Step into style and comfort with this stunning property in Cook. From the designer interiors to the beautifully manicured gardens, this home is sure to delight the most discerning of buyers. The original house was designed in the Sydney School style by the renowned architect Neil Renfree and built by David Trend Constructions in the 1960s. Updated from the original, the home seamlessly blends mid-century style with modern renovations that are both beautiful and functional.

The well-designed layout comprises a formal lounge with a built-in study nook flowing to the spacious family and dining area with a central kitchen. Large sliding double-glazed doors in the living space opens the home to the paved entertaining areas and gardens for seamless indoor-outdoor summer living while keeping the house warm in winter.

Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, all with built-ins and full double-glazed windows providing abundant natural light and a leafy outlook from every room. The main bedroom is separate from the rest and has a walk-in robe and updated ensuite, and kids will love the second bedroom with a mezzanine sleeping area and reading nook. The fully renovated main bathroom is a sanctuary of relaxation with floor-to-ceiling tiling, Australian Hoop Pine ply ceiling and a full-size stone bath, perfect for unwinding after a long week.

The warm tones of Australian Wormy Chestnut hardwood floors and the bespoke Hoop Pine ply with inset LED lighting that lines the soaring raked ceilings create an inviting and cosy aesthetic you'll love coming home to. The custom Hoop pine ply continues to the contemporary kitchen, where it is perfectly balanced by the concrete and stainless-steel benchtops by Select Custom Joinery. The Bosch induction cooktop and oven, Miele dishwasher, and ample storage make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful.

The standout feature is the large, north-facing window in the family room with a built-in window seat. With direct winter sun and eaves to shade the window in the summer, this is the perfect spot to curl up with a coffee and a book all year round. Custom Birch plywood joinery gives you added storage - the ideal place for all the family board games.

While the window seat is particularly appealing, the whole home has been designed to be warm and comfortable in Canberra's; winters, with R5 ceiling and wall insulation and double glazing throughout. The house is heated with efficient, European-style hydronic heating with radiators in all rooms and bathrooms and a Danish Morso slow-combustion stove mounted on a brick feature wall, which acts as a thermal mass for continued radiant warmth.

Additional features include ceiling fans throughout for comfortable summer airflow, a European-style laundry with stainless steel benchtop and space for washing machine and dryer, a two-car carport with lockable storage area, and extra off-street parking space.

Large sliding doors open from the lounge to the paved alfresco area with a black cantilevered steel pergola. This is a delightful spot for entertaining, with wisteria to shade the area in summer and let the sun filter through in winter. The established gardens beyond are low-maintenance and offer a cornucopia of treats for your fruit bowl, including lime, apple, lemon, quince, fig, feijoa, and grapefruit trees. With a herb garden, chicken coop, compost, and a new 3,600L rainwater tank, you can enjoy garden-to-table eating all year round. Completing the fenced and private yard is a large lawn area for kids and pets with an established Elm tree to provide shade for the yard and house in the summer.

Ideally situated opposite a large parkland area and just a stone's throw from a second playground and Mt Painter Nature Reserve, this home offers quiet living surrounded by nature and the convenience of being a 4-minute walk to Cook shops and transport. Also close are quality schools, universities, and Jamison shops, with Belconnen a 10-minute drive and Civic approximately 9km away.

Architecturally designed and beautifully updated with an eye for style and comfort, this home offers warm, stylish living in a quiet, leafy locale. Don't let this one pass you by; call Phyllis or Eva today for an inspection and start living your best life.
