Overview

tranquil escape

This striking four-bedroom residence balances strong architectural form with soaring volumes, considered glazing and a sophisticated, moody palette. Unfolding across two levels, the home has been cleverly zoned for family life, with generous spaces for gathering and retreat connected by a dramatic central void and sculptural timber staircase. Crisp white walls amplify the natural light, while deep midnight tones lend warmth, contrast and a sense of understated luxury. There is an effortless relationship between inside and out. Bespoke glazing captures leafy garden views, while expansive glass sliders open the living spaces to the alfresco terrace, Vergola and shimmering magnesium plunge pool. The result is a home that feels open, light-filled and wonderfully connected to its surrounds. No.14 sits privately behind established greenery, including a grove of magnolias bursting with oversized pink blooms. Rosemary spills along the verge, steppers punctuate the lawn and tree ferns gather within a cosy window nook. A tranquil fishpond adds the gentle sound of water, completing the home's peaceful garden setting. A shaded portico opens to an airy foyer, where the architecture immediately makes an impression. Double-height ceilings create a wonderful sense of volume, while high-set clerestory windows draw natural light deep into the interior. A sculptural pendant accentuates the height of the space, illuminating the warm timber staircase as it rises to the private upper level. Nearby, the front living room looks to the garden, creating a serene place to retreat. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and living spaces flow easily to the poolside terrace beneath an adjustable Vergola. The kitchen continues the home's contemporary design language, with a substantial waterfall stone island anchoring the room and a mirrored splashback reflecting light and greenery. A generous butler's pantry keeps preparation and clean-up tucked neatly away, making entertaining effortless. Upstairs, the entire level is dedicated to the master retreat, creating a beautiful sense of privacy. Plantation shutters filter the natural light, while twin silver pendants introduce a subtle touch of glamour. An expansive walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite complete the suite, with a freestanding bathtub forming a sculptural centrepiece beneath the glow of a chandelier. Downstairs, a separate children's wing includes three bedrooms with built-in robes, a spacious family bathroom and a second living area or cinema room with direct access to the deck. It is thoughtful family zoning, connected when you want to be, with plenty of room for everyone to find their own space. Both bathrooms embrace the home's darker aesthetic, layering patterned grey tiles with black honeycomb accents and crisp white finishes. A generous laundry opens to the side garden, where raised beds brim with herbs and vegetables. There is a wonderful duality to No.14- bold architecture softened by garden, dramatic interiors illuminated by natural light, and generous communal spaces balanced by quiet retreat. The soaring void, clerestory glazing and strong architectural lines give the home its presence, while timber, greenery and shifting daylight bring warmth and softness. Lawson is a coveted enclave wrapped around Reservoir Hill, with Lake Ginninderra, parklands, playgrounds and expansive reserve all within easy reach. Belconnen's cafés, restaurants and shops are close by, along with UC, AIS, GIO Stadium and Calvary Hospital, while the inner north and CBD are easily accessible. features. .spacious contemporary four-bedroom house in Lawson .arrayed across two levels .handsome modern exterior .driveway access to a double garage with internal access .stunning entryway – double height void, open foyer and front living area .sculptural pendant light .open plan kitchen, dining and living .sheltered outdoor entertaining overlooking heated magnesium swimming pool .generous kitchen with lots of storage, including a large butler's pantry .matt black and white cabinetry, mirrored splashback, electric oven and induction cooktop, integrated range and dishwasher from Miele .under stair storage .second living area or cinema room with glass sliders onto the deck .downstairs powder room .master suite sequestered upstairs .bedroom with walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom .ensuite with walk-in-shower room, freestanding bathtub and twin basins .three additional bedrooms downstairs, all with built-in-robes .internal laundry with direct garden access .family bathroom with bathtub and separate toilet .both bathrooms finished in luxury floor-to-ceiling tiling .solar array .solar hot water .RC ducted heating and cooling .excellent additional storage .established gardens with magnolias, natives, Japanese maples and dedicated herb and vegetable beds .close to parks, playgrounds and reserves .handy to the bustling Belconnen precinct, the UC, GIO stadium, AIS and Lake Ginninderra .15 kms to the CBD Fine details (all approximately) Land Size: 608 sqm Build Size: 241.11 sqm Garage Size 51.19 sqm EER: 5.5 Built in: 2016 Land Value: $738,000 (2026) Rates: $2,547.80 pa Rental Estimate: $850 p/w Disclaimer: The information contained in this advertisement is derived from sources we deem reliable.
