Welcome surprises abound in this tri-level townhouse
On the ground floor you have pebble-look a like floors giving the renovated kitchen and adjacent meals area a pop of personality, lifting it from run-of-the-mill to memorable and providing an earthy complement to the pergola-clad front entertaining area just outside the window.
Four steps take you up to the split-level lounge where a bounty of treats awaits. First among many is the lofty raked ceiling with skylight that brings volume and light to the space. The height is important because it helps draw attention to the fluid lines of the bespoke spiral staircase and to the black flue of the slow-combustion heater which shoots its way upward and provides dramatic scale.
Access the private and secure backyard from this space and enjoy a second alfresco area cocooned within a garden that's resplendent with Japanese maples, fruit trees and space for a vegetable patch.
Sequestered on the first floor, three bedrooms provide a peaceful place of retreat with lovely treetop views. The master has a bright ensuite with quality floor-to-ceiling tiles and a frameless glass shower. The main bathroom on this level shares the same colour palette but has the addition of an extra wide vanity, rainfall shower, hidden storage and soaking tub. Bedroom two will win over the hearts of any bibliophile, with a custom in-built mini-library capable of holding scores of books.
The convenience of this home is a cut above. Directly across the street from the Cook shops and the locally revered Little Oink café, you'll also be within walking distance of Mt Painter Reserve and the Jamison Centre. Belconnen Town Centre is just 5 minutes away and a bus stop that's literally on your doorstep can get you directly to the city.
