17 Berne Crescent, MacGregor, ACT 2615

This generous three-bedder exudes welcoming, relaxed vibes, as multiple social spaces, allow you to unwind, commune and celebrate. Set on a large block, with a lovely elevation, the home brims with potential and is ideally placed, moments from parklands, reserve and the bustling Belconnen precinct.

The home is set back behind a swell of plantings with a private driveway and plenty of additional off-street parking. On one side there is a sheltering carport and beyond a single metal garage. The rendered form with its peaked terracotta roof rises from the block, gifting elevated vistas from the front veranda. 

There is a generous welcoming foyer, and on the immediate left, French doors with vintage patterned glass that open onto a living area combined dining space. This warm social hub is wonderfully light, with banks of windows welcoming sunshine and there is an easy flow to both the kitchen and sunken rumpus room beyond. 

The kitchen feels contemporary with its banks of cabinetry in earthy chestnut brown, light worktops and sleek 90cm stainless steel freestanding oven with gas hob. There is a large servery window that overlooks the second living or rumpus, keeping things conversational and convivial. One imagines shared meals, lingering chats, entertaining at the formal dining table or relaxed times within the sunny rumpus, reading like a large sunroom, with its rows of windows gifting a lovely transparency onto the garden. 

The intimate wing of the home houses three good sized bedrooms, with the master, offering a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage and an ensuite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom with a bathtub and the convenience of a separate toilet.

The terraced back garden rises to meet a duo of palm trees and has a country feel, with its generosity of spaces that include raised vegetable beds, chook shed, swell of lawn. There is also a large closed-in pergola, unapproved and rustically styled with bar, sink and fireplace. All-in-all there is a tonne of garden space just calling for a green thumb to unleash their imagination, nurturing and planting, creating an inspirational botanical oasis.

And the locale is fab, just moments from endless green spaces, including Berne Crescent Playground and Goodwin Hill. The home is handy to Kippax, famous for its variety of excellent shops and great coffee. Spence and Melba are not far, with Mamé café, in Melba court being a local favorite. The Belconnen precinct is close to hand, extending a plethora of entertainment and eating experiences. The home is also close to schools, the walking trails of Lower Molonglo Nature Reserve, playgrounds, Lake Ginninderra, AIS and the UC. It is a mere 18 minutes to the CBD by car.
