10 Horsley Cres, Melba ACT 2615

There is a lovely, big-boned 70s grace to this generous family home set in a wonderful friendly street. The perfect plan privatises the master suite and gifts big garden views to the other three bedrooms. A choice of generous living spaces allows for separation and togetherness and the direct access to alfresco decking is perfect for entertaining. Clever updates lend a sustainable punch, delivering boosted insulation, solar panels and all electric appliances including reverse cycle split systems throughout the entire home.

The attractive modernist form with flat roof and wide fascia sits nicely behind deep established gardens. The front veranda enjoys elevated views out to the distant horizon. There are two driveways one taking you to the carport and the other to the converted single garage with a large granite bay providing plenty of off-street parking.

The sprawling combined living and dining room enjoys a nice transparency, as rows of casement windows frame the landscape. A faux wall throws in interesting architectural lines and perfectly delineates cosy living from formal dining. From here there is easy flow to the central family hub, think big kitchen, combined meals and family area opening to a huge, covered timber deck designed for alfresco living all year round.

The kitchen has great storage, including a step-in-pantry, providing a spot for everything. There are quality appliances from Bosch, including a dishwasher and a handy adjacent laundry which opens to the garden.

The master bedroom with ensuite is a true retreat and steps down to a private space with glass sliders onto a garden nook. From here you look out to the beautiful weeping cherry, think rumpus, sitting area, home office or an extra bedroom if required.

The opposing end of the home is given over to three generous bedrooms, all with built-in-robes, split systems and ceiling fans. A duo of floor-up-windows in each room, welcomes light and all three rooms are handy to a large family bathroom with a spa bath.

The home is within walking distance to a great choice of schools, parks and transport; Mount Rogers, Ginninderra Creek, BMX, tennis and Melba Half Acre Wood. It is surrounded by green spaces and reserve. Close to the fabulous Melba shops, with local favourite Café Mamé, famous for its delicious pastries and vegan options, the home is also close to the Belconnen precinct, connecting you to a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Handy to the University of Canberra, AIS, Lake Ginninderra and Bruce stadium.
