Unfolding across three-levels, the home has a wonderful spatial generosity and easy merge to palatial terrace with views to mountain ranges. Home to a variety of fruiting trees, and basking in eastern light, the terrace is a veritable oasis…an orchard in the sky.

Perched high on a quiet loop street, this boutique development is just a hop, skip from bushland reserve. Medworth Crescent is a desirable pocket, pristinely quiet, yet super close to the lively areas of Lyneham, O'Connor and Braddon, with their dynamic restaurant and café scenes and diverse array of shops.

Heartfelt renovations have resulted in an elegant forever home, with a lovely balance of modern spaces and fluid indoor/outdoor connections. A soothing minimalist palette and organic materiality - white on white, soft neutral tones, rich timber, stone - coalesce, imbibing the entire home with timeless grace, comforting luxury.

The dual aspect of the social spaces welcomes a continuity of light via glass sliders opening to both east and west. Doors can be flung open to nature, capturing cooling cross breezes, drawing the outside in. The cosy living nook is framed by picture windows and drifts seamlessly to vast elevated terrace with its big sky views.

Olive, fig, pomegranate, kaffir lime, quince, apple and peach, fill the terrace, sheltering and privatising and gifting shade in the summer months. There is enough room here for both alfresco dining and gathering fireside with friends. Think morning coffee as the sun rises over the magisterial mountain ranges…long weekend lunches the table set for plenty, parties beneath the fiesta lights.

Airy and light with soaring void, the open kitchen dining, drifts to an intimate courtyard, alive with delicate fernery. Capturing drifts of afternoon sun, this is a lovely nook for unwinding after the day, glass in hand.

Sparkling new and packed with luxe Bosch appliances, the kitchen is a warm hub, infused with Nordic minimalism. The material palette includes subway tiled splashback, crisp white cabinets, marble countertops and matt black tapware. The adjacent butler's pantry and laundry combo takes care of the mess, boosting the already significant storage. While an adjacent powder room means family and guests don't have to troop upstairs.

There is a lovely privacy to the couplet of upstairs bedrooms, centred around a family bathroom with corner spa bath. The master opens to balcony with sweeping views to both Mt Majura and Ainslie. Sentinel Manchurian pears put on a show of spring blossom, turning leafy in the hotter months. Beyond the always dramatic ever changing moods of the mountains, sky.

The downstairs cellar is all romantic raw brick and rich timber joinery. Bespoke lighting softly illuminates a wall of handpicked wine. Think cigars and port, or the delight of a fine aged red, the always open, wonderful indulgence of your own private bar.
