14 Gwen Meredith Loop, Franklin, ACT 2913

Perfectly located directly opposite parkland!

What a position, directly opposite peaceful parkland and the meandering green commons that you get to enjoy every day. This fabulous locale gives you ready access to walking trails that traverse a tree dotted green sanctuary, connecting to several ponds, all the way to the endless expanse of Mulangarri Grasslands Nature Reserve.

The exterior is a nice combo of dark and whitewashed brick and has a deep portico that shelters the entryway. On one side a driveway ushers to a double garage and there is the convenience of internal access. A neat row of conifers edges the deep front garden which is laid with easy-care pebbles in a salt and pepper mix of black and white. The bright red door is both welcoming and great Feng shui and is inlaid with pretty stained glass.

Within large format white ceramic flooring stretches to meet soft grey walls. The front living area and combined dining space, spilling to a side courtyard and paved alfresco living. A trio of windows frame the bushland across the way creating a feeling of peaceful remove. We love the three galleries, cut within the back wall, echoing the trio of windows and gifting a spot for curated display, chosen photographs or art.

The open plan kitchen and living area is a welcoming family hub with plenty of space for dining and lounging. Glass sliders extend the space to the outdoors where a gazebo provides a sheltered outdoor haven for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends.

The kitchen is an elegant combination of organic hues?flax and soft creams, with striking black stone worktops. The tiled splashback has the lovely texture and gentle pearlescent sheen of handmade tiles, and there is a long island bench for meal prep and relaxed gathering. There is ample storage and a clever side station, ideal for a perfectly curated coffee bar. This is a generous space, perfect for robust family life with all its comings and goings and wonderful connection to outdoors.

The master suite is nicely sequestered at the end of the home and has a walk-in-robe, and an elegant ensuite bathroom. While a duo of additional bedrooms, all with built-in-robes, centre around a handy three-way family bathroom with a tub. Both bathrooms are finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling in gentle cream, with simple lines of glass mosaics in a combo of soft grey and earthy brown.

Franklin Life:

Walking to ponds, wetlands and woodlands via a myriad of interconnecting paths. Working out at the nearby gyms on Flemington Road or getting active at Harrison Playing Fields and Football Field.

Exploring the plethora of shops and restaurants at the nearby Gungahlin precinct with the Cornerstone Caf? and Bar, a local favourite. Or popping down to the local Franklin shops for a shop at Woolworths or the Asian Grocer, indulging in a treat from Goodberry's Frozen Custard or grabbing a caffeine hit from the Coffee Guru. It is an easy walk to several restaurants on Flemington Road including the fab Thai Herb.

Well connected via bus and light rail, with arterial roads making it a mere 16 minutes to the CBD by car.
