9 Yarrow Place

O'Connor ACT 2602

There is something soothing about the warm hues and tactile qualities of timber. With its soft oak ceilings and flowing timber floors, yarrow.home is a comforting and intimate space despite its dynamic volume. Set across three levels, the home has the generous proportions and versatility, to suit a variety of needs and opens to the most exquisite backdrop - beautifully planted terraced gardens, swimming pool and basketball court.

Yarrow Place is a tightly held, whisper quiet, cul-de-sac with the rare honour of occupying one of O'Connor's highest points. Surrounded by established homes, just a few steps to reserve and seeded within the dynamic inner-north, with incredible elevated aspect, the home enjoys a coveted and privileged position.

Resting on a gently sloping block, the simple rendered form cuts a handsome silhouette, rising yet deeply nestled within landscape. Garden paths held by lush plantings usher down to stencil cut, iron gate and entry is via a private paved courtyard.

The front living room has a quaker like beauty and simplicity - bespoke book shelving occupies one entire wall and fireplace with mantle is a lovely focal point. Sliding glass doors extend the room to the sunny front courtyard.

The modern chef's kitchen - banks of white cabinetry, stone bench tops, luxe appliances and charming custom, curved, breakfast nook - delights with its leafy views to garden.

Steps lead down to a celebratory second living area - cathedral ceilings, glazing framing garden views on both sides, sliding doors opening to alfresco dining. There is the feeling of floating within landscape yet cocooned, held, warmed by gas fireplace.

Twin bedrooms occupy the front of the ground floor, with a third bedroom opening to the rear garden. With a feel of understated luxury and combination of bespoke cabinetry, the trio of rooms, centre around a family bathroom with tub, twin basins and Hollywood mirror. This intimate zone makes for a fabulous children's wing or teen retreat.

A profuse use of washed oak and display of craft - beamed ceilings, custom cabinetry - lends a distinct Nordic feel to the four upstairs bedrooms. Versatile and generous with walk-in-robe and bathroom housing twin rain showers, the entire floor could be utilised as a parent's retreat or just as easily accommodate family, guests. Rows of glazing are arranged to welcome light, frame topography, sky, soaring panoramas.

The sheltering arms of vintage elm, statuesque pine, established hedging, soft lawn, the changing light across the pool, gentle early morning laps, the kids shooting hoops on endless afternoonsthe entire garden a secret space, a layered stage for exploring, memory making, graced with magic, delight.
