#soldbycris #soldbymcreynolds The spherical pink Callistemon is a living sculpture, setting the scene from the get-go, as a garden path ushers past a layering of beautiful, clipped plantings. This elegantly renovated two bedder openly embraces manicured gardens on two sides. Big windows welcome light and landscape, while timber joinery delivers a soulful warmth. There is a decided sense of leafy calm, despite the handy proximity to the popular Cook Shops, Jamison Centre, and the bustling Belconnen precinct.The home is part of the idyllic, low-lying boutique development known as Fitzroy Gardens. Built in the mid-eighties, the neat cluster of townhouses deliver an organic modernist vibe clean lines, raw brick and concrete rooftops. There is a lovely community friendliness with just nine townhouses arranged around open parkland and handy to both Mt Painter and Aranda Bushland.There is a private front porch, mid century timber front door with amber glass sidelight and the joy of a generous open plan living and dining room. Here big windows frame the colours and textures of the garden and the regal presence of the eucalypts beyond. Timber doors and joinery pop golden against the crisp white walls and there is a distinct feeling of simplicity, a perfect calm composure.The master bedroom feels botanical, with its enormous window that captures a sea of green. There is a large built in robe for seamless storage and an influx of soft, natural light. The second bedroom also has excellent storage and overlooks the back garden and pretty flowering hydrangea. The updated family bathroom is finished in crisp white floor to ceiling tiling, earthed by natural ceramic floors.The sun drenched, north facing kitchen feels relaxed and elegant and delivers banks of creamy white cabinetry topped with black stone worktops. There are all electric appliances, including a dishwasher and a wall of pantry cupboards for effortless storage. One imagines easy home creations, joyful plating of favourite take away, effortless communion with family and friends, spilling to outdoors. High green walls gift the feeling of enclosed garden room and there is the private snug of the deck with its living, flowering walls. A myriad of beautiful plantings edge soft green lawn and a garden shed is naturally screened in one corner. Throw in an automatic garage with storage for zipping in and out, internal access and an internal laundry, and you have easy living at its blissful best.Cook is a wonderful place to live, with thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails and just 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum.
