12 Mollison Street, Scullin, ACT 2614

A wonderful renovation has totally reinvigorated this lovely three-bedder, creating a family friendly haven for all to enjoy. Open plan living captures the scenic peace of fully landscaped gardens. Crisp whites are earthed by natural timbers and there is an elemental simplicity at play, spilling to an expansive covered entertainment area that overlooks soft green lawns.
 
This stunning home sits behind a deep swell of carefully curated gardens and a magnificent sheltering eucalypt. There is the ease of a circular driveway, with gated parking on one side and a carport with auto-door and lighting on the other. An elevated front veranda drinks in the carefully chosen plantings, including white flowering laurustinus and a welcoming grove of crepe myrtles.
 
A broad front door opens onto a welcoming foyer.  The paired back materiality is concordant throughout, lending a soothing, timeless air. We love the threading of matt black, set against crisp whites, all grounded by hybrid blackbutt floors. And the modern updates that gift sustainable living and all year comfort – solar array, double glazing, ducted and zoned RC heating and cooling.
 
Living is arranged in an open plan with big windows and glass doors that welcome light and nature within. It's hard not to fall in love with the country provincial stylings of the kitchen, its white stone worktops and array of white cabinetry and drawers, set with black fixtures and handles. There is a floating island, so the kids can hang and chat while you cook, and banks of storage. One imagines many hands making light work, shared meals, lingering chats, entertaining that spills to the large outdoor deck.
 
Reading more like an outdoor room, all sheltering roof, downlights and timber balustrades, the rear deck is generous with plenty of space for lounging and dining alfresco. A lovely elevation captures the surrounding treetops, the whole area privatised by lush green walls. Think long weekend lunches, summer evenings…time outside with family and friends, the kids enjoying the soft lawns and living informed by an easy back and forth from inside to out.
 
A slender hallway ushers to three peaceful bedrooms that take in garden vistas and all centre around a family bathroom and separate powder room. Both the bathroom and powder room are beautifully finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling. Timber vanities add to the soft organic vibe and there is a dash of modernity to the black hardware, including a soothing rain shower.
 
The master bedroom has a wall of mirrored robes and both additional bedrooms deliver excellent built-in-storage. Soft grey carpets marry with the black framed windows and ceiling fans keep things temperate during the hotter months. An internal laundry completes the wing, with a glass door that opens onto the garden. The same attention to detail and exacting quality is at play here – stone benchtop, tiled splash back, black accents, seamless storage.
 
Mollison is a quiet street that connects to the re-invigorated Scullin shops, home to commissioned murals, Scullin Sweet Bones and Muku Ramen Bar. This leafy suburb is brimming with parks and ovals and handy to the endless walking and biking trails of Pinnacle Nature Reserve. The Belconnen precinct is moments away with its cornucopia of shops and eateries, including  Capital Food Markets. While arterial roads connect you straight to the inner-north, ANU and the CBD.
