This​ ​home​ ​has​ ​a​ ​gentle​ ​friendliness,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​subtle​ ​warmth​ ​that​ ​invites​ ​you​ ​in.​ ​From​ ​the​ ​deep​ ​timber​ ​window​ ​ledges​ ​to​ ​the​ ​hardwood​ ​floors​ ​and​ ​floating​ ​staircase,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​feel.​ ​This​ ​gorgeous​ ​three-bedder​ ​is​ ​arrayed​ ​across​ ​two​ ​levels​ ​and​ ​impresses​ ​with​ ​its​ ​personal​ ​charm​ ​and​ ​modernist​ ​cool.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​the​ ​distinct​ ​A-frame​ ​design,​ ​the​ ​pedigree​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Austrian​ ​architect,​ ​and​ ​the​ ​lovingly​ ​preserved​ ​60's​ ​charm.​ ​

Beautifully​ ​presented,​ ​the​ ​home​ ​serves​ ​up​ ​thoughtful​ ​upgrades,​ ​pared​ ​back​ ​contemporary​ ​elements,​ ​and​ ​soft​ ​white​ ​walls​ ​that​ ​glow​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sunlight.​ ​Big​ ​casement​ ​windows​ ​frame​ ​the​ ​considered​ ​gardens,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​wonderful​ ​spill​ ​to​ ​the​ ​outdoor​ ​living​ ​on​ ​both​ ​sides.

The​ ​triangular​ ​deck​ ​reaches​ ​into​ ​the​ ​garden​ ​where​ ​special​ ​grafted​ ​natives​ ​dot​ ​the​ ​smooth​ ​lawns.​ ​Soft​ ​grey​ ​foliage,​ ​granite​ ​boulders​ ​and​ ​established​ ​plantings​ ​create​ ​a​ ​beautifully​ ​considered​ ​garden.​ ​In​ ​one​ ​corner,​ ​a​ ​wooden​ ​seating​ ​bench​ ​is​ ​perfectly​ ​positioned​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sunlight.​ ​This​ ​lucky​ ​spot​ ​allows​ ​your​ ​gaze​ ​to​ ​travel​ ​the​ ​full​ ​length​ ​of​ ​the​ ​block,​ ​all​ ​the​ ​way​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Brindabellas​ ​in​ ​the​ ​west.

The​ ​foyer​ ​is​ ​welcoming,​ ​with​ ​timber​ ​panelling​ ​adorning​ ​both​ ​walls​ ​and​ ​ceiling.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​cupboard​ ​for​ ​stashing​ ​coats​ ​and​ ​hooks​ ​for​ ​hats​ ​and​ ​scarves.​ ​Double​ ​doors​ ​open​ ​wide​ ​to​ ​the​ ​sunny​ ​living​ ​area​ ​where​ ​the​ ​north-easterly​ ​aspect​ ​captures​ ​the​ ​delicate​ ​front​ ​garden.​ ​The​ ​fireplace​ ​delivers​ ​a​ ​pop​ ​of​ ​patterned​ ​tiling​ ​and​ ​hides​ ​a​ ​secret​ ​storage​ ​cupboard.​ ​The​ ​dining​ ​table​ ​sits​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sunshine,​ ​and​ ​glass​ ​doors​ ​draw​ ​you​ ​outside​ ​to​ ​the​ ​layered​ ​decks​ ​that​ ​step​ ​down​ ​through​ ​the​ ​backyard.​ ​This​ ​multi-level​ ​outdoor​ ​space​ ​is​ ​a​ ​real​ ​highlight​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home,​ ​creating​ ​places​ ​to​ ​dine,​ ​gather​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​sit​ ​among​ ​the​ ​established​ ​gardens.​ ​An​ ​age-old​ ​elm​ ​shelters​ ​and​ ​shades​ ​during​ ​summer,​ ​dropping​ ​its​ ​leaves​ ​come​ ​winter​ ​to​ ​welcome​ ​warming​ ​light.​ ​The​ ​stage​ ​perfectly​ ​set​ ​for​ ​family​ ​life​ ​and​ ​time​ ​spent​ ​together.

The​ ​kitchen​ ​has​ ​been​ ​artfully​ ​updated​ ​and​ ​wears​ ​a​ ​cool,​ ​industrial​ ​air,​ ​with​ ​stainless​ ​steel​ ​worktops​ ​to​ ​match​ ​the​ ​silver​ ​glint​ ​of​ ​the​ ​mosaic​ ​splashback.​ ​Open​ ​shelving​ ​and​ ​clever​ ​timber​ ​cabinetry​ ​provide​ ​plenty​ ​of​ ​storage,​ ​while​ ​a​ ​big​ ​window​ ​welcomes​ ​light​ ​and​ ​leaf​ ​within.​ ​There​ ​are​ ​quality​ ​appliances,​ ​including​ ​a​ ​dishwasher​ ​from​ ​Miele.

As​ ​you​ ​climb​ ​the​ ​broad​ ​timber​ ​stairs,​ ​there​ ​is​ ​the​ ​nostalgic​ ​feeling​ ​of​ ​treehouse​ ​days,​ ​the​ ​three​ ​delightful​ ​bedrooms​ ​delivering​ ​you​ ​to​ ​leafy​ ​views.​ ​Mt​ ​Majura​ ​looms​ ​within​ ​the​ ​master​ ​bedroom,​ ​and​ ​morning​ ​light​ ​paints​ ​the​ ​floors​ ​and​ ​walls.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​open​ ​the​ ​glass​ ​doors​ ​and​ ​step​ ​onto​ ​the​ ​private​ ​balcony​ ​or​ ​sleep​ ​to​ ​breezes​ ​that​ ​carry​ ​the​ ​fresh​ ​scent​ ​of​ ​trees.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​inbuilt​ ​storage​ ​to​ ​each​ ​room​ ​and​ ​an​ ​updated​ ​bathroom​ ​with​ ​a​ ​bathtub​ ​and​ ​bonus​ ​of​ ​a​ ​separate​ ​toilet.​ ​Here,​ ​mosaic​ ​tiling​ ​and​ ​silver​ ​details​ ​pair​ ​with​ ​the​ ​soft​ ​curves​ ​of​ ​a​ ​new​ ​fluted​ ​timber​ ​vanity.

This​ ​is​ ​inner​ ​north​ ​living​ ​with​ ​a​ ​distinctly​ ​different​ ​feel,​ ​think​ ​abundant​ ​birdlife,​ ​established​ ​gardens​ ​and​ ​the​ ​nearby​ ​trails​ ​of​ ​Mt​ ​Majura​ ​Reserve.​ ​The​ ​home​ ​sits​ ​on​ ​a​ ​loop​ ​street​ ​just​ ​a​ ​few​ ​steps​ ​from​ ​the​ ​reserve,​ ​parks​ ​and​ ​green​ ​spaces,​ ​while​ ​the​ ​popular​ ​Hackett​ ​shops​ ​and​ ​local​ ​schools​ ​are​ ​within​ ​easy​ ​walking​ ​distance.​ ​Dickson​ ​and​ ​Braddon​ ​are​ ​also​ ​close​ ​by,​ ​along​ ​with​ ​the​ ​ANU,​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​mere​ ​6.4​ ​kms​ ​to​ ​the​ ​CBD.
