40 Bruning St, Gungahlin ACT 2912

Within soft carpet stretches underfoot, as a roomy foyer with built-in-cupboard, gifts a spot for dumping technology, hanging winter coats and woollies. Large windows welcome light and aspect, offering recessed bays for window seating, study nooks. The generous front room a lovely flexible space…large enough to accommodate comfy lounges and a dining table fit for sharing.

Capturing both light and garden views, the sunken kitchen combined meals opens fully, embracing the private courtyard to the rear. Here a combo of sheltered and open alfresco areas merge to soft lawn, shading tree, the garden and lawn wrapping around the side of the home. There is quick access across the garden from the double garage, which is accessed privately via Causley Lane.

The kitchen is a muted, well arrayed affair with banks of creamy white cabinetry, dark worktops and tiled splashback in soft taupe. There are sleek stainless-steel appliances, and a full-height pantry providing excellent storage. Tucked away to one side is a laundry and powder room, so guests and family don't have to trapse upstairs. Perfect for entertaining, this hard working social hub feels liveable and warm, timber floors stretch underfoot and ample glazing's fully embrace the sunshine, the green backdrop of the garden.

A soaring vaulted ceiling void with high windows floods the landing with natural light – the upper level given over to three peaceful bedrooms. One imagines the soft presence of the moon at nighttime, lending an ethereal silvery glow. The whole upper level finished concordantly, with a limited palette of buttery cream and soft whites, keeping things natural, clean and soothingly simple.

The master bedroom has a wall of robes and romantic drift to a private balcony. The railing is twined with green vines and doors can be flung open to breezes. From here you can look out over the back garden and across the peaked terracotta rooftops, their russet reds warmly inviting, set against the endless blue sky. There is a walk-in-robe and direct access to an elegant ensuite imbued with plenty of soft natural light.

Bedroom one faces north and welcomes light via a large bay window, deeply recessed with high ceilings adding volume and depth. Both additional bedrooms have excellent built-in-storage and all the rooms are softly carpeted. Just across the way, the family bathroom is finished in white tiles with a neat border of simple mosaics and offers a large shower and a relaxing bathtub.

Steeped in a suburban peace, moments from a dotting of green spaces, basketball courts and Yerrabi Pond Parklands, the home is also an easy stroll to a myriad of shops and cafes and eateries. Think relaxed pubs, buzzing cafes, pizzerias, and Singapore Street food. Gungahlin is a fast growing, ever-evolving precinct with a cornucopia of stores and services, all within walking distance. The home is also not far from Mulanggari Grasslands and Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, and the walking/biking trails of Gungahlin Lake. Throw in excellent public transport including the light rail, whisking you straight to Dickson, Braddon, and the CBD, and you can ditch the car and enjoy a connected lifestyle, with everything at your doorstep.
