55/121 Thynne Street, Bruce, ACT 2617

The crepe myrtles are flowering pink right now?the landscaped avenues of The Lincoln, perfectly clipped and tended, teeming with magnolias and silver birches. No. 55 ideally placed, deep within this peaceful enclave and just moments from elevated bush reserve that takes in views of the surrounding mountains. Despite the central location, a few moments from the UC, CIT, and Calvary Hospital, the home is surrounded by epic natural beauty, with Lake Ginninderra and Gossman Nature Reserve just moments away.

This sunlit three-bedroom townhouse feels both calm and collected, generously proportioned and forges a wonderful connection with outdoors. Resting toward the end of a leafy cul-de-sac, the locale is an easy stroll to Fern Hill Park and the new mixed development and IGA on the looping Thynne Street. This wonderful central locale, placing you moments from the Belconnen Precinct, and all the delights of the inner-north and the CBD.

The form is freestanding and falls in line with the neat rows of low lying homes - uniform raw brick and cream facades, terracotta roof tiles - resting behind curated front gardens. Here soft lawn meets a swell of beautiful mixed plantings and entry is via a sheltering portico with raw brick columns. An exposed aggregate driveway ushers to a double garage with the convenience of internal access.

Within easy-care ceramic tiling glows white underfoot, as soft neutral walls meet large glazing's that welcome light and aspect. There is welcoming foyer, with a handy cupboard for hanging winter coats and woollies, and on your left a vast living combined dining room that welcomes with its warming light and soft carpets. A large window frames the front garden, while to the north, glass doors open wide, connecting you to a sheltered patio and peaceful alfresco dining, overlooking the lovely private side gardens.

The open plan kitchen and family area also embraces the garden, with glass sliders that can be flung open, welcoming cross-breezes and drawing the textures and aromas of nature within. There is a pleasing volume to this lovely space, the kitchen gifting ample storage, warm stone worktops and quality appliances from Smeg and a stainless-steel dishwasher from Dishlex. This is a versatile hub, that can be arranged to please, easily accommodating a home office, comfy couches, or a table set for plenty?friends and family flowing to the courtyard on warm, breezy summer evenings.

Three secluded bedrooms centre around a slender hallway that connects to a large laundry and lovely family bathroom with large corner tub. The master bedroom is generous, has a wall of built-in-robes and an ensuite bathroom. The two additional bedrooms have built-in-robes and all three are made cosy by soft carpeting. Both bathrooms are finished in concordant light schemes, with earthy ceramic floors and mosaic highlights to match.

A Japanese maple sits beneath an open pergola as fences teem with sweet smelling jasmine, soft pittosporum. The easy-care gardens wrapping around the northern edge of the home, combining stepping stones, stone walls and high timber fencing for privacy. Ideal for both celebration and repose - think alfresco dining or contemplative coffee soaking up the quality of light, the morning birdsong ? this little bit of paradise is easy-calming refuge from city living.

The central location of Bruce places you close to all the dynamic shops, restaurants and cafes of the Belconnen, Dickson, and Braddon precincts. It is an easy walk to various local eateries, including Caf? Momo for jumbo coffees and Qure for curry night or mini pizzas. Fern Hill Park and Gossman Nature Reserve are nearby and there are plenty of top-grade sporting facilities ? AIS, Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre and Canberra Stadium. Buses are at your doorstep, and it is a mere 5kms to the CBD.
