The road into Wybalena Grove is glowing golden with flowering wattle, the neat clusters of townhouses relaxing into the Canberra bush, spilling to private courtyards and leafy decks. Designed by the famous architect, Michael Dysart, this special enclave, is famed for its well preserved late 20th century regional style, its picturesque setting, peaceful and warm community vibes. Shared vegetable gardens, pizza oven, children's playgrounds and a tennis court all foster neighbourly togetherness, adding to the unique vibe of the Grove with its innovative 70s design.

The home captures the heart from the get-go ? the private bushland approach, slate paving and broad timber decking edged by liriopes and lush native grasses. There is a feeling of transparency - a clear sight line from one end of the home to the other. The home suspended and flowing to twin alfresco living areas, drifting peacefully within the stunning landscape.

This gorgeous two-bedder is nestled privately within the landscape and champions the deep connection with nature; its considered renovations and rich material palette in-tune with the unique context of the area. The home retains all the hallmarks of the organic style - skillion tiled roof, oiled timber exterior and walls of glazing that float the stunning surrounds within.

The north-facing split-level living connects effortlessly with outside on both sides; the paired-back palette enhanced by calming earthy notes. The kitchen looks out over the living area and quietly captures the textures and tones of the bush - softly grained greys, rich timber notes. Stone worktops gleam white beneath the large window and quality stainless-steel appliances add to the considered amenity.

Polished timber floors flow underfoot as full height ribbon windows welcome exclamations of light. The dining combined living, imbued with a celebratory vibe, as high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a wall of sliders connect home and nature. Clever in-built bookshelves, warm the dining space. The whole area reading like a relaxed escape, nested within an idyllic landscape - shady trees, strappy grasses, native ferns, endless grasslands.

The master bedroom has a wall of timber robes and glazing's that open deck side. Think billowing sheer curtains, waking to the soft filtered light of morning, the sound of silence interrupted only by the call of birds. A day in bed anyone? Or perhaps a first coffee among the trees?a full engagement of all the senses.

The second bedroom takes in the front deck and courtyard garden via a wall of glass. This quiet, elevated room at once elegant, sequestered and calm. The central bathroom, finished in seamless marbled floor-to-ceiling tiling creating a serene enveloping vibe. A long vanity is topped with black stone and houses twin basins and there is a relaxing bathtub and separate shower.

Cook occupies a leafy corner in the Belconnen district and is flanked by reserves. Boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails, it is a mere 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. There is easy access to Jamison Plaza, Belconnen precinct, and Aranda shops. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minutes' drive to the CBD and the ANU.
