Curtin ACT 2605

Life is arranged around the central courtyard with its choice of sheltered decking and open air patio. Tree ferns edge the window and there are long views across the lush and endless gardens. This organic five-bedder + studio throws in an element of pavilion living, the deck a walkway into the generous studio. And we love the way the main house unfolds with airy grace, as open plan living drifts to the surprise of an atrium style sunroom and glass sliders blur the lines between inside and out.Sitting pretty behind leafy front gardens, this classic blonde brick home brims with elegant surprises. Alive with the textures of timber and slate, the home delivers a warm welcome and an incredible generosity of spaces to suit every family mood and occasion. Magnificent old man Banksia trees guard the entryway, the pathway curving past beautifully planted garden beds to greet the elevated front veranda. There is also a long driveway that ushers to a sheltering carport with gated access straight into the studio beyond.The foyer is broad and long, culminating in a wall of glass crowded with lacey fronds. On the left a cosy living area overlooks the treed frontage and light tumbles through the enormous casement window. The multi-functional and dynamic kitchen, dining and lounge space connects seamlessly to the garden. While the sunroom beyond allows you to gaze at the sky, watching the play of clouds and light from the comfort of indoors.Architectural details lend an interesting bespoke design exposed beams, timber joinery and panelling, lots of glass to frame the trees, slate floors and glass brick feature walls that glow with soft light. The kitchen is finished in soft nougat and has a big floating island to gather around. Stone worktops waterfall to timber floors and there is enough space for all and everything. One imagines being spoilt for choice, think favourite spots that change with the movement of light, the always perfect balance of sunlight and shade. Think effortless daily rituals, epic entertaining and a continuous soothing connection to nature.All five bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage and soft carpet to keep things cosy. The master has an ensuite bathroom and sits privately at the very end of the home, gazing out to the established garden. The family bathroom is oh so generous and beautifully renovated. Think delicately patterned earthy tiles, frameless glass shower space and a big bathtub. The vanity delivers a pop of oak and provides lots of essential storage.Flexible living is the new buzzword and no wonder with its promise of family connection across time and generations. The studio delivers lots of open space for sleeping and living, with a separate laundry and bathroom. It is the perfect spot for an older child, spill-over guests or accommodation for elderly parents. You could work from home here too or rent it out and enjoy the extra income.Curtin is a quiet and highly coveted pocket, ideally positioned close to the bustling Woden precinct, minutes from Deakin and the Parliamentary Triangle.
