Leafy, light-filled and wonderfully private, this renovated home in Garran combines everyday comfort with a calming garden outlook. A covered timber boardwalk leads to a welcoming yellow front door and cottage-style window boxes, creating an inviting first impression.
Inside, the open plan living and dining area is framed by full-height glass doors that open to the deck, complemented by a wall of custom cabinetry. The kitchen is timeless yet practical, featuring Shaker cabinetry, electric appliances, polished timber floors and excellent storage, all set against a leafy backdrop.
Both bedrooms are generously sized and enjoy peaceful garden views. The main opens directly to the deck, making for an easy morning coffee in the sun. The bathroom is a true highlight, with a spa bath positioned beneath full height windows overlooking a private courtyard, plus a separate shower and integrated laundry.
Outdoors, the home shines as a private retreat. A wide entertainer's deck steps down to beautifully landscaped gardens with meandering brick paths, bird-attracting plantings and two ponds connected by a creek and water feature - a genuine backyard sanctuary.
From Gilmore Crescent, residents enjoy easy access to walking trails, Canberra Hospital, several primary and secondary schools, Garran Shops, Woden Town Centre and key institutions within the Parliamentary Triangle.
