Situated within the quiet, leafy suburb of Melba, this charming three-bedroom townhouse, sits within a boutique development, close to Melba High School, Tennis club, Wetland Park, and Half Acre Wood. <br/><br/>There is a lovely sunny, easy flow, a calming neutral palette, and a winning floorplan set across two levels, that privatises the master wing. The social arena drifts to elevated veranda that takes in views of the Brindabellas while to the north there is the gift of a golden, sunken courtyard.<br/> <br/>Resting on the high side of Goldner Street, and overlooking the school ground, the home is set-back and privatised behind mature hedging. A floating footbridge ushers to the front entry, suspended above the courtyard set with charming garden rockery. To the rear there is driveway access to the double garage and the convenience of internal access to the ground floor. <br/> <br/>A wonderfully bright living, dining space occupies the western side, flowing to second living area and open kitchen. Honeyed timber floors flow underfoot, and gorgeous bagged brick feature walls lend texture and warmth. A skylight above the dining area draws in further light and there is a lovely feel of open, airiness. <br/> <br/>Both social arenas merge with deep veranda, blurring the boundaries between outside and in. The veranda is a lovely spot to sit on warm evenings, taking in magic sunsets over the mountains. <br/> <br/>Tucked into one corner the kitchen communes directly with a generous second living or meals arena, with both spaces taking in views out and across the veranda…blue sky, a glimpse of vintage pines and the deeper blue of mountain ranges. Compact yet packed with storage, the kitchen has a lovely paired back aesthetic and features a curved benchtop that also functions as a breakfast bar.<br/> <br/>The master bedroom draws in northern light via the enormous picture windows that capture views of the garden below. There is the pleasure of the ensuite bathroom and plenty of shelving within the walk-in-robe, neatly takes care of storage.<br/> <br/>Downstairs two sunny bedrooms centre around a family bathroom and adjacent laundry. This sequestered children's wing opens to garden and alfresco dining beneath a sheltering row of pink camellias. Stunning curved rock retaining walls host beautiful plantings, with rock steps leading up to the street. The warm hue of the natural stone, the sun-drenched northern aspect…impart the feeling of private, gilded oasis.<br/> <br/>Melba is a suburb in the Belconnen district, positioned at the foot of Mt Roger's, and known for its family friendly, relaxed vibe and community spirit.
