There is a feeling of living in the country - open reserves nudge the footpaths, birds settle on the waters of the nearby wetlands, and the hills hover in the distance. This sunny three bedder delivers you to northerly sunshine, is fully electric, and champions a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Think a soothing simplicity that lets you carve out an active life that includes exploring the variety of nearby, bustling urban centres.
Ormiston is a quiet loop street surrounded by green commons, shared walking and biking paths, and open reserve. The house gazes across to the rolling expanse of Nadjung Mada Nature Reserve, and it is an easy stroll to playgrounds, ovals, and schools. While just up the road, the shops, cafés, and restaurants of downtown Harrison brim with life. The light rail is close at hand, so you can ditch the car and explore the inviting offerings of Gungahlin, the inner north, and the CBD.
The home is part of a neat row of seperate title low-lying semi-detached homes that sit behind deep gardens. The gentle brick form sits back and lets the epic surrounds do the talking - endless sky, hush of grasslands, romance of the mountain ranges. There is a simple portico that shelters the front door and a driveway that ushers to a single garage with the convenience of internal access.
Within, low maintenance ceramic floors stretch to meet freshly painted walls and big glazing's welcome light and landscape. Living is arranged in an open plan and drifts openly to a sunny courtyard garden complete with raised vegetable beds for fresh home bounties. The kitchen is both subtle and contemporary with quality all electric appliances, including a dishwasher. Sustainable upgrades - solar array, solar hot water, RC split system - allowing you to cut costs while living in comfort.
We love the way the clever plan privatises the master bedroom to the north, creating a sunny haven with direct access into the two-way bathroom. A big window frames the pretty garden - purple irises, majestic blossom tree just now budding into life. Bedrooms one and two take full advantage of the southern mountainous views, and each bedroom has excellent built-in storage.
The bathroom is spacious with floor-to-ceiling tiling in soft white, a relaxing bathtub and a luxurious rain shower. Throw in a seamless European laundry and you have the perfect sanctuary. Think comfy lounging, easy family meals, a natural togetherness. Think planting fresh herbs and tomatoes just in time for Spring. Imagine long gatherings with friends in the sunshine, plating take-out from you local favourite or cooking up a culinary storm.
Your life in Harrison:
Walking the pathways that connect to various scenic wetlands, parks, ovals, and reserves. Working out at your choice of gyms or getting active at the nearby half basketball court or District Playing Fields.
Exploring the plethora of shops and restaurants at the nearby Gungahlin precinct, with the Cornerstone Café and Bar, a local favourite. Or popping down to the local supermarket for essentials, wandering to Franklin shops for a shop at Woolies or the Asian Grocer, perhaps indulging in a treat from Meadows Frozen Custard or grabbing a caffeine hit from the Coffee Guru. It is also not far to several restaurants on Flemington Road, including the fab Thai Herb.
Staying connected via bus and light rail, with arterial roads making it a mere 17 minutes to the CBD by car.
