Cooling cross-breezes enter the home via banks of louvred windows, the winter garden poised above the blue water of the swimming pool. Timber floors flow seamlessly underfoot and there is the feel of a resort - open plan living and master bedroom blurring to the perfect alfresco experience. Think transparency, lofty curved ceilings and lots of northern sunshine. This stunning four-bedder is architecturally designed and beautifully renovated, delivering on space and an ideal, inside outside tranquility.
Cumpston Pace is a quiet loop street, literally surrounded by open reserves, green commons and parklands. The home sits behind deep front gardens with a long driveway ushering to a double garage that sits deep within the block. The form is all simple lines - flat roofline, broad fascia, natural brick walls - melding into the leafy surrounds. A ramp provides accessible access to the broad timber front door, opening onto a clever foyer or mudroom, with timber shelving and hanging space.
The pallet is rich and warm, with lots of floor-up timber, double glazed windows and a threading of texture, notes of dove grey, hints of honeyed bronze. We love the delicate graining to the kitchen cabinetry, its lightness evocative of driftwood. It suits the holiday mood of the home - long summers, cooling ceiling fans in bronze hues, endless swimming and easy entertaining informed by air and light. On cooler nights, think dinner parties warmed by the ambient glow of an inset gas fireplace.
And let's talk about clever design - the big central kitchen with floating island, open laundry neatly tucked to one side, sequestered master bedroom that opens via timber door straight into the winter garden. Here a walk-in-robe and a large ensuite bathroom gift everything you need, big windows frame the front garden and the office or guest bedroom across the way creates a generous master suite experience.
The opposing side of the home serves up a duo of bedrooms, both with lovely light and great storage. The family bathroom has a separate toilet and a relaxing spa bath and both bathrooms are finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in white with touches of texture and natural bushland hues. Throw in double-glazing, RC heating and cooling, a big sub-floor wine cellar and you have a home of quality and finesse. One can imagine a life here - memory making, celebrating, hosting all and everyone and always relishing the natural openness combined with a perfected privacy.
MacGregor is a peaceful, established suburb, bordered by vast reserve and open pastures. The home is handy to Kippax, famous for its variety of excellent shops and great coffee. Spence and Melba are not far, with Mamé café, in Melba court being a local favourite. The Belconnen precinct is close to hand, extending a plethora of entertainment and eating experiences. The home is also close to schools, the walking trails of Lower Molonglo Nature Reserve, playgrounds, Lake Ginninderra, AIS and the UC. It is a mere 14.9kms to the CBD.
