4/5 Wylde Place, Macquarie, ACT 2614

City meets bush in this elegant take on townhouse living that reads more like a double-storey, spacious family home. Nestled within a leafy enclave with outlook across parkland, the home brims with contemporary expression and a timeless luxury. An excellent layout separates the master wing, providing privacy and a light filled view through the central atrium to the social domain.

Wylde Place is a tiny loop street that curves around Wylde Place Neighbourhood Park, the home itself, tucked away within a fold of trees. The road curves and culminates, providing rear lane access to a generous double garage with auto-doors and internal access. This secret little pocket is surrounded by ovals and green spaces while being literally on the urban edge. The buzzing Belconnen Precinct is just moments away and it is a short stroll to the Fresh Food Markets. There are several schools within walking distance and the popular Jamison Centre is whisper close.

The home sits behind a native rise and is sheltered and enclosed by mature trees. Steppers and paths usher past swells of rosemary and native ground covers, leading to a gated front courtyard, sequestered by high rendered walls. Smooth planes in a mix of glass, render and timber inform the confident façade. Black paving is edged by camellias and strappy grasses, as alfresco dining is bathed in northern light.

Fittings and finishings are classic, anchored by the earthy tones of wood and stone. Lofty raked ceilings stretch to meet walls of glass as high clerestory windows and glass sliders welcome sunlight. The open kitchen, living and dining spilling to outside and a peaceful oasis of green. The stunning chef's kitchen is finished in tones of chestnut and grey with marbled subway tiling in charcoal. An expansive floating island provide a relaxed spot for family and friends to gather. There is a ton of storage and quality appliances from Bosch.

A central courtyard is a lovely light well, drawing warmth and blue skies deep into the home. The master suite is nicely sequestered beyond, blessed by the borrowed light and opening to courtyard breezes. There is a walk-in-robe with bespoke timber joinery and large ensuite bathroom finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling, with double basins and walk-in-rain shower. A powder room is housed adjacent and just beyond, a laundry opens to an outdoor drying area.

Timber stairs lead to three additional bedrooms that centre around a second living area and a deluxe family bathroom. Two bedrooms have built-in-robes and all three welcoming rooms take in elevated views to treetops. The beautiful design scheme continues within the bathroom, as soft light illuminates grey tiling, and pops of timber coalesce with the creamy white of the stone benchtop and the gorgeous floating bathtub.

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 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 all the cafes, restaurants and shops of the thriving Belconnen precinct. It is an easy stroll to the Fresh Food Markets and the local Macquarie shops, home to the popular café, Cosy T's, Kinh Do Vietnamese and an excellent pharmacy. 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 13 minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
