The wonderful 70s spirit of this five bedroom family home shines through, with contemporary updates bringing a fresh and inviting feel. Generous living spaces connect effortlessly throughout the home, leading out to a fabulous entertaining deck, while a separate downstairs apartment adds another dimension to the layout. Arched entryways, slate floors and warm timber joinery bring texture and character, complemented by large windows overlooking the surrounding greenery.
Positioned at the end of a quiet cul de sac, the home has a lovely presence with its peaked roofline, elevated front patio and established gardens. Bluestone walls edge winding pathways through a beautiful mix of trees, including a productive fig, while raised herb beds, native plants, flowering roses and ground covers add colour and interest.
The generous front living area features a raw brick wall, slow combustion fireplace and large windows framing leafy views. An arched entry leads into the contemporary kitchen, with a meals area at one end and a cosy sitting nook at the other. Beyond, a second living and dining area is surrounded by windows, creating the feel of a sunroom with lovely north easterly light. There is plenty of room to gather, unwind or work from home, with glass doors opening directly onto the expansive timber deck.
Entertaining is made easy with a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring stone worktops, quality appliances and ample storage. The sheltered deck feels like an outdoor living room, complete with ceiling fans, power for a TV and the added convenience of an outdoor toilet. The beautifully landscaped garden feels like a tropical oasis as the backyard unfolds with soft green lawns, established plantings and winding pathways edged with yuccas, succulents and fruiting trees, offering plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors.
The master bedroom overlooks the front garden and enjoys a walk through robe and ensuite bathroom. Three additional upstairs bedrooms all feature built in robes, with a beautifully renovated family bathroom finished in soft grey tones. Downstairs, the separate apartment provides a wonderful addition to the home, complete with its own street access, fifth bedroom, ensuite, storage and a handy tea and coffee bay. It is a versatile space, ideal for guests, extended family or those seeking a little extra independence.
Spence is loved for its friendly community, established greenery and convenient location. The home is just a short stroll from a grassy reserve and Spence Shops, with Melba Shops and the popular Mamé Café also nearby. Walking trails around Mt Rogers, local schools and public transport are all within easy reach, along with the Belconnen precinct, University of Canberra, AIS and Bruce Stadium. The inner north and CBD are also an easy commute away.
