Delicate floral flourishes and a threading of gold sing against a backdrop of off-white walls. We love the blushes of pink, the soft minty greens captured so sweetly within the stained glass, and the rich feel of the timber, the textured earthy hues of the Mediterranean tiling.

An airy spaciousness combines with relaxed curves within this stunning four-bedder in tightly held Gellibrand Street. Floating regally above manicured gardens, eucalypt dotted reserve, the homes many windows capture light and landscape at every turn. Sun-drenched living areas give way to a long sunroom that makes the most of the light and the endless views. The whole home informed by an ease-of-living and a tactile organic materiality…evoking mediterranean holidays, freedom and tranquillity.

The home sits low behind terraced garden beds that teem with ground covers and rose bushes. A paved driveway curves across the sunken frontage, ushering to a double garage with the convenience of internal access. Within Jarrah timber floors and joinery bring a depth and wealth to every room, married so perfectly with the clay tones of Spanish tiling. There is a formal foyer with cupboards to hang winter coats and to the left a roomy home office, with a large bay window. Leadlight glass doors separate this area from the rest of the house, making it the ideal setup for quiet study, or working from home.

Things take on a sweeping, epic quality as you enter the vast family room and formal dining. Here a wall of windows summon blue skies, northern light and endless leafy vistas. The room is softened by the shapely curve of a flowing bar, perfect for entertaining.

Natural light streams into the wrap-around sunroom, contributing to the relaxing feel. From here you can step out onto the elevated balcony and look upon Mt Ainslie. Steps beckon to the paved alfresco stage beneath and the semi-formal gardens that teem with vibrant perennials, fruit trees and flowering camelias.

Bespoke cabinetry in buttery cream, gold handles and earthy worktops characterise the generous kitchen combined meals area. A breakfast bar is a relaxed family gathering spot and there is enough space to include a large table. The design cleverly incorporates a separate bay of cabinets, creating a tonne of storage and a variety of stations to accommodate multiple demands at the same time. This central family hub flows effortlessly to an intimate third living space, with glass sliders at each end, opening onto both the pretty front gardens and the sunroom behind.

The intimate wing houses three welcoming bedrooms, all with excellent storage. A family bathroom is softly illuminated by a glass brick wall and offers a relaxing spa bath. Adjacent sit a separate powder room. The master suite is ideally placed at the northern tip of the home and features the romantic curve of a bay window, framing painterly treetop scenes. There are two large walk-in-robes and an ensuite bathroom with full length vanity and rich stone countertop.

Timber stairs usher to a large laundry and separate powder room, flowing out to the  mudroom and garden. There is also a second garage that offers up a variety of uses, think epic wine cellar, workshop or artist studio.

Resting at the foot of Mount Ainslie and bordered to the south-east by Mt Pleasant nature reserve, a stone's throw from Braddon and the CBD - Campbell offers the best of city living and rural retreat. Shouldering Anzac Parade, War Memorial, Defence Academies, Lake Burly Griffin, the home opens to the peaceful walking trails of the reserve. It is a nice stroll to the local Campbell shops, offering a great bakery and café, and the nearby independent businesses of Campbell 5, serve up a plethora of eating, dining, shopping experiences. The home is also close to transport, a variety of public schools and the ANU.
