14 Wybalena Grove, Cook ACT 2614

The authentic elements – skillion tiled roof, oiled timber, front facing external courtyard are lovingly preserved, exemplary of the late 20th century regional style of architecture. But there is a rather large surprise upon entry as a cathedral like void unfolds in airy, white-washed splendour. Sculptural glass pendants illuminate the lofty space and sheer glass balustrades contribute to the celebratory sense of volume.

The master bedroom and ensuite are dressed in simple black and whites, emblematic of the "less is more" aesthetic that is woven throughout the home. The room drifts to a private walled courtyard that captures the morning sun and houses a walk-in-robe for seamless storage. Just across the way, the fourth bedroom or nursery welcomes with its warm raw brick wall, lofty ceiling heights and striking black pendant.

Stepping down to the lower ground level, you are struck by the flush access to outdoors, as two additional bedrooms open to a privately fenced back garden. There is a large contemporary family bathroom and an open living space, perfect for the kids to get busy with books and toys. Both bathrooms are elegantly finished in floor to ceiling tiling in pure white, with midnight black fixtures and timber wall hung vanities.

The family hub unfolds on the top level and spills to elevated balcony with stunning bush vistas and golden northern light that streams through the trees. Within the space is all simple luxury, where cooking, dining, lounging and entertaining are made easy. A simple material palette of crisp white, soft grey, with accents of midnight black, ushers in a relaxed minimalism. Functionality is key, as banks of storage meet subway tiling and gorgeous stone worktops. We love the waterfall island bench, the original cedar window set above the sink and the built-in-wine rack. There are also open shelving for books and display within the living space. The connection to landscape captures your heart…those big sky views, the weather rolling in, and the sunsets, streaking the sky in hues of red and pink.

Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
