63 Erldunda Street, Hawker, ACT 2614

There is a lovely continuity of palette through-out the entire home: muted greys, bright whites, warm timbers, a threading of gold. Relaxed and breezy with an elegant, refined beauty, the home is perfectly orientated around outdoor living. While an excellent spatial arrangement floats a private parental wing among the treetops.

The original cottage has been transformed by an infusion of contemporary design, extended up and out, to create a stunning five-bedroom home. Arranged in an L-shape around an elevated timber deck, the home invites to outdoor living from multiple angles and fosters relaxed gatherings both inside and out.

Sitting back behind circular drive, on a wide leafy street, dotted with gum trees, the home welcomes from the get-go. A double garage offers internal access, while on the opposing side a path meanders beneath leafy trees to a sheltered terrace, laid with pretty Moroccan tiles. Impressive timber and glass doors open to high voids, sculptural staircase and spotted gum flooring that gleams underfoot.

Living spaces revolve around the crisp white kitchen, with pop of cobalt blue and the soft notes of grey stone worktops. There is a coastal feel as billowing sheers filter ambient light via vast expanses of glazing. The open transparency welcomes nature within, yet feels ideally private, as lush surrounds shelter and shade. And there are plenty of varying spaces - large family room, formal dining, meals area and study nook ¬- with recessed sliders that can be opened for connection or closed for privacy.

Four elegant bedrooms, all with excellent storage are amenable to a stunning family bathroom and separate toilet. All bathrooms and the internal laundry are richly appointed with imported silver-grey Japanese Kit Kat feature tiling, wall hung white vanities and brushed brassed fixtures. The fourth and largest bedroom merges via walk-in-robe, to ensuite and opens fully, via bankable glass doors, to sunshine and laid-back alfresco living.

The master wing is all modern elegance and occupies the entire top floor. A beautiful haven, this gorgeous space is characterised by vast windows welcoming light and aspect, floating you among treetops, big blue sky. A spacious sitting area merges to bedroom and a walk-through-robe flows to ensuite bathroom. There is a large walk-in-shower, floating vanity and signature brass hardware.

Holiday vibes abound, as alfresco dining and comfy outdoor lounging soothes the soul. Think relaxing with family and friends, long lunches, champagne in the relaxing spa. The long deck takes in elevated views and overlooks the neatly curated and minimal-care, landscaped gardens, with neat gazebo shading the welcoming spa bath. Why spend money on holidays when your home is a resort unto itself? Perfectly blending effortless stylish living with easy entertaining and an enviable indoor/outdoor mix.

The home is ideally located within walking distance of Hawker Primary School and an easy stroll to Ambalindum Street Playground. Surrounded by ample green spaces including Mt Pinnacle Nature Reserve yet whisper close to the dynamic Belconnen precinct, there is a nice mix of bushland peace and dynamic urban living. It is not far to the Arboretum and Lake Ginninderra. Public transport is at your doorstep and multiple schools are at hand, as is the UC, Canberra Stadium, AIS, and it is a mere 15 minutes by car to the CBD.
