43 Tyrrell Circuit, Kaleen ACT 2617

Light brick and a simple, low-lying form lends the home a quiet presence. There is a driveway that ushers to a separate double garage and rows of roses edging a central garden path. Mostly there is the feeling of expanse, the gardens encircling the entire home, creating a leafy privacy. This combined with the endless natural surrounds gifts the feeling of a country estate, at once removed yet connected to all the conveniences of city living.

Within, a curved arch connects the front living area to the formal dining space, both lovely rooms informed by large windows that frame the landscape. There is a slow combustion fireplace for cold winter nights and the convenience of ducted gas heating. Sheer curtains filter a gentle light and there are automatic security sun screens for those long hot summer days.

The modern kitchen is all light and bright, with banks of cabinetry and a big window overlooking the back deck and garden. There is a nice connection with both the formal dining space and a more relaxed meals area. From here, glass sliders open to embrace outdoor living. One imagines summer days spent dining beneath the shelter of the pergola, an ideal to-and-fro from inside to out, generous time spent with family and friends.

A slender hallway connects to three serene bedrooms, all with big windows capturing the colours and moods of the expansive gardens. The master has a wall of built-in-robes and both additional bedrooms also serve up excellent storage.

Kaleen is in the Belconnen district and shoulders the inner north suburbs of Lyneham and O'Connor, connecting to Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve. This central, inner locale makes Kaleen a highly coveted suburb - close to transport, great schools, the UC, CIT, AIS and Canberra Stadium. With plenty of parks, bike and walking trails, the home is also handy to Kaleen Plaza, and just a short 10-minute drive to Belconnen and 15 minutes to the CBD.
