Three bedrooms occupy the lower levels, including a bespoke extension constructed in the 1980s that created a bedroom, ensuite and deck to suit an elderly parent or a young adult wanting some personal freedom. The remaining two bedrooms share a separate rear deck and barbeque area - with one of the rooms featuring a walk-in robe that could double as a personal dressing room.

Daily living occurs on level three where you'll find a massive open plan lounge, dining and kitchen - showcasing high ceilings, a fresh decor and easy access to a full-width balcony looking across the treetops. The kitchen includes a breakfast bench, a window overlooking more greenery and ample workspace together with a superb use of storage space - but by now you'll have become accustomed to such flair in the home's design.

The living room includes another 'off-the-wall' attraction, too, with a unique raised alcove that's large enough for a rocking-chair and bookshelves yet cosy enough to feel cocooned from the hum-drum on Canberra's chilliest weekends.

The fourth level contains an attic-style bedroom that's bound to become everyone's favourite sleeping quarters, with it's a-framed ceiling and gorgeous views of the night sky as you drift off each evening as well as a built-in desk for study or late-night work.

Both bathrooms are well appointed with white tiling and vanities and, of course, there's a double garage for your vehicles. There's more space above the garage, too, with a studio that's large enough for hobbies and pastimes, all accessed by a folding ladder.

Carpeted throughout and brushed with clean, neutral tones, this is a home that effortlessly blends character, ambience and function with an exterior that definitely feels semi-rural. But with the Jamison Centre just a kilometre down the road, together with a range of excellent schools and facilities nearby, you'll always be assured of city convenience.
