It's refreshing to walk into a contemporary home and not have to puzzle over how you would furnish it to make it functional. The smart design of this two-storey four-bedroom home does much of the work for you. There's a clearly defined north-facing living area, a formal dining area and family room on the ground floor centred around a gourmet kitchen that offers quality stainless-steel Smeg appliances, a pyrolytic oven, Omega rangehood and granite benchtops.

The kitchen looks out onto an expansive rear timber deck and low-maintenance landscaped yard accessible through the family room which is serviced by a powder room off the nearby laundry.

A double garage with internal access gives grocery shoppers quick and easy access to the kitchen and there are beautiful floating timber floors throughout..

Upstairs, the four bedrooms ensures everyone has their own defined space. Three rooms have built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a generous bathroom and separate toilet. The master bedroom has a walk-in-robe and ensuite with dual vanities.

At the end of a tightly held boutique complex on a generous block in Bruce and with only one common wall, this quality, private home puts you mere minutes from Radford College, Canberra Institute of Technology, the University of Canberra, Calvary Hospital, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and short public transport rides or drives to the ANU or the city.
