Step through the front door and ring the charming 1940's doorbell, repurposed from a historic home in Ainslie, and you'll instantly feel that you've arrived somewhere truly special. The warm embrace of Blackbutt flooring greets you, leading your gaze to the captivating bare mud brick wall in the formal lounge room, adorned with high ceilings and north-facing windows, creating a stunning winter haven for relaxation.
The home's earthy ambience is evident in the solid textured mudbrick walls, not only striking in appearance but also providing excellent insulation, ideal for Canberra's cold winters and hot summers. A sense of serenity and seclusion envelopes this family abode, making it an inviting retreat for all.
Follow the graceful curve of the wall, and you'll find yourself in the truly unique dining room where a solar chimney ensures natural light and a refreshing breeze in summer.
The seamless flow into the modern kitchen fosters warm and relaxed gatherings. This is heart of the home, boasting the softness of cork flooring and the practicality of Bosch appliances, gas cooking, IQ pull-out pantries, and large soft-close drawers. Its connection to the garden not only lets you keep an eye on the kids playing outside but also offers a delightful view of the frequently visited bird bath. The kitchen effortlessly opens to the family room, featuring French doors leading to the patio, an ideal spot for winter brunches or summer BBQs.
The original part of the house encompasses four well-proportioned bedrooms, each adorned with art deco lighting and new carpet. The front bedroom serves as an excellent home office space, while the renovated main bathroom indulges with a claw foot bath and a private atrium, bringing in natural light.
An extension in 2009 added versatile space to the home, featuring a spacious bedroom with an ensuite, an additional living room and kitchenette. Glass doors open to the garden, providing endless possibilities – a private retreat for parents or grandparents, a haven for teenagers, or even a rental opportunity.
The garden, mainly adorned with hardy native Australian plants and some deciduous trees, offers shade in summer and a tranquil sanctuary, all while requiring minimal maintenance. A charming fire pit invites winter entertaining, beloved by the resident blue tongue lizard, overlooked by the town's most beautiful garden shed.
The home incorporates various solar passive features, including north-facing double-glazed windows and 3.6kw of solar panels. The northern façade boasts a pergola with cleverly angled timber slats, welcoming the winter sun while shielding the home from the summer heat.
Nestled just a short stroll away from Ginninderra Creek, perfect for dog walking, and in proximity to Florey shops, complete with Cesar's coffee shop, a local supermarket, and the cherished Herbert's at Evatt – a go-to spot for Friday night fun.
Beyond its unique features, this home promises each family member their space to grow, fostering a lifetime of cherished memories and endless enjoyment.
