23 Branson Street, Dunlop, ACT 2615

It is easy to imagine joyful summers spent dining alfresco beneath the sheltering pergola?the table set for plenty, relaxing with friends while the kids play on the flat lawn, shaded by a magnificent pin oak tree. There is the ever changing mood and colour of the mountains, the warmth of northern light and the peace of natural immersion, both deeply private and restorative.

This peaceful four-bedder champions family life with its split level design, privatising the bedrooms from a choice of airy social arenas. An elegant ease informs the entire home and there is plenty of space to celebrate, play and relax. The open plan family hub opens via glass sliders to an elevated deck that captures soothing views of the distant mountains.

Branson is a quiet street that rises upwards to meet Dunlop Grasslands Nature Reserve. The home wonderfully surrounded by green spaces with interconnecting pathways so you can walk forever. It is just a few steps from North Dunlop Playground and not far to the local shops and several schools within nearby Charnwood and Fraser. Despite the country feels, the home is whisper close to the bustling Belconnen precinct with its endless entertainment, shopping and dining experiences.

Neatly clipped hedges edge and frame the frontage, interspersed with delicate bursts of nandina. The build all light tumbled brick with a tiled roof and handsome portico supported by twin columns, lending a formal air to the sheltered entryway. A private driveway provides plenty of off-street parking and ushers to double garage with the convenience of internal access.

Easy-care ceramic flooring lines the foyer, extending through to the open plan family arena. On the left a cosy living area is softly carpeted and flows in a circular fashion to a formal dining space. Large windows are the hero here, framing the gardens that wrap around the side of the home and welcoming a gentle light, filtered through the foliage of a cornucopia of beautiful plantings.

Soft white walls coalesce with a threading of grey, beginning with the patterned worktops in the kitchen and echoed in both bathrooms. The continuous design notes, harmonising and balancing, bringing accord to the lived experience. The kitchen perfectly conversational with its long breakfast bar and outlook across to the living space, the sunny meals area encircled by bay windows. There is a tonne of storage, including a full-height pantry and timeless stainless-steel appliances to make daily rituals, family meals and large gatherings happy and easy.

Bedroom one floats just above the sunken private realm and could just as easily be utilised as a home office or guest room. Steps usher down to three additional bedrooms, including an invitational master bedroom, complete with walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. A duo of children's rooms centre around a three-way family bathroom, perfect for rush hour! Here glass bricks softly illuminate white tiled walls, charcoal floors, artisanal border tiles. There is a large bathtub and lots of storage ? the vanity edged by open glass shelving for display of baskets, easy grab, folded towels.

Situated in the leafy suburb of Dunlop, known for its family/community values, surrounded by reserve and green spaces, the home, also offers convenient access to the Belconnen precinct, AIS and Bruce stadium. Close to Charnwood shops, with local favorites including - Bernie's from the Bay for great fish and chips, Yowie Chinese and Charnie's Noodles and Dumplings and just few steps to Dunlop Grasslands and walking distance to Mt Roger's reserve. The home is convenient to transport, schools, the UC and it is a brief 16 minutes to the CBD by car.
