192 Dexter Street

Cook ACT 2614

Dexter Street is dotted with intriguing and well-tended modernist townhouses and cottages, all sitting behind pretty native gardens, towering eucalypts. And no 192. fits right in?looking neat as a pin and oozing a freshly updated vintage appeal. Matt black trim throws in a contemporary vibe and marries with the neat brickwork of the original home. A driveway ushers to a single garage with internal access. A camelia twined arbour, ushers down the proverbial garden path and up to the elevated front porch, neatly clad in black panelling with big button wall hooks, for hanging hats and scarves.
?
The interior is all about texture and tone and an easy-going connection with nature. Floating timber floors are warming underfoot and walls are painted crisp white, while matt hardware introduces a threading of contemporary black, to match the windows and exterior. In a homage to the natural bush surrounds the kitchen is finished in storm grey, while the bathroom tiles combine slate grey with a beautiful soft green.
?
We love the way the textured tiled splash back in the kitchen continues to the ceiling and the stone worktops waterfall to the floor. There is plenty of storage, including a large pantry and a wine-rack in a pop of timber. All electric appliances and a dishwasher from LG make life simple and there is the perfect open conversational vibe with the open plan dining and space.
?
Glass sliders make it easy to spill to outdoors, where a slender balcony steps down to a large open timber deck. From here you can look out over the large garden, with its combo of lawn, vegetable beds and leafy trees. There is a dedicated firepit area and a gate that gifts access to green reserve, with pathways that connect to The Jamison Centre.
?
There are two welcoming bedrooms with built-in-robes and large windows that capture leafy views. The play of light within the family bathroom highlights the gentle textures and tones of the gorgeous tiling. The chevron patterned feature wall is a feast of texture that adds to the experience of the glassed shower. There is also a freestanding tub and elegant storage by way of a large, mirrored shaving cabinet and wall hung timber vanity.
