Last Listing description (June 2016)
If you've ever been in love, you will know how this feels. To be completely consumed in the romanticism of this very pretty home, nestled amongst the ponds, the cottage gardens, behind a picket gate, in meandering paths and spectacular deciduous colour, all framing this beautifully quaint, picture-book, single level, light-filled, three bedroom, two (full) bathroom, jewellery box.
Allow me to proudly introduce you to Number 16 in 'Bruce Waters', Tauss Place, Bruce. Your heart will be perfectly lost here.
The stencilled paths through the pretty rambling garden beds, lead to the front patio under the roof-line, where many a lazy afternoon is celebrated, welcoming your family and guests. Through to the entrance hall, with breath-taking natural light-filled living rooms, embraced by the pretty garden views in every turn, a gentle floor plan falls open to you.
A north-facing living room rests to the right of the entrance with its own viewing window over the front garden, inviting you through to the beautifully positioned dining room (set with terraced garden views and double sliding door access to the outdoor porch beyond). The kitchen is showcased in the heart of the home with new Beko dishwasher, electric under-bench oven and ceramic four-burner cooktop, timber featured joinery, ceiling cabinetry and walk-in pantry.
The generous open plan family/library/study room cleverly positioned adjacent to the kitchen enjoys access to the stencilled outdoor porch and covered pergola, private potted gardens and garden side-walk.
The family-sized laundry has external access along the paths to the drying clothes-line in the outdoor, gated utilities room.
An elegant and restful king-size master bedroom sits on the hall, behind double sets of entry doors, showcasing the beautifully mastered red timber doors throughout, with pretty views over the front garden, and featuring a fitted three-door, mirrored robe, and an indulging, over-sized master ensuite with assistance hand rails, spa bath and separate shower.
A second master bedroom presenting to the rear, set amongst the gardens, is beautifully serviced along with the third bedroom to the front, by the main bathroom finished with a separate wall bath set in floor tiles, assistance hand rails and separate shower.
The automated double garage with single panel door, is conveniently located along the brick-piered fenceline to the front, with an additional outdoor gated garden room to the left.
This beautifully quaint home is finished with carpet and tiling flooring, custom-made heavy curtains and vertical blinds, Daikin ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system, stencilled paths and established gardens and landscaping. Pathways through the hamlet of twenty lead onto the ponds for picnics, bird-watching, quite reflection and respite. The location means you are minutes away from bush-walks, Radford College, the AIS, the University of Canberra, the Canberra Institute of Technology, the Canberra Hospital and local shopping centres and restaurants and easy access to Civic, Gungahlin, Belconnen and Woden.
To truly appreciate this exquisite offering, you must simply experience it. You are invited to come and enjoy this picture-book jewellery box first-hand and all of the beautiful location features offered with it.
