#soldbysally #soldbyash $695,000

The surrounding open reserves are the inspo behind a home that celebrates the natural hues of the bush. We are so obsessed with this colour palette right now ? think sand and stone, sun-bleached wood, reclaimed metals with their patina of rusty reds. Lively natives teem from Corten steel beds that will age and ripen with time. So many thoughtful touches, engendering a home that feels timeless and enduring.

This gorgeous two-bedder is arranged in an open plan, flowing to northern courtyard. It rests at the foot of Mt Majura and is a few steps from the endless walking trails that traverse the open bushland. Whitmore Crescent is a quiet loop street, lined with handsome low-level residences, all with pretty front gardens. There is ample visitor parking spots close by and a private driveway that ushers to a remote garage, with the convenience of internal access.

Floating timber like floors introduce an earthy country feel, stretching to glass doors making the most of the sunny northern orientation, spilling to the thoughtfully landscaped courtyard. The kitchen shines white with black worktops, introducing a sleek monochromatic note. Banks of storage, neatly tiled splashback and chrome handles mixes sleek modern with the country rustic vibe. There is a relaxed, open mood, allowing for conversations across the open plan, perfect for entertaining and family togetherness.

Rich carpet?think weathered woods, chestnut, chocolate, warms both bedrooms. Each welcoming bedroom has built-in-robes, so there is a place for everything. There is a generous family bathroom and separate powder room. The bathroom is finished in fresh white, with a ribbon of glass mosaics and there is a relaxing bathtub.

The Fair is a boutique development famous for its ready access to Clancy's Walking Track and Valour Park. There is a strong community vibe with street library and a productive vegetable garden for all to share. There is also a community centre, playground and a BBQ spot, so you can get together with neighbours or friends and enjoy the natural surrounds. This tranquil locale also connects you to a cornucopia of expressive eating, drinking and shopping experiences. The Dickson and Braddon precincts are at hand and the light rail whisks you straight to the CBD.

And oh, the lifestyle?stroll to Watson shops for great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. Or rise early on Saturday for a bounty of fresh produce from the Farmer's Market at Epic. Perhaps a pottery class at the Potter's Society? Or explore the myriad of boutique shops, cafes and eateries at the nearby Braddon Precinct. Dickson is not far with the brand new Dickson Village and the partially completed DKSN precinct, offering sleek office facilities and a mix of boutiques and eateries. There is the famous Dickson pool for summer lap swimming and of course, easy access to a myriad of green spaces including the Watson Woodlands and epic views from Mount Majura. A brand new, inclusive play space and recreational park is forthcoming in the area and the home is convenient to a mix of private and public schools.
