26 Maplestone Pl, Chapman ACT 2611

The double front door is fluted and opens onto a small foyer edged with stained glass. Warm brown hues pattern ceramic floor tiles, giving way to timber-like laminate flooring. Arches introduce a formal dining area with views across the fernery. Floor-up cedar windows welcome light, expanding the grand living area via sightline to landscape. The brick hearth is set with a slow combustion fireplace and topped with a timber mantle and glass doors open to a rear patio, sheltered by the reaching arms of an elm tree.

There is such a lovely symmetry and balance at work, the second living area a mirror to the first, sitting beyond the kitchen with fireplace and doors onto the patio. The kitchen has lots of storage and a big servery window that allows food and conversations to flow. In one corner of the kitchen a breakfast nook has been hand-crafted Tudor style, evoking an old English pub, illuminated by the soft glow of stained-glass panes.

Sequestered to the front is a large master bedroom with wonderful storage and a contemporary ensuite bathroom. Here a big window captures quite the magical garden vista – steps travelling beneath a gathering of trees, a secret alfresco setting surrounded by a forest of green. At the other end of the home three additional bedrooms also enjoy leafy views and serve up excellent storage. There is a home office here too, lined with shelving and sitting across from a practical storeroom. The family bathroom is renovated and generous and has a bidet and a relaxing bathtub.

Chapman borders Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve and enjoys access to fantastic walking trails and recreational pursuits. Known for its wide tree lined streets, established homes and family values, it is a sought-after quiet enclave. The home is close to parks and oval, transport and a variety of public and private schools. It is moments to Cooleman Court and not far to the Woden precinct, offering a plethora of dynamic shopping, dining and entertainment experiences. The Chapman shops are nearby with local favourites including, Chapman Café for great coffee, burgers and pizza and Pastries on Perry.

To experience this beautiful home for yourself, reach out to Rick and Tina on 0408 588 770.
