85 Jacka Crescent, Campbell, ACT 2612

A stunning extension continues the clean lines of the original form, pushing out into the garden and embracing a dreamscape of green-walled serenity. The new master wing welcomes the outside in via a wall of glass that celebrates an explosion of light and landscape. It is a moment that is echoed within the open-plan living area, which spills to decking that romances an avenue of magnolias, the evocative water of the swimming pool.

Gestures of the past evoke the story of Canberra, while contemporary influences introduce space, height, flexibility, and temperate ease. The materiality is gentle and organic, and the balanced plan, which incorporates four bedrooms, is fantastic for modern family life. Living, dining, and cooking are open, airy, effortless. Life is arranged around a happy-go-lucky inside-outside merge, and there is the surprise of an upstairs room that floats you among the trees, think versatile, responsive, and fabulously secluded.

The home rises from beautifully landscaped gardens and sits on a quiet street just steps from parkland. It is a privileged position that nudges the creative hub of Campbell 5. You can stroll through leafy parkland into another world- buzzing café scenes, bespoke gyms, dynamic bars, and eateries. Yet there is a distinct suburban nostalgia-tree swing on the front lawn, avenues of herbs, fresh vegetables spilling from raised beds, long summer days pool side and cooler nights huddled around the fire pit.

The quiet luxury of the materiality- crisp white, soft greys, pops of warm timber- feels both sophisticated and timeless. The Canberra reds in the driveway are echoed within as the original hearth takes centre stage within the striking new kitchen. Here, banks of storage keep things simple, and family rituals revolve around the central island. Sheer curtains soften the living area, and the formality of the dining space is tempered by the holiday feel of open doors, breezes off the garden, and long days spent deck side while the kids splash in the pool.

Quieter moments are snatched on the private deck off the master suite, think a well-deserved glass of champagne come evening or first morning coffee as the rising sun illuminates the garden.
Or imagine the luxury of a long rain shower within the generous ensuite bathroom, readying yourself for the day within the ordered walk-in robe. All three children's bedrooms have built-in robes and sit handy to a powder room and family bathroom with a bathtub. Both bathrooms have been carefully crafted, finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling with pops of timber and stone.

This gorgeous home is handy to several parklands and the shared biking and walking trails that hug Lake Burley Griffin. The Campbell 5 Precinct is whisper close with its vibrant mix of independent bars, cafés and eateries to tempt the soul and the palette. There is the new and dynamic East Traders Hall alongside old favourites - Paranormal, Asian Noodle House, The Pedlar, Lanterne Rooms. There are plenty of great café's nearby for morning coffee and the home is handy to Campbell shops. It is just moments to Anzac Parade, the War Memorial and the CBD.
