22 Noala St, Aranda ACT 2614

The locale is ideal – quiet loop street, directly across from reserve and moments from the popular Aranda shops, minutes from the bustling Belconnen precinct. The home fully embracing the city meets bush ethos that has made Aranda so famous, with wrap around eco landscaping, complete with dry river bed and a host of pretty indigenous plantings. The form all tumbled, organic brick, with interesting architectural lines, private driveway, double garage and over-sized front door set within a cooling sheltered front porch.

Even the cinema room has raked ceilings, high set automated windows and blinds. The screen is automated too, which comes as no surprise in this high-tech home. Wired speakers, controlled lighting cater for occasion and mood. And we love the easy-care ceramic flooring, the whisper white walls and soothing neutral palette, offset by the surprise of colorful graffiti panels, set high in the dramatic void of the family bathroom.

A spacious home office doubles down as a guest or fourth bedroom, with a wall bed set within bespoke cabinetry. The private wing extending to accommodate a large master suite and two additional bedrooms. A roomy walk-in-robe and elegant ensuite complete the parental haven. While a duo of children's bedrooms cluster around a fab family bathroom – walk-in-rain shower, deluxe floating bathtub.

The social domain is all light and breezes as glass walls make the most of northern sunlight and sliders open everything up, embracing poolside living. Even the custom bar spills to outside and can be opened interiorly, creating one big entertaining hub. In one corner, a chef's kitchen is elegantly finished in soft taupe, midnight black. There is a floating island for relaxed gathering, quality appliances from Miele, banks of storage and a generous walk-in-pantry.

The bar is a playful zone with an interesting history, the fittings all salvaged from Telopea Park Inn. Part man cave, part fabulous gathering place, the space tips to a sheltered pergola, outdoor kitchen. The whole arena feels playful and coastal, with the kind of versatility of spaces that make gathering easy. Think whole summers drifting from inside to out, the kids a part of the action…spending precious time together and having a lot of fun.

Aranda is surrounded by natural reserves and moments from the thriving Belconnen precinct and Jamison Centre. The fab, local Aranda shops boast local favorites, café - Two Before Ten, and homewares store - Meet Gather Collect. Within walking distance to Aranda primary school and close to a variety of public and private colleges, the home, is also close to the UC, AIS, Bruce Stadium and only 11 minutes to the CBD.
