Like a remembered love affair, this enigmatic home is as groovy as it is full of character. Located in the foothills of Mount Taylor, this mid century, modernist home features an immensely flexible floorplan with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and ample living space with plenty of room for an extended family. The unique and well thought out design sees this double brick home feature a clever U shaped, sun orientated floorplan to capitalise on the natural elements. Bamboo floors, exposed rafters and gas fireplace builds character while the large picture windows create a light filled home. Exposed brick walls have been created from old rescued Canberra bricks adding to the story of the house and incorporating local history. A large Scandinavian inspired living area curves around the garden, bringing the outdoors in and creates a warm and sunny environment. The spacious Danish kitchen hugs the dining area and is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Imagine having ample space to entertain guests or supervise homework while you are cooking dinner and sharing the events of your day with friends and family. This area has some added magic with stained glass windows and a design that you just won’t find anywhere else. Thinking outside the box, the floor plan is suited to having a separate granny flat for extra income or multigenerational family living, a home office or even a beanbag retreat. The beauty of this home is that it will adjust to your needs whatever they might be. For your convenience, the home currently features two separate bathrooms and an ensuite all renovated in 2011. As well as the gas fireplace, you will find a reverse cycle unit located in the master for year round climate control.
