attractive home and garden. The family shared a deep love of
horticulture, natural history and all things outdoors. Like the
Vireya Rhododendrons that have been cultivated here over the years,
this home has been nurtured from the ground up and has flourished
into something unique and beautiful. It is a home that blends into
the natural environment with views from every room.

Capturing the essence of family, welcoming light fills the central
kitchen hub and is surrounded by generous flowing living spaces,
offering numerous places to sit and contemplate. Fall in love with
the character, natural textures and classic features: polished
Karri timber flooring, timber panelling, exposed brick, custom
built carpentry and a slow combustion stove which adds to the
feeling of warmth.

The relationship with the outdoors is uninterrupted, with views to
the Brindabellas from the front, and the private picturesque garden
at the rear. Glass doors open onto the north and north-west-facing
timber deck, shaded by ornamental grapevines, overlooking a paved
eating area and garden. The landscaped garden is designed to
capitalise on the changing seasons of Canberra with fruit trees,
berries, fertile veggie beds and selected ornamental plants.
Additionally there is a large ventilated glasshouse with
controllable light and plentiful storage suitable for horticultural
pursuits.

An excellent example of Canberran suburban design, Melba was
planned to connect residents with community, facilities and nature.
The green belt at the end of the Close is a treasured recreational
asset, running from the local primary school to the steps of Mt
Rogers. The Mt Rogers Reserve and loop walking track are draw-cards
for locals enjoying exercise, dog walking and natural history. And
the community on Saville Close speaks for itself, with many
residents remaining in the street since they built together in the
70s.
