40 Yanda Street

Waramanga ACT 2611

13 years ago, the current owners were looking to start a family, they wanted a home that would suit just the 2 of them or something they could grow into over the years. They started their search, but it didnt take long for them to find 40 Yanda St - they loved it instantly! What appealed to them was that the previous owners had landscaped the gardens & created a sense of privacy with the surrounding green trees & shrubs. They were hooked & the parkland across the road sealed the deal!

In 2018 & 2011, 2 children arrived. While they still loved their home, they realised that as the kids grew up they would need to move or extend. With great neighbours & perfect location, they decided to stay & renovate. After considering a lot of different architects they decided on a local award winner - Ben Walker. Together they worked on a design that had a more contemporary look as they felt that modern design would suit the home & the area.

Completed in 2015, the extension is designed to be a parents retreat & later on a teenagers retreat however they future proofed the house by including a small kitchen so it can be segregated off & used for Airbnb or rented once the kids had grown up. The design itself is stunning with large staggered double glazed sliding doors in the main bedroom & living area that open up onto the garden, linking it to the outside world, inviting the elements in. The burnish concrete floors are surprisingly warm & adds to the many textures of the design. The original part of this home has beautiful floorboard throughout & crisp white walls with the 2 front bedrooms looking out onto the green & leafy private front garden. This beautiful family home embraces the traditional & the new. The home is designed to look into the garden, creating a real sense of privacy. Located in popular Weston Creek, what more can you ask for in a family home?
