58 Araba Street, Aranda, ACT 2614

Dishing up a bushland tranquillity and the perfect inside/outside lifestyle, this beautifully renovated home is an elegant refuge from the hustle and bustle. A restful and restrained materiality is earthed by dark timber notes, while large windows and glass sliders welcome nature and sunlight deep within.

Resting on a loop street and surrounded by green spaces, the home is a few steps from Black Mountain Nature Reserve. A swell of soft lawn reaches to meet the long front veranda, while beautifully planted garden beds teem with plantings including an eye-catching cactus. A long driveway ushers to a gated garage that sits deep in the block, while the house itself is all whisper white rendered walls with a cheerful bright red front door, set with a sidelight in bubble glass.

If it's storage your dreaming of, this glorious home has you covered with its seamless and clever built-in-solutions, from the foyer with coat cupboard to the enormous European laundry and adjacent bespoke study nook. The kitchen manages to incorporate banks of deep drawers and endless cabinets, gifting a spot for absolutely everything.

Living, eating and cooking is arranged in an open plan, plantation shutters filtering a soft light, as large windows frame the private frontage. Glass doors can be flung open, extending the dining space to the outdoors and beautiful views of bushland, distant hills. Think bare foot transitions from timber flooring to deck and the perfect combo of sheltered and open air alfresco arrangements.

The kitchen epitomises simplicity with its minimalist all white appeal. An epic peninsula provides a relaxed place to gather and the whole space is perfectly conversational with the dining table. Recessed pull handles make life easy, as long drawers line three sides of the return, and a full-height pantry easily caters for family life.

The intimate wing serves up four peaceful bedrooms and a family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. The master suite is sequestered and open to the outdoors, with a walk-in-robe and an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom four can just as easily be utilised as a central and kid friendly living area and all bedrooms are softly carpeted. Both renovated bathrooms are finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in crisp white with concordant wall hung vanities in elegant mahogany tones.

The home is a few steps from Black Mountain Reserve and Aranda Bushland and moments from the thriving Belconnen precinct and Jamison Centre. The nearby Aranda shops boast local favorites, caf? - Two Before Ten, and homewares store - Meet Gather Collect. Within walking distance to Aranda primary school and close to a variety of public and private colleges, the home, is also close to the UC, AIS, Bruce Stadium and only 11 minutes to the CBD.
