Elevated position directly opposite parkland!

This expansive beautifully built four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is impressive from the get-go, rising from its leafy enclosure and gazing across the open parkland just across the way. The entryway serving up warm timber cladding, stained glass and an elevated patio. It is a hint at what's to come – the home brimming with organic textures, joyful blocks of colour and welcoming a blessing of light via big windows.

Powlett is a sought-after street, that curves and rises away from Kaleen shopping centre, edging open parkland and delivering quiet and peaceful seclusion. The red brick form is offset by pebblecrete driveway, sandstone garden walls and softened by a magnificent claret ash and clipped topiary. A double garage and single carport provides plenty of secure parking and there is the convenience of internal access from the garage.

The foyer glows red, green, blue and silver as light settles within the feature stained glass, echoed again within the master bedroom. We love all these special touches, from the extensive timber joinery to the patterned glass and the wonderful array of happy colours.

There is a generous front living area that flows effortlessly to the formal dining room with its big bay window. This bright, airy room merges to the kitchen and combined meals, a welcoming space with enormous windows that frame the garden. A floating window desk is the perfect spot to tree gaze with a morning coffee in hand. Clever storage and quality appliances deliver family ease, there is a striking blackwood island bench, while timeless black stone benches stretch to meet a tiled splashback - a stunning mosaic of rich sunset hues.

The second living area is the ideal escape for kids and adults alike, spilling to outside and informed by lots of warm timber. One imagines easy entertaining, the outdoor table set for plenty and an easy back and forth from inside to out. While downstairs a big room off the garage could serve as a teenage retreat, home office or guest accommodation, and includes storage, an ensuite bathroom and its own external and internal entrance.

The private master wing floats you amidst the front garden and serves up double robes and an ensuite. The second bedroom also has an ensuite, built-in robes and access to the deck with the third and fourth bedrooms also featuring built-in robes. The flexibility of the home is just fabulous allowing for intergenerational living, great guest accommodation and segregation for the family, it really is the perfect home if you are looking for versatility.

Kaleen is in the Belconnen district and shoulders the inner north suburbs of Lyneham and O'Connor, connecting to Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve. This central, inner locale makes Kaleen a popular suburb - close to transport, great schools, the UC, CIT, AIS and GIO Stadium. With plenty of parks, bike and walking trails, the home is also handy to Kaleen Plaza, close to Belconnen and a short commute to the CBD.
