Majestic location and brilliant aspect facing directly onto expansive parkland!

Separate title residence with no strata fees!

This generous four-bedroom ensuite separate title townhouse lives up to its magical address, as generous spaces unfold across two-levels with graceful ease. Nestled within a deeply private and leafy enclave, the home entices with a soothing neutral scheme, and wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. The deluxe master bedroom drifts to the Juliette balcony, capturing stunning views across parkland and gorgeous sunsets.

It's hard not to love the street names in Harrison – Moonlight Ave, Whiskers, Pixie and Lizard Lane, or the fabulous Wizard Street. But Glow Worm Grove must be our favourite, conjuring images of bioluminescent colours in mesmerising orange and blues… magic lands, fairy stories. And secret grove it is, nestled behind Carrick Playground and edging Mulligans Flat Woodland Reserve. Yet the home is also wonderfully positioned, just a few minutes from the thriving Gungahlin precinct and an easy commute to the buzzing inner-north and the CBD, via car or light rail.

Neat rows of terrace houses line this super quiet street, all with attractive frontages, second story balconies and leafy outlooks across open green fields. The form is mostly warm mixed brick with pops of rich ocean grey, as iron gates give way to a deep front courtyard enclosed in greenery. To the rear, a laneway provides access to a double garage with auto-door, and there is double gated access to the back garden.

Within golden timber floors flow underfoot, stretching to meet crisp white walls, as the open plan living, dining and kitchen drift to the sunny rear deck. A partial wall delineates the sweeping space, creating a delightful living area that takes in those parkland views via large windows. A tranquil bedroom sits adjacent to a convenient downstairs powder room offering flexibility of use, think fourth bedroom, guest room or home office.

The combined living and dining arena spills deck side, extending the space and gifting a relaxed alfresco lifestyle. This sunny social hub includes a large kitchen, perfectly arrayed in the north-eastern corner. Natural light bounces off the neutral cabinets and softly marbled worktops. A large window purveys the leafy green walls of the courtyard enclosure, while a long peninsula provides relaxed seating for family and friends.

The trees are deep within their autumnal turnings, creating a dreamy vista across the park and out to the surrounding mountains. The enormous master bedroom is characterised by an influx of afternoon light, magic outlook and epic sunsets…think champagne on the balcony and some quiet time. There is a large walk-in-robe and a separate coat cupboard and the privacy of an ensuite bathroom.

Two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the second floor. Both bedrooms have built-in-robes for seamless storage and capture elevated views, with the fourth bedroom overlooking the picturesque Sammy's Hill. The bathroom is finished in crisp white, with concordant earthy feature tiling, and offers a relaxing bath.

Your life in Harrison:

Strolling across to the park and the kids play equipment, walking to ponds, wetlands, woodlands via a myriad of interconnecting paths. Working out at the nearby gyms on Flemington Road or getting active at the nearby Joey Park Playground or District Playing Fields
