There is something special about split-level design, the way the build is effortlessly incorporated into the angle of the land, maximising space and light and creating interesting architectural lines. No.10, expands horizontally across three levels, capturing the heart with its combo of tone and texture, glorious, raked ceilings, airy voids.
This special three-bedder has been beautifully renovated, and artfully combines a cool mid-century modern vibe with contemporary elegance. Ideally placed just moments from a heady mix of bohemian cafes, buzzing metropolitan centres and bushland reserves, the home is a classic low maintenance haven and chic urban pad dream.
Brick walls extend blade like, creating a seamless, textured privacy, the form rising from expansive lawns, all classic light brick, terracotta rooftiles and large timber glazing's. A long veranda creates a significant, sheltered entry point and is quite the spot for entertaining or simply relaxing among the trees.
There is a wonderful transparency to the generous living area, as walls of glass frame landscape and beckon to the private terrace. A gas fireplace provides a warming focal point and there is plenty of room for a composition of cosy couches, the large windows framing the long garden and reaching arms of a sculptural white gum.
Upstairs there is a romantic layering of story, as vintage panelling, warm timber joinery, raked ceilings, soaring voids sit in happy combo with sleek laminated cabinetry, stone worktops. The new kitchen perfectly composed in crisp whites with warm timber notes, as seamless cabinetry meets stone worktops. There are delicate nooks for curated display and the perfect open conversation with the airy dining area that spills to a shady alfresco stage within the leafy rear courtyard.
The top level is given over to two welcoming bedrooms that capture views across Belconnen to the mountains beyond. The adjacent family bathroom is roomy and there is the convenience of a separate powder room. The bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in elegant white, matched with earthy ceramic floors that seamlessly transition to edge the bathtub. There is an additional third bedroom sequestered on the ground level and all bedrooms have built-in-robes.
Adding to the convenience is a single garage with an automatic door, providing secure parking and additional storage. Its thoughtful design aligns with the home's low-maintenance appeal, ensuring both functionality and ease of living.
Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
