Set over two levels, this spacious six-bedroom home, provides plenty of room for a family to grow and evolve. Original hardwood floors feature within bedrooms, while high ceilings, timber joinery and pelmets, ribboned and bottle glass, original light fittings, gift an untouched, characterful vibe. The living area has dual aspect and flow to both front and rear, with raised views to the glorious colours of the garden and a warming ingress of natural light. Yellow ribboned glass sliders invite to large dining space, spilling to balcony and sunny kitchen.

Alight with personality - warm timber, mustard yellow countertops, mosaic tiling - the kitchen captures the wonderful spirit of the 70s. Banks of cabinetry including full height pantries and separate breakfast nook, provide seamless storage and a generosity of size lends a robust air. This is a welcoming hub, capable of accommodating the whole family, hosting parties, feeding plenty. We love the glass cabinet for displaying treasures, the overlapping timber batten detail and large northern window framing landscape.

The master bedroom is adjacent to a second bedroom flowing to balcony, creating the opportunity to create a parental retreat. Featuring a walk-through-robe and ensuite, this sequestered area captures peaceful garden views.

A further four-bedrooms occupy the opposing side, providing an ideal separation. All welcome leafy views and centre around a family bathroom with separate toilet. The front facing bedroom has the benefit of a walk-in-robe with dresser and additional ensuite bathroom.

Stairs provide internal access to downstairs workroom, toilet and shower, double garage, separate studio, and laundry that spills to garden. There is ample potential here to create an apartment for inter-generational living, teen-retreat or second income.

Camelias, roses, wisteria, secret arbours, glass house, stonework, timber bridge combine to extend an experience of joy and intrigue. A sequence of iron gates and doors open to pathways, shady garden rooms. The diversity and layering beckon you to explore, to hide withinenjoying a stolen momenta peaceful natural immersion.

Adjacent to Matheison Crescent Playground and close to Mt Pinnacle Nature Reserve, the home is also handy to the dynamic Belconnen precinct, offering a plethora of shopping and dining experiences. It is not far to the Arboretum and Lake Ginninderra. Schools and transport are handy, as is the UC, Canberra Stadium, AIS and it is a mere 15 minutes by car to the CBD.
