Elevated, private and set within metres of Mount Majura Nature Reserve!
This commanding energy efficient double brick three-bedroom ensuite home is beautifully angled on a sweeping corner block, with the rear of the property facing north capturing the winter sun and filled with lovely established gardens and green walls. Elegant and spacious it is the ideal combination of soulful vintage and contemporary notes, creating a home for the here and now, with just the right amount of future proofing. Double glazing, heat pump hydronic heating and solar array keep things sustainable, temperate and economical.
Meanwhile this beauty unfolds with grace and ease, gifting plenty of spaces for connection, play, restoration and memory making. A soft organic materiality marries with the art deco stylings, creating a warm forever home that feels earthy, solid and so welcoming.
Within grey ironbark timber floors flow underfoot…the welcoming foyer connecting you to the glorious, combined living and dining area. There is a gas fireplace with a timber mantle and a choice of airy alfresco stages. Glass sliders can be opened, welcoming cross breezes…the living area drifting to that long front veranda that captures views of Mt Ainslie. While the dining space spills to the rear, embracing timber decking and pretty northern gardens. Think long summers lived outdoors…. with family and friends, the barbecue humming and simply enjoying the glorious surrounds.
The kitchen is all warm timber and black granite, with large windows that act as serveries onto the deck. Conversations can flow back and forth, the kitchen open to both the formal dining area and the relaxed alfresco decking that extends the home into the leafy garden. There is a large walk-in-pantry, quality appliances and an adjacent laundry finished concordantly with black stone counters.
The master bedroom captures mountain views, has a walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two has a large built-in-robe and opens to a lovely balcony, floating you within the sunshine and serene botanical oasis. While the third bedroom or home office overlooks the front garden. There is also a central family bathroom, finished in soft organic toned floor-to-ceiling tiling with a deep bathtub set beneath the windows.
A curved balustrade echoes the black wrought iron of the front veranda and ushers to the downstairs rumpus or studio, with glass doors that open onto the garden. Here textured slate floors create warmth and texture…it's the perfect teenager's retreat, professional home office or fabulous games room. The cool under house climes making the storage rooms ideal for home cellaring, while also providing wonderful additional storage.
Dunlop is the kind of idyllic street where everybody knows their neighbours and kids can ride their bikes within the nearby reserve. The home is handy to the dynamic precincts of Dickson, Braddon and amenable to the charming inner-north centres of Ainslie, O'Connor and Lyneham, extending a vibrant mix of independent cafés and shops. Close to transport and a variety of schools, the home is enviably positioned, a mere 13 minutes to the ANU and CBD.
