This gorgeous family home embraces nature, opening to sheltered alfresco living, layered native gardens. A simple white palette meets pops of warm timber to soothing effect, as multiple glazing welcomes light and aspect. Designed with sustainability and easy family living in mind, the home is imbued with a lovely sense of warmth and comfort.

Set back behind garden beds teeming with native ground covers, grasses, sheltering established trees, the home has a welcoming spirit from the get-go. A neatly paved driveway ushers to a gated double garage, providing plenty of off-street and sheltered parking.

Bennelong Crescent is surrounded by green spaces, including The Pinnacle Nature Reserve. The home is an easy stroll to the local schools and shops, moments from the much-loved village centres of Cook and Aranda, whisper close to Jamison Plaza and the buzzing Belconnen precinct.

Sunlight bounces off crisp white walls as beautiful hardwood timber floors flow underfoot. Connected social zones combine to create a spacious family home that fosters a relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The combined living and dining captures views of red flowering bottlebrush and drifts to kitchen, and beyond to a second living area that opens to a breezy, sheltered deck.

The kitchen combined living is easily the warm hub of the home, with its inviting breakfast bar, fostering family togetherness. Stone worktops coalesce with warm timber joinery, as every inch of space is utilised to provide maximal storage. We love the combo of drawers and cabinets in a mix of white and soft oak, the roller shuttered small appliance bay, and full-height pantry.

Three bedrooms centre around a stunning family bathroom, finished in floor-to-ceiling subway tiling with deep drawer wall hung vanity and relaxing bathtub. The master bedroom is nicely sequestered at the opposing end of the home and has a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage.

The deck floats harmoniously within the beautifully landscaped surrounds. A cantilevered pergola shades in summer, where one imagines spending long evenings entertaining with family and friends. There is plenty of soft lawn for the kids to play, the whole garden steeped in peaceful privacy, enveloped by layered greenery in a riot of texture and colour.

Macquarie is surrounded by parkland, close to the walking trails of Mt Painter reserve and The Pinnacle and just ten minutes' drive to the Arboretum. The home is walking distance to Jamison Plaza and close to the Belconnen precinct. The local shops are home to the popular café, Cosy T's, Kinh Do Vietnamese and an excellent pharmacy. Aranda shops are close by, with the famous, Two Before Ten, coffee shop, a popular gathering spot, on Saturday mornings. It is a nice walk to Lake Ginninderra and the Lighthouse Pub. Transport and schools are close to hand and the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC are in easy reach. It is a mere eleven minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
