This stunning home gazes across to endless reserve and sits back behind landscaped gardens dotted with native grass, elegant eucalyptus and daring red kangaroo paws. The 70s form is classic Canberra late-modern, warm brick, angled roof lines and big windows that connect with nature. The new portico sets the scene for interiors that elegantly fuse the old with the new, gently nudging the home into the here and now. The big timber front door opens onto a contemporary and broad foyer that welcomes you home.
Patterned grey tiles bring a subtle natural feel indoors, while the spacious foyer offers a calm and welcoming pause. A floor-to-ceiling window fills the space with light and a sense of openness. A well placed cupboard provides practical storage for coats, bags and shoes, while internal access to the garage adds everyday convenience.
The home serves up a wonderful balanced plan with a big, central family hub that spills to the sheltered alfresco living. The front living area is sunken and cosy, with big windows that connect to the pretty front garden and the green fields across the way. You can walk along shared paths, winding beneath groves of eucalypts, connecting to green commons, all the way to local schools and shops. It is an ideal location, informed by the tranquility of the bush, yet just moments from the dynamic inner north and handy to the Lyneham and Braddon precinct and the CBD.
Walls have been freshly painted soft white and cosy carpeting stretches underfoot, maximising the welcoming vibe. This feel continues as you step down into the sunken lounge, your eye drawn to the big windows and all the colours and movement of the open landscape. From here you can step up and into the dedicated office, perfect for home study, working or creating.
The master is nicely placed at the front of the home as well - glass doors onto the garden, twin robes and a renovated ensuite bathroom. This arrangement creates the option of a private parental wing, think retiring after a long day enjoying a drink or two as the light falls over the trees.
The mood shifts as you enter the combined kitchen and dining as golden hardwood floors flow underfoot and big glass sliders deliver you to outside. This big space speaks of family life, chatty togetherness and easy entertaining. You can step outside onto a large patio with enough space for dining and lounging. One imagines big family celebrations handled with ease and days unfolding with elegant efficiency. Kids can gather at the long peninsula, small hands helping with food prep. The whole space blessed by cross breezes as glass doors on two sides can be flung open, gifting an easy saunter from inside to out.
The children's wing unfolds to the north west and serves up three bedrooms, all with built-in-robes. Big windows allow the sunlight to fall across the carpeted floors and there is the peaceful presence of the curated back garden. Bedroom two has the distinction of big glass sliders that open to the backyard. The family bathroom is a luxury affair with floor to ceiling tiling and a big slipper bath for long soaks. We love the intricate veining that introduces a threading of grey to the otherwise paired-back, white on white vibe.
Kaleen is in the Belconnen district and shoulders the inner north suburbs of Lyneham and O'Connor, connecting to Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve.
You can walk along shared paths, wending beneath groves of eucalypts, connecting to green commons, all the way to local schools and shops. It is an ideal location, informed by the tranquility of the bush, yet just moments from the Belconnen shopping precinct and the dynamic inner north and the CBD.
