This soulful two-bedder is tucked away within a leafy enclave and opens to easy-care courtyard gardens on two sides. Big windows welcome lots of light, and there is a lovely open flow between a choice of airy and welcoming social spaces. Organic tones and textures celebrate the bush and sit comfortably alongside an understated modernist elegance.
Vega Court is one of many small cul-de-sacs that branch off Sexton Street, think tumbled brick villas that nestle into the contours of the land. The locale places you between the expansive Aranda bushland and the busyness of the Jamison Centre and the Belconnen Precinct. This special city meets bush vibe gifts the simple pleasure of being surrounded by trees and wildlife alongside the ease and privileges of urban living.
High courtyard walls privatise the entry while a driveway delivers you into a garage with an auto-door and internal access. Within beautifully preserved vintage details- exposed brick feature walls, timber joinery, cabinetry, and panelling- sit alongside modern updates. New carpets stretch to meet soft white walls, and a curved archway echoes the decorative brickwork that is a feature of the exterior form. We love the foyer with its panelling and the mid-century modern timber front door, edged by amber sidelight.
The front living area is generous and captures the privacy and prettiness of the front courtyard- flowering lavender, camellias, and a stretch of synthetic lawn. The living area is a versatile space with an oh-so-cool mirrored wall and lots of room to accommodate work, rest, and play. There is an open flow into the kitchen combined meals where ceramic floors deliver an enduring and practical quality. Storage takes centre stage as cabinetry edges the meals space and is perfectly arranged within the renovated kitchen. There is a seamless European laundry, a big pantry, and cute open shelves to place your favourite mugs and bowls.
The rear porch is softened by purple flowering wisteria, and a neatly paved alfresco terrace invites to life in the sunshine. Again, easy-care synthetic lawn stretches underfoot, and all around there is a green and leafy privacy. Think the simple life - family, friends, communion, nature. Imagine cooking up a storm, an easy flow from inside to out, lots of privacy, and an ease of living that lets you prioritise the important things in life.
Both bedrooms serve up the texture of painted brick, big windows that capture the gardens, and original timber robes for seamless storage. Dandelions add a touch of whimsy to the original bathroom, which is a fun mix of earthy tones, including a fabulous bathtub in warm toffee. A new vanity serves up added storage, and there is the convenience of a separate powder room.
Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 12 kms to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC and only 8.9 kms to the CBD.
