Scullin is the kind of leafy suburb where kids ride bikes on quiet streets and families stroll to nearby parks, whisper quiet yet super close to the dynamic Belconnen shopping and entertainment precinct, handy to the CBD, the locale is in high demand.

Set back from the road, protected by shady garden, sits this handsome, three-bedroom family home. Large windows fill the home with light and multiple, robust social arenas encourage gathering. The home flows to rear courtyard, with alfresco dining, perfect for bringing the family together or entertaining large groups of friends.

Sitting low within the verdant site, the home is sheltered by a beautiful array of established plantings. Terracotta paving lines a private driveway, edged with mature hedging, leading to auto garage with internal access. A path ushers to shady porch, completing the charming entryway.

The front living area is cosy yet spacious, with prominent glazing, framing peaceful views to the street and garden. A striking black pendant lends a modern edge and easy-care ceramic tiling, extends throughout the social arenas. The minimal palette of white combined with soft earthy tones imbues the entire home with a soothing, casual grace.

The open kitchen, family room, flows directly to rear courtyard and shady dining arena.

There is plenty of space for the kids to gather around the table inside or out. The use of earthy stone bench tops and soft oak coloured cabinetry, lends an easy utilitarian flair. Ample storage, stainless steel appliances marry style and efficiency, while the island bench is a relaxed spot for family and friends to interact during meal prep. Think kids to and throwing from inside to out, precious time spent together or relaxed dinner parties spilling to garden.

Sitting behind the kitchen is a convenient laundry with handy access straight to the garage.

Two generous bedrooms benefit from large windows that provide light and aspect while built-in-cabinetry assures seamless storage. The third bedroom could just as easily be utilised as a wonderful home office.

Minimally appointed in white, with feature tiling in the soft browns of river stones, the bathroom has been renovated to include a tub and clean, frameless glass shower.

Vine draped arbour, shady feature tree and leafy walls imbibe the rear garden room with a peaceful serenity. Easy-care, the area is a lovely pocket of green and wonderful additional social space for quiet reflection or celebrating with friends.

Scullin is a family friendly suburb, close to the Belconnen precinct with ample green spaces and amenable to Pinnacle nature reserve. The home is close to transport and a choice of schools. There are several playgrounds nearby and it is an easy walk to Scullin Oval. Lake Ginninderra is close to hand as well as Bruce Stadium, AIS, the UC and the home is a mere 15 minutes to the CBD.
