Forget everything you thought you knew about townhouse living. Forget the long, narrow layouts where every room is stacked in a row. Forget the designs that lack character and warmth. Forget the feeling of being hemmed in. Villa number 53 in The Sanctuary complex is gloriously wide, packed with architectural features and luxuriously sun-filled thanks to its triple aspect and position at the end of a row.

A bay window, tray ceiling feature and French doors to the immense Mediterranean-style courtyard give this home undeniable soul. Unfurling across a single level, its huge open-plan great room provides incredible flexibility and can easily be zoned for family, dining and lounge and still have space for a baby grand piano or a games area. The L-shaped kitchen goes toe-to-toe with the great room for proportions. There's plenty of elbow space for multiple cooks, plus a wonderful line of sight over everything that's happening within the home's four walls.

Bedrooms are discreetly segregated off the great room. Two generous bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom to one side, while the master bedroom on the eastern side has all the modern conveniences you'd expect of this quality, including a walk-in wardrobe and modern ensuite with dual sinks. Homes in this coveted complex are much regarded for their proximity to the adjacent Yowani Golf Course, the Old Canberra Inn, sports facilities and the University of Canberra. Shopping local is easy here too, with the North Lyneham shops less than 600m away. The culinary delights of Dickson's eat street are within 2km and you can be into the Canberra CBD by car or light rail in just minutes.
