The broad front terrace extends the lived experience to outdoors, complimenting the iconic blonde brick form, with its layering of gilded tones and lavish use of natural sandstone, right down to a bespoke outdoor setting, in solid stone.
Recognising the potential - great bones, high ceilings, decorative cornices, gorgeous mountain views ? a creative team has woven their magic, updating the home to exacting standards, sensitively combining the old with the new. And the result speaks for itself?the home all airy and bright, fit for both entertaining and family life, imbued with a calming serenity.
Flynn is coveted for its elevated streets and epic views of the Brindabellas. And this stunning three-bedder plus multi purpose room is ideally placed within the heights, on a quiet loop street, that meets the meandering greens of Herschell Circuit Playground. The solid double brick form, dotted with big white windows, sits low within the gently sloping block, sheltered by tiered gardens. There is a driveway on one side that ushers to tandem carport, while pedestrian entry is curated?broad steps, timber bridge across garden beds and that special patio, all twinkling golds and warming northern sunlight.
Within new easy-care laminate flooring in timber hues, stretches to meet creamy white walls. And the spaces are well proportioned, creating a wonderful sense of balance and generosity. We love the broad foyer, the high ceilings and the art deco style, patterned cornices that nod to the stained glass inlays within the front door.
The front living space faces north, embracing the golden light of the front garden and drifts to the open kitchen and dining room beyond. You can step outside from the dining area, onto a long, elevated veranda. From here, you drink in the celebratory views of the Brindabellas and look out over the expansive back yard. The stretch of flat lawn, classic hills hoist? a wonderful blank canvas, just waiting for your creative touch.
The kitchen is elegantly finished in timeless black and white and has the perfect open sociability with the dining space. Breakfast bar seating gifts a relaxed place to gather and there is plenty of storage for robust family life, including a large corner pantry. All new appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, easily caters for family meals, intimate dinner parties, large celebrations.
A slender hallway ushers to three peaceful bedrooms, all with built-in-robes for no fuss storage. The master bedroom is graced with northern light and has a lovely ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two is also north facing, while the third bedroom gazes out toward the mountains.
The white marbled patterned tiling adds a dose of texture and is matched perfectly with the dark charcoal of the ceramic flooring. Both bathrooms ushering in a sleek spa-like appeal with their seamless floor-to-ceiling finish and luxury rain showers. The family bathroom enriched by a deluxe freestanding bathtub and there is the convenience of a separate toilet.
Beneath the house there is a versatile space, fully lined and opening to the garden?think teen hang, future pool room, artistic studio or perhaps a home office. There is also a separate large work room/garden tool room, with ample space for a dream cellar, taking full advantage of the passive cooling nature of being underground.
Situated in the leafy suburb of Flynn, known for its family/community values, surrounded by green spaces, the home, also offers convenient access to the Belconnen precinct, AIS, and GIO stadium. The home is close to several fabulous local shops, including Spence and Melba, with Mam? caf?, Drunken Tiger,m and the Spence Grocer being local favorites. The home is also an easy stroll to Mt Roger's reserve, and convenient to transport, schools, and the UC, the home, and it is just 12 minutes to the inner-north, and 24 minutes to the CBD by car.
