Character filled, offering a variety of versatile living options, this delightful family home is nestled in a quiet, leafy street within walking distance to the Yarralumla shops and a variety of popular Yarralumla interests. More than 60% of the rooms in this stylish family home open to an outdoor space and overlook gardens. It means that the indulgences of natural light and lush views are enjoyed throughout the two-storey residence, rather than exclusively on the ground floor.

While blurring the boundaries between the interiors and the vibrant gardens, an overarching modern-eclectic theme and earthy fixtures also reflects a connection to nature.

The layers of the 1952 original home are retained in the ash hardwood floors, cedar-framed sash windows, picture rails, a curved sandstone fireplace in the lounge and a charming banquette seat in the bay window of the kitchen. Sympathetic renovations have combined these with all the conveniences that contemporary homeowners expect; from the stone benches and freestanding range of the kitchen, to the sparkling salt water pool and modern poolside studio. Dining and living spaces flow to a front deck. The kitchen and meals space lead to a north-facing rear deck overlooking a lovely paved alfresco space beside the pool that's primed for entertaining.

All four of the tranquil bedrooms benefit from drawing the outdoors deeper into the floorplan with easy connection to the outdoors via balconies, terraces or decks.

This home is also ideally located to take advantage of Yarralumla's wonderful natural elements. Four doors down is a pathway that leads straight to Lake Burley Griffin, skirting Yarralumla Primary School and Tennis Club on the way. It's an easy detour to the shops for lunch or a coffee, while a short drive will get you to the Parliamentary Triangle, Deakin hospital precinct or elite schools.
