This handsome three-bedroom townhouse is arrayed across two levels and reads like a sanctuary, with its simple lines, paired back aesthetic and focus on luxurious, simple living. There is a feeling of space and generosity as glass sliders open to a low maintenance courtyard, forging a wonderful connection with outdoors. Bamboo flooring stretches underfoot and sunlight plays across whisper white walls.

Is Bruce one of Canberra's best kept secrets? Nestled between the vibrant Belconnen precinct and the inner north hubs of Lyneham and O'Connor, surrounded by tranquil bushland and all just moments from the CBD. This little enclave delivers on location and community, with its collection of cafes, restaurants and the new mixed development and IGA on looping Thynne Street. And there is a feeling of endless tranquil green spaces…parklands and bush trails.

The Lincoln has settled into itself with a quiet confidence, private roads meander through this low lying development, edged by clipped hedges, flowering crepe myrtles, silver birches and magnolias. There is a hush that belies the central proximity to the UC, CIT, and Calvary Hospital. No. 28 rising alongside others of the same form, softened by greenery and temptingly close to Fern Hill Park, Lake Ginninderra and Gossman Nature Reserve.

A wide driveway ushers to a double garage with auto-panel door and internal access. The modern form, a combo of rendered walls and exposed brick. A portico shades the entryway, which opens to an impressive foyer with soaring voids and a blessing of sunshine.

The family hub is composed of a living, dining and a kitchen combined family room, all conversationally open while being nicely delineated. The modern kitchen is all banks of storage in soft neutrals with stone worktops. Entertaining, daily rituals, family meals are made easy, the home extending into the neatly curated courtyard garden.

Three secluded bedrooms are sequestered upstairs, all with built-in-storage and elevated views. The generous master bedroom drifts to a private balcony, so you can step outside and bathe in the soft evening light or welcome the morning, coffee in hand. This quiet room has a wall of storage and merges to and elegant ensuite bathroom. Both additional bedrooms have excellent storage and centre around a family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. Both bathrooms are finished in concordant natural hues, with stone counters to the large vanities. There is a separate toilet and notably another powder room downstairs, so nobody has to troop upstairs.

The central location of Bruce places you close to all the dynamic shops, restaurants and cafes of the Belconnen, Dickson, and Braddon precincts. It is an easy walk to various local eateries, including Café Momo for jumbo coffees and Qure for curry night or mini pizzas. Fern Hill Park and Gossman Nature Reserve are nearby and there are plenty of top-grade sporting facilities – AIS, Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre and Canberra Stadium. Buses are at your doorstep, and it is a mere 5kms to the CBD.
