A gorgeous renovation has created sleek modern spaces that lend an elegant minimal air, complementing the open, airy feel of this classic Canberra cottage. Large picture windows capture light and gift a strong visual connection to landscape on both sides. There is a wonderful indoor/outdoor drift as glass sliders open to sheltered deck and gardens.

This beautiful three-bedroom home is ideally positioned, close to several parks, just a leafy walk or bike-ride away from Scullin shops, home to the fabulous Sweet Bones Bakery and Café. Whisper quiet yet super close to the dynamic Belconnen shopping and entertainment precinct, handy to the CBD, the locale is highly coveted.

The stunning blonde brick form sits pretty behind soft lawns and pink flowering rose bushes. A long driveway provides plenty of off-street parking and there is gated access to a garage that sits well back on the site.

A small entry foyer gives way to a large, combined dining and living arena. Lush garden scenery seems to enter the room as the eye is drawn to a wall of windows. Easy-care timber laminate flooring flows underfoot and the soft palette of white on white, with threads of timber, nods to the native bush capital surrounds. A simple merge from dining room to shady outdoor deck makes communing alfresco an integral part of the warmer months.

There is a nice open link to the kitchen, where a neat row of large windows connects with the garden frontage, filling the space with light. The use of organic stone bench tops, banks of white cabinetry and pop of timber shelving, gifts a soothing minimal flair. The splashback captures the eye with its soft blue and grey marbling, while efficient stainless-steel appliances take care of business. There is a breakfast bar with plenty of room for the kids to gather.

Think precious time with family and friends, a relaxing glass of wine, chatting while you cook the dinner.

Three peaceful bedrooms benefit from large windows that provide leafy views, while mirrored built-in-cabinetry assures seamless storage. The second bedroom has a lovely nook for a study desk, ideal for homework.

A crisp white freestanding tub floats on soft grey floor to ceiling tiling. Pops of jet black add contemporary drama and coalesce with the softness of the oak vanity. We love the under cabinet lighting that imbues this gorgeous wet room, complete with rain shower, with a moody romance.

The large deck connects the whole family with nature and takes in views of the easy-care paving merging with soft lawns. Green walls privatise and enclose, while set back in one corner of the generous rear gardens, is a relaxing outdoor room.

Timber decking marries with timber baton work to semi-enclose this additional social space. Think lounging with a great book under the ceiling fan on lazy Sundays or celebrating into the night with friends.

Scullin is a well-positioned family friendly suburb, surrounded by green spaces, bordering Brindabella National Park, The Pinnacle, Mount Painter, and Lake Ginninderra. Scullin shops are close to hand with local favourites including - Sue's Kitchen for great Chinese and Rock Salt Restaurant or Sweet Bones Bakery and Cafe for relaxed dining. The dynamic and evolving Belconnen precinct is a few minutes away with its myriad of dining and shopping options, including the Fresh Food Markets, currently undergoing an exciting refurb. The home is close to transport and a choice of schools. The Arboretum, GIO Stadium, AIS, the UC are all nearby. And the home is a mere 15 minutes to the CBD by car.
