A thoughtful plan has created privacy and balance, as open plan living opens to garden on two sides and the master bedroom is sequestered from the family wing. Organic elements speak to the natural bush surrounds, from the raw brick hearth to the sage green country style kitchen cabinetry. All-in-all there is a relaxed, leafy family vibe, fit for memory making, with a tonne of garden space to make your own.
Enclosed and sheltered by deep gardens, shady trees and courtyard walls framing a broad alfresco terrace, the home has an enviable and peaceful natural immersion. Brownless is a quiet loop street, just moments from Umbagong District Park Run and handy to Kippax Fair. Country tranquillity meets city convenience, the home also whisper close to the bustling Belconnen precinct and a mere nineteen minutes to the CBD.
We love the entry sequence, its beautiful mix of natives and perennials, with quartet of pencil pines marking the transition from the organic to the ordered. The front terrace, all hand crafted garden walls and squared box hedging. What a fabulous sunny stage for living alfresco, partly connected to the comings and goings of the street, deeply private and generous enough for plenty.
Within new easy-care timber plank vinyl flooring flows underfoot and walls are freshly painted creamy white. All the bedroom have brand new soft carpeting and there are newly installed LED downlights. Yet there remains a gentle vintage feel to the home, with its high ceilings and pretty front door, set with stained glass inlays.
The social hub is wonderfully light, with a vast living and dining combo, and that warming slow combustion fire, set against so much tumbled brick. Enormous windows welcome sunshine and there is an easy flow to the broad kitchen, combined meals area. From here you can take in the large back garden, the large window rising from floor level, and capturing soft lawns, leafy trees.
It's hard not to fall in love with the country provincial stylings of the kitchen, its white tiled walls and array of sage green cabinetry. There is a sweet, curved breakfast bar, so the kids can hang and chat while you cook and a bank of pantry storage set aside on the far wall. One imagines many hands making light work, shared meals, lingering chats, entertaining fireside or long evenings spent on the sunny front patio come summer.
The master bedroom is privately placed beyond the living area and offers everything you need ? built-in-robe and ensuite bathroom, complete with tiled shower room. Way over on the opposing side of the home there are three additional and welcoming bedrooms. Each room has a built-in-robe and all three centre around an elegant family bathroom and separate toilet.
Alfresco paving gives way to soft lawn within the private back garden. There is plenty of space for the kids to play and explore and lots of scope for the green thumb to go wild. On one side of the home a driveway leads to a gated double carport and there is also a handy storage room and garden shed for all your tools.
MacGregor is a peaceful, established suburb, bordered by vast reserve and open pastures. The home is handy to Kippax, famous for its variety of excellent shops and great coffee. Spence and Melba are not far, with Mam? caf?, in Melba court being a local favorite. The Belconnen precinct is close to hand, extending a plethora of entertainment and eating experiences. The home is also close to schools, the walking trails of Lower Molonglo Nature Reserve, playgrounds, Lake Ginninderra, AIS and the UC. It is a mere 18 minutes to the CBD by car.
