an elevated mid-century home that has been lovingly updated and maintained. Rising from the high side of the street, the house gifts private views of nature and greenery from expansive windows throughout. With three peaceful bedrooms and an EER of 5, this is a place for couples and young families to experience comfort and tranquillity minutes from some of the city's best amenities.
Mature native gardens screen and hold, and a sequence of green walled pathways serve up a delightful choice of entry. Once inside, past the large ornamental pear tree, the interior is a warm haven with layered textures and tones. Soft green carpets merge to cork floors, the central hallway opening to a family room imbued with warmth and comfort. The brick hearth is set with a gas heater and light falls from multiple large glass windows. We love the circular flow, the long living space, curving to the dining and kitchen. The dining table is set beneath a huge window that welcomes eastern light, floating treetops and blue sky, straight into the room.
The sunny kitchen is perfect for entertaining or relaxed family meals, with generous bench-tops meeting banks of country style cabinets with ample storage. A central hallway runs the breadth of the home, nicely privatising the three bespoke bedrooms. Lighting is unique, vintage and functional. Outdoor security shutters help keep the bedrooms temperate in all seasons. Graced with afternoon sun and leafy garden views, the bedrooms are generous and the master offers up a wall of built-in robes.
The bathroom is finished in soft creams and a large vanity. There is an adjacent laundry, recently retiled in Italian terracotta, that opens directly to the generous back yard offering a timber deck, spacious lawn, curving sandstone retaining wall and clever re-use of the garage slab, creating an open-air, sunny dining stage. An ample free-standing shed sits discreetly next to established trees. Lemon and cumquat trees are developing on the upper level, and fruits, vegetables and herbs sit neatly in the Corten steel planter boxes that flank the al fresco dining space.
This house is perfectly positioned on Blackman. It is surrounded by parkland and ovals, as well as a cornucopia of Canberra's best shops, eating and drinking experiences, schools and hospital. It is a mere 11 minutes' drive into the centre of Canberra and the ANU, which can both also be accessed via a bike trail that is a stone's throw from the front door. The house is close to the walking trails of Mt Painter reserve and The Pinnacle reserve. It is also walking distance to Jamison Plaza and the Belconnen precinct, including the new Capital Food Market, Bunnings, and Westfield Belconnen. Take your pick of local shops in either Macquarie or Cook, home to popular cafés like Little Oink, craft beer and pizza at the community pub To All My Friends, Kinh Do Vietnamese, The Cook Grocer and an excellent pharmacy. Aranda shops are also close by, with the famous Two Before Ten a popular breakfast spot on the weekend. It is a nice walk to Lake Ginninderra and the Lighthouse Pub. Transport and schools are close to hand, including Radford College and Macquarie Primary, and the North Canberra Hospital, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the University of Canberra are mere minutes away.
