16 Bathurst Place, Macquarie, ACT 2614

Great proportions, a balanced plan, wonderful connection to outdoors and the distinction of an airy garden studio. This renovated and extended four-bedder speaks of family life informed by an essential flexibility. The location is magic, at the end of sleepy cul-de-sac, overlooking trees, backing green commons and a few steps from the bus stop whisking you straight to the CBD.

Bathurst Place is part of secret enclave, where twin cul-de-sacs enjoy a privileged elevation. A central gathering of eucalypts give a park-like feel and there is a fabulous community vibe, think street Christmas parties and friendly neighbours.

A magnificent elm casts dappled shade across the new crushed gravel driveway, sub-base, stabilisation grid filled with angular stone for stability and drainage. It is but one example of the considered thought lavished on the home. The grand double carport is another, with its architectural design that includes lofty ceiling heights and peaked terracotta tiled roof to match the house. We love the curved "wine barrel" fence that draws you toward the formal portico, creating quiet the entry sequence.

A layering of front decking creates a private courtyard feel, perfect for evening alfresco meals. While within, a big living area flows to a generous dining space and large windows frame the landscape. New carpet keeps things cosy, stretching to meet newly painted walls, and there is a nice merge to the open kitchen combined second living area.

The kitchen introduces a pops of warm grape and plum, including a fabulous purple, Stoves cooker with gas hob and double ovens. This light filled family hub is designed with family life in mind, think easy-care vinyl flooring and glass sliders that spill to a big, sheltered deck. One imagines the kids at play, an easy back and forth from inside to out and relaxed entertaining, the home literally book-ended by alfresco arenas.

Big corner windows welcome light into the generous master bedroom, with its wall of robes and ensuite bathroom. There are three peaceful children's rooms, two with built-in-robes and a large family bathroom, with a big corner spa bath and a separate powder room. Both bathrooms are simply finished in crisp white with terracotta hued floors and new plantation shutters.

French doors open the studio to a large, paved patio, ideal for kids on trikes, basketball or lunching in the sunshine. The multi-purpose studio space has everything- storage, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom. One imagines inter-generational living, guest accommodation, teen hang or creative hub.
