This hospitable home brims with light from the north facing windows at the front of the house. Beautifully coloured slate tiles flow through from the dining room to a well designed kitchen with generous storage, an induction cooktop and a new Miele dishwasher.
The bathroom also has benefited from a fabulous modern redesign and features floor to ceiling slimline tiles, 2 racks of heated towel rails, a walk in shower and a free standing designer tub. The 4 bedrooms are also light filled, 3 have built ins and the master has glimpses of the Brindabella mountains.
The large, flat block features a cabin style, two room studio in the backyard which has network cabling and power, which would make a great home office, teenager's retreat or guest room.
There is an impressive array of energy saving features which ensure the home is thermally comfortable throughout the year whilst keeping power bills down.

Air conditioning, evaporative cooling, a gas wall furnace and warm smart strand carpet in living and bedrooms, also help keep things cosy in winter and cool in summer.
The convenience of this neighbourhood is first-rate. The kids can walk to school and it is a short stroll to the very popular Caf MAME in Melba Court created by ex-Courgette restaurant chefs. You can shop in the local IGA and Belconnen mall is 7 mins drive away. Copland college, Melba high school, and the lovely Ginninderra creek and Mount Rogers walking trails are also within easy walking distance.
