118 Vasey Cres, Campbell ACT 2612

Set within and rising from gentle lawn, magnolias, azaleas, the façade - a combination of blue stone, red brick, stippled render, terracotta roof tiles, timber picture windows - has an elegant 60's aesthetic. Blue stone crazy paving, lead to elevated front terrace, featuring baby blue, wrought iron balustrade.

With large windows and dual aspect, the living room, is blessed by both northerly and westerly light. The original fireplace with mantle and blue stone hearth, is a warm and soulful, focal point. Timber French doors, open to the front terrace, perfect for taking in westerly views of the Brindabella ranges, enjoying a glass or two, watching the sun set.

The formal dining room has a striking feature wall of timber panelling, with inset shelving - perfect for display of artwork, loved pieces, select glassware. The space is large enough to accommodate robust gatherings - think summer evenings, friends and family spilling to rear patio, kids dashing about in the magical garden.

The simple, elegant kitchen incorporates a meals area, ample cupboards all with lovely timber handles, and generous, walk-in pantry.

A wide hallway connects four bedrooms, all centred around a family bathroom and separate toilet. Fresh and spacious, the rooms feature characterful, built-in-cabinetry and vintage pendant lighting.

The northeast corner of the home offers a couplet of bedrooms connected to a second bathroom. The central wall could easily be removed, creating a sun-drenched parental oasis, opening to northern patio and garden.

Progressively sustainable for its time, the home has retrofitted double glazing, original Solahart heating and cooling, and rooftop solar panels.

An enormous variety of perennial planting erupting with seasonal colour, combined with natives and fruit trees, make for a sweeping plot of incredible bounty and biodiversity. Banksia rose draped arbour, spears of orange winter gladioli, Chinese tallow, olive, fig, mulberry, nectarine and lemon trees add to this wonderland of flora and fauna.
