This light-filled, separate titled, three-bedder invites exploration with its dynamic plan, arrayed across three sunny levels. Soft curves and painted brick walls speak of the past, while clever updates have created a whitewashed simplicity that brims with storage. The home is bookended by oversized courtyards that are alive with colour and life. To the rear, a palatial deck evokes images of alfresco ease, while a garden path leads beneath a green arbour, culminating in the surprise of expansive lawns and abundant vegetable gardens.
Cross is a quiet street, steps from parkland and handy to the Aranda coffee scene, Jamison Plaza, and the bustling Belconnen Precinct. The home sits shy behind deep gardens that are dotted with flowering lavender, irises, shady trees. There is a single garage with covered access and an extra granite parking bay. Entry is via a garden gate, gifting access to the northern courtyard with its high brick walls, series of arched cut-outs and wonderfully private, leafy enclosure.
We love the deep alcove that links the home to the garage and the large, welcoming foyer that is cleverly set with storage beneath the stairs. Ceramic floors give way to soft carpet as the foyer openly merges to the restful living area. Here, a trio of ribbon windows welcomes the northern light. The original bar retains the signature arches, now artfully re-imagined, creating a wonderful home office.
A choice of stairs leads to the middle level, home to a renovated kitchen combined dining with glass sliders that can be flung open to the warmth of the garden. Here, custom bench seating is supported by the translucency of different coloured wine bottles in a creative take on up-cycling. Think relaxed daily rituals, easy entertaining, and festive nights spent gathering around the outdoor chiminea.
The kitchen is arranged in a galley style with a big window above the sink that overlooks the deck and garden. This is an efficient space, finished in soothing neutrals with enduring, speckled stone worktops and banks of storage, including lots of pantry space. There are quality appliances from Miele and a one-drawer dishwasher from Fisher & Paykel.
The third and top level of the home is softly carpeted and delivers three north-facing bedrooms with elevated views out to the surrounding mountains. The master bedroom has a duo of built-in robes, and both additional rooms have excellent storage.
The family bathroom serves up a relaxing bathtub and a separate toilet and sits across from a generous internal laundry. There is rear door access straight into the garden and its uplifting habitat. Outstanding sustainability provides year-round comfort - German-engineered double glazing, all-electric appliances including RC ducted heating and cooling, solar array.
The locale makes family life easy - it is a short stroll to Teague Street Playground and Jamison Plaza. The Aranda shops are close by and it is moments to the bustling Belconnen Precinct. The home is also close to transport, schools, the Arboretum, AIS, GIO Stadium and the UC. It is a quick 12 minute drive to the CBD and the ANU.
