143 Stockman Avenue, Lawson, ACT 2617

Lofty ceiling heights create a sense of freedom, the epic 2.8m proportions, enhancing the felt sense of space. Living is arranged in a simple open plan, merging to a paved alfresco nook, sun-striped and private, with high slatted courtyard walls.
 
This airy two-bedder is arrayed across two-levels and forges a wonderful connection with outside. The consistent palette is clean and contemporary, allowing the architectural drama to do the talking. Northern light reaches deep into the social space, via multiple glazings including high clerestory windows.
 
Stockman Avenue edges Lawson Grasslands, reaching to meet Lake Ginninderra and the green spaces that surround the water's edge. Neat rows of new townhouses glint in the sun, No.143 all smooth white and soft dove rendered walls. A simple layering of boxed planes lend a Californian modernist vibe, while a hint of timber cladding, left to weather naturally, strikes a note of Australian silver grey. And the locale is fabulous, dishing up the best of all worlds - sweeping natural landscape, chilled community vibe, super close to the inner north, Belconnen precinct and the CBD.
 
Timber look tiles grace the floor, walls are creamy white and the kitchen is a study in tone and texture. The subway tiled splashback shimmers in the light, earthed by speckled stone worktops with banks of seamless satin white cabinetry. There is a large walk-in-pantry, plenty of soft touch drawers and a central island that looks out over the dining and living space, and beyond to the coming and goings of the street, the arching blue skies.
 
Upstairs is given over to two peaceful bedrooms, both with elevated views and excellent storage. The master is graced with northern light, serves up a wall of built-n-robes and an elegant ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also has a built-in-robe and opens directly onto a jack-and-jill family bathroom. Both bathrooms echo the materiality of downstairs, lending a luxurious and consistent design thread. Timber look tiling flows from floor to feature wall, offset by crisp white tiles set in a subway pattern.
 
Add a laundry combined powder room, neatly tucked away on the landing. A single garage with private rear lane access, plus an extra allocated carpark, off street at the rear, internal entry and you have easy living at its best – informed by endless natural beauty and seeded within a vibrant urban lifestyle.
 
The ever-popular Lawson is famed for its nearby playgrounds and all surrounding, striking natural beauty of Henry Lawson Reservoir Hill. Extending a vibrant community spirit, it is home to SV Coffee and Bakery, run out of the barrister's home - a famous local gathering spot. The home is also close to grasslands and the meandering walking trails that edge Lake Ginninderra. The fabulous Bellbird Loop Playground is close to hand and it is a few steps to the local bus stop. Whisper close to the inner-north and the CBD the home is also amenable to the bustling Belconnen precinct, moments from UC. It is a mere 18 minutes to the city by car.
