7 Druitt Place

Macquarie ACT 2614

Bathing in restorative natural light with elevated views to Black Mountain through a leafy landscape, this expansive family home has thoughtful features designed to echo its natural surroundings.

The sunroom and back deck frame the heart of the home; an open, spacious living area adjacent to a large dining room and kitchen. The living spaces are comfortable, and close enough to the outdoors to feel the calming sense of nature wherever you sit. This balance of spaciousness and warmth enhances the liveability.
At the front of the house the north-facing sunroom, with its floor to ceiling picture windows, soaks up the warming northeasterly sun on winter mornings, and overlooks the front garden featuring a beautiful solar powered waterfall and fishpond.
At the back of the house is a covered back deck with room enough to host an outdoor evening dinner party or just enjoy a breakfast with views over the treetops.

Comfort is enhanced with skylights, double glazed windows, lime-washed flooring, and cedar-framed French doors leading on to the back deck. Down the steps to the backyard, youll arrive on river stone and old Canberra brick paving under the redwood, a perfect area for an outdoor fire and summer parties.
The open kitchen with island bench and caesar stone bench tops has custom shelving with plenty of storage space plus a very unique commissioned splashback which adds to the wow factor.

Three spacious bedrooms are on the upper level, all with built-in wardrobes, including the main bedroom with its ensuite and a beautiful large skylight above the shower. The deck off the main bedroom steps down to a private courtyard enhanced by the stunning banksia inspired privacy screen, with ample room for an outdoor sauna/cold plunge/hot tub.

Downstairs, accessed by an internal stairway, there's a huge rumpus room/playroom/teenage retreat/billiard room/gym, and separate room which could be a music room or home office. Attached to this is a laundry-come-mudroom with shower and toilet, and cellar with plenty of storage space.

In the backyard a mature, carefully tended vegetable garden is framed by a 30-year-old grapevine along with lemon, lime, pomegranate, apple, persimmon, apricot, and plum treesa feast of fruit and vegetables perfect for grazing and picking throughout the year. The dodecahedron shed in the back corner is the perfect space for bikes or a creative space for gardeners or makers. There is a second shed at the top of the garden perfect for storing lawn mowers and gardening tools with outdoor power available.

On the eastern side of the house is a double length, 3 metre high carport with plenty of space to hang kayaks above the waiting roof bars of your car for easy loading/unloading, and a paddle on one of the many waterways around Canberra. The house has underground 3-phase power connected, with power routed to the carport in preparation for charging an electric vehicle.

Situated in one of Macquaries most tightly held places, it is a 5 minutes walk from the Macquarie Primary School, and a 5 minute drive from Bunnings, Belconnen Markets and the Jamison Centre. Its easy to fall in love with the calming landscape and the community who live here.
