53 Glasgow Street

Hughes ACT 2605

The home rises confidently from the high side of a much coveted street and opens directly onto peaceful bush reserve. The fabulous locale places you moments from the buzzing restaurants and caf?s of the Woden precinct and the boutique offerings of Manuka and Kingston.

Within it is all sunlight and love as banks of windows capture the poetic surrounds at every turn. White walls combine with lush grey carpets to create an enveloping, tranquil feel. From the front living area and adjoining formal dining you can see the twinkling lights of Woden and the soft presence of the mountains. Adults can sojourn for drinks within this elegant front arena, watch a movie or celebrate with a wild dinner party.

The kitchen and combined family room, glows in the sunlight as glass sliders give way to a vast paved alfresco arena. Banks of white cabinetry including twin full-height pantries meet white worktops and splash back, to create a minimal Scandi-vibe.

Organic slate flooring flows underfoot and a long peninsula creates a spot for everyone to gather as you cook up a storm. Kids and guests can lounge on the adjacent sofa, while in the summer months, everyone can spill outside to dine in the sunshine.

The children's wing houses four welcoming bedrooms, each with built-in-robes and large windows that speak to nature. There is a family bathroom in neat monochromatic black and white and the convenience of a separate toilet.

Soft sheers billow romantically as glass sliders float the botanical oasis within?the master suite a haven of privacy, ideally sequestered on the northern side of the home. There is a sleek ensuite bathroom and walk-thru-robe for effortless storage.

Highly considered layered spaces allow for both connection and garden repose, within the large back garden, with its outlook to endless reserve. Green hedged walls screen a private circle of soft lawn, bordered and shaded by mature plantings. There is direct gate access to the walking and biking trails that wend past Federal Golf Course, all the way to Red Hill Lookout.

Hughes is a quiet, hidden pocket, ideally positioned close to the bustling Woden precinct, minutes from Canberra hospital and Deakin. Surrounded by green spaces including the nearby Red Hill Nature Reserve and with excellent access to transport and a variety of schools, the home also gifts easy access to all the wonderful restaurants and shops within the boutique suburbs of the inner south.
