Overview

#soldbymcreynolds #soldbycris $1,310,000 A lovely home full of heart! French doors engage with the delicate greens of the garden and the alfresco terrace, shaded by and age-old snow ball tree. Green walls screen and enclose and pathways wind past the tumbling colours of roses. This inspiring French country three-bedroom home serves up an oh so refined and tranquil mood. Living spaces unfold with effortless grace and bespoke glazing's welcome the outside in. The word perfection springs, the thoughtful renovation feels seamless and the whole home is informed by a warm and inviting family ethos. The gentle materiality of the whole home engages the senses and serves up comfy, liveability. Oak floorboards flow underfoot and walls are painted a soft white. There is plenty of space for family life to unfold with ease. Think relaxing on comfy lounges within the front living area, lovely celebrations within the big dining room and relaxed family meals at the kitchen table. The white kitchen is perfectly arranged and delivers banks of seamless cabinetry, stone worktops and quality appliances, including an integrated Bosch dishwasher. Home baking and laid-back connections with family and friends' springs to mind. Entertaining is a dream, both the kitchen and dining area spilling onto a gorgeous alfresco area, neatly laid with classic Canberra reds. There are two big double bedrooms with built-in-robes and a third bedroom which could easily be utilised as a home office. The family bathroom is all elegance and simplicity, tiled in seamless floor to ceiling limestone. We love the simple lines of the wall hung vanity and the Italian stone counter top basin. Light tumbles through the glass ceiling that sits perfectly above the bathtub, so you can stargaze while you soak. A European laundry is tucked away within a wall of built-in-cabinetry and there is a clever console set at the end of the hallway. Here the slanting glass ceiling continues, delivering an ambient glow. This lovely lightwell is a great spot to pause on entry or exit - a glass door opens onto the back garden with its cascading white roses. The garden is a treasured space that accommodates multiple family scenes of connection, celebration and relaxation. Think travelling the pathway that circumnavigates the house, think an enclosed suburban oasis, long summer evenings, garden gatherings and generous shared time. Underpinning it all is the city lifestyle…stroll to the local Gang Gang café/bar for live music, great food and coffee. Explore the vibrant Braddon scene or head to the Dickson precinct for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. The home is handy to Burn and Tardent Street Playgrounds and it is not far to Micro-Forest and parkland. The home is also handy to a great choice of schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD. .features list .beautifully renovated three-bedroom home in the heart of the inner-north .loved and beautifully cared for by the current owner .nestled within magical cottage gardens .semi-enclosed front veranda .circular flowing living, dining, and kitchen .engineered oak floors .dining room with French doors opening onto the garden .kitchen also spilling to the garden, with banks of seamless cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, stone worktops, tiled splashback, Bosch electric oven, Omega induction cooktop, Westinghouse rangehood and integrated dishwasher from Bosch .two double bedrooms with built-in-robes .third bedroom or home office .floor to ceiling limestone tiling within the family bathroom .frameless glass shower, wall hung vanity, Italian stone basin, relaxing bathtub .European laundry and additional built-in-cabinetry .built-in-console and glass door with garden access .RC heating and cooling unit .ducted gas heating .Roman blinds .recycled brick alfresco area .stunning cottage gardens inspired by Paul Bangay - green hedged walls, established shady trees and lots of beautiful roses .soft lawn and vegetable garden with raised beds .private driveway ushering to a double garage .large workshop or storage area .handy to buzzing and friendly Downer shopping village .moments from the bustling Dickson and Braddon precincts .close to transport including the light rail and stone's throw from the CBD and ANU Finer Details (all approx.)
