15 Mcginness Street, Scullin, ACT 2614

A welcoming family home for over fifty years, enveloped in immaculately tended established gardens, brimming with light and soul. This generous four-bedder is the kind of sanctuary where memories are made and life unfolds with delightful ease.

A mix of social domains and easy drift to outdoors gifts plenty of different spaces for communion, celebration and quiet reflection.

Resting on a leafy street, surrounded by greenspaces and playgrounds, the home is an easy stroll to the newly enlivened Scullin shops. This peaceful suburb places you moments from the bustling Belconnen Precinct and close to the beauty of local reserves and Lake Ginninderra. It is also just a short commute to the heritage inner-north and the enticing happenings of Braddon and the CBD.

The blonde brick form with large windows and terracotta pitched roof in vintage suburbia, with long driveway ushering beneath a carport to the garage beyond. A tapestry of bright colour edges the soft swell of lawn, the elevated front porch shielded by the white blooms of a snowball tree. It's quiet the entry sequence, making for a necessary pause, taking in the lush beauty of so many beautiful plantings and shady trees. 

We love the preserved timber door with twin bevelled glass sidelights and the generous foyer with a handy storage cupboard. From here there is an open merge to the generous living area combined formal dining space. Walls are a soothing creamy nougat and large windows frame the picturesque gardens. There is a nice circular flow to the central kitchen, all classic timber handles set against cabinetry in the softest of peachy hues. A large servery windows keeps things conversational with the family room, spilling to the large sheltered deck.

The master suite in nicely sequestered at one end of the home and gifts ample space for both lounging and working from home. There is an ensuite bathroom and built-in-robes for seamless storage. Three additional bedrooms centre around a family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub, softly illuminated by a skylight. There is also a separate toilet and a large internal laundry. 

One imagines spending whole summers on the large deck side, immersed in nature, enjoying time with family and friends, the kids playing on the smooth lawns. The enormous backyard a private oasis, teaming with flowering camelias, banksia roses, azaleas and mixed herbs. In one corner a stately eucalypt casts elongated shade and a jasmine twined arbour shields a dedicated utility bay, perfect for hiding the bins.

Stroll to Sweet Bones Bakery and Café for a great coffee and delectable Cinnabon, and newcomer Muku Ramen Bar is serving up modern plant based Japanese food.  Change Wellness is bringing people together for yoga classes  and old favourites like Another Chance Op Shop for great vintage finds and Sue's Kitchen for a relaxed dinner. 
Surrounded by a myriad of sporting fields, playgrounds and parks the home is immersed in leafy beauty, and it is not far to the stunning walking tracks of Pinnacle Reserve. The dynamic and evolving Belconnen precinct is a few minutes away with its myriad of dining and shopping options, including the  newly opened Capital Food Markets, currently undergoing an exciting refurb. The home is close to transport and a choice of schools.
