15/70 Bourne Street, Cook, ACT 2614

This easy-care two-bedder is tucked away, behind pretty gardens and high courtyard walls. Bourne Gardens is a serene little enclave, moments from parkland and bordering green commons, connecting you all the way to the endless walking trails of Mount Painter and Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve. Despite the feeling of peaceful remove, the locale is wonderfully connected to the caf? scene of Aranda, the shops of the Jamison Centre and all the enticements of the Belconnen Precinct.

Within soft carpets stretch to meet crisp white walls and there is the rich warmth of timber doors and joinery. A combo of airy social spaces drift to a choice of garden courtyard experiences, doubling the size of the home, welcoming cooling cross breezes and catering for all moods and occasions.

?

There is a private driveway that ushers to a single garage with the convenience of internal access and an easy-care front courtyard encircled by lush green walls. A welcoming timber front door opens onto a romantic central living space. Reading like a cosy snug, this genteel space is perfect for movie nights or falling back into deep couches after a long day. From here you can drift outside and enjoy a drink or two, enveloped within the leafy privacy of the front courtyard.

?

The modern kitchen is openly conversational with the family/dining room ? perfect for family meals, relaxed dinner parties. We love the deep grey cabinetry matched with worktops in midnight black, and the large window above the sink, welcoming light and aspect. The clever design makes the most of every inch, gifting a tonne of storage, including a small appliance bay and full-height pantry and there is an electric oven, cooktop and integrated rangehood.

?

Glass sliders can be flung open, expanding the family hub to the expansive deck, gifting room to chill, dine and entertain. Think, morning coffee, long lunches, summer evenings spent with family and friends, the pleasure of being outdoors, enclosed by manicured green conifer walls?their playful pop of lime green.

?

Both welcoming bedrooms are generous in size, have built-in-robes and extra-large windows with sheer curtains that filter a soft light. The adjacent family bathroom is all spa-like simplicity, with its crisp white-on-white scheme, softened by floors in creamy buff. There is a large accessible shower, plenty of storage and the convenience of a ?separate toilet.

?

Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails.

The local community is friendly and welcoming, renowned for its incredible local shops, including "Little Oink" and "To All My Friends", Cook also boasts one of Canberra's favourite independent supermarkets-the Cook Grocer-stocking the very best local products Canberra has to offer.
