4 Sproule Circuit, Evatt ACT 2617

The home sits low on the block, secluded by a leafy garden with sandstone retaining walls bordering a patio that runs the length of the frontage. Exterior walls are painted a soft grey and there is a dotting of crisp white windows. There is a private driveway ushering to a single carport with internal access. And the welcoming intrigue of the original carved timber door, broad and painted a striking matt black, and opening onto a generous foyer, with a spot to hang coats and woollies.

Easy-care vinyl floors in timber hues, stretch to meet dove grey walls, as generous social spaces unfold from one to the other. Large windows welcome leafy garden views and plenty of light. We love the way the front living area flows openly to the kitchen combined dining, the whole family hub tipping outside to a sheltered alfresco area. Glass sliders can be flung open to breezes that reach deep into the open plan and you can dine outside in all weathers, protected by shady pergola and the natural screen of an age-old weeping cherry tree.

The living area is both cosy and open, with broad arched entry to the conversational combo of kitchen and meals. The kitchen perfectly arrayed in one corner, with plentiful cabinets, including a double pantry and all painted a gentle grey. A big window is ideally placed above the sink, so you can watch the kids at play on the soft lawns, while the dining space perfectly frames the weeping arms of the magnificent pink flowering cherry tree.

A clever garage conversion has created a second living area or rumpus, the perfect hang for the kids, with its large window welcoming northern light and big cupboards for storing books and games. But this is also a flexible family space…think teen hang, home office, yoga room or creative hub, the choice is yours.

Three of the four bedrooms face north, with large windows welcoming a blessing of light. The fourth bedroom frames the back garden and a stand of pink flowering roses. Three bedrooms have built-in-robes and all four centre around a renovated family bathroom with separate toilet. The bathroom is beautifully finished in white floor-to-ceiling tiling, softly marbled with contrasting dark floors. There is a freestanding bathtub, deluxe rain shower and clever inset shelving for curated storage and a large vanity to hide all the extras.

There is a feeling of expanse - wide tree lined streets, a deep quiet, ample green spaces, walking tracks and ovals - that characterises life in the family friendly suburb of Evatt. The home is close to the local Evatt and Spence shops, a variety of schools and the Belconnen precinct, with its wide-ranging offering of entertainment, shopping and dining options. Convenient to the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC., the home is a mere 15 minutes to the CBD and the ANU.
