18 Milari Street, Ngunnawal, ACT 2913

A stunning renovation has combined with grand proportions and an array of flexible spaces, to create an enduring home, easily accommodating the ever-changing demands and moods of the modern family. Yet there is also a cosy, earthy feeling that speaks of warm times together, treasured memories and the joy of living connected to nature. 

This tranquil five-bedroom hideaway is secretly placed, at the end of a long driveway, lined with the red hot poker flowers. The vibrant red and orange blooms setting the scene, announcing the home to come - filled with warmth, blessed by sunshine, enveloped in gorgeous established gardens, with multiple and immersive alfresco stages.

Rich colour, textured papered walls and decorative flourishes elevate milari.home, creating a comforting and contemporary vibe with a considered cohesion. Spacious social arenas unfold from one to another, all warmed by a drenching of north-eastern sunshine that cheers the soul. 

The form is all tumbled brick in a light sandy hue, with a pitched terracotta roof. There is an oversized double garage with auto-door and an additional off-street parking bay. An ornate portico shelters the entryway, its blue trim matching the striking blue front door with sidelight. 

There is a feeling of being wrapped in light as window after window captures leafy garden views. Bamboo flooring stretching golden underfoot, offset by creamy neutral walls and bright feature walls. Think hanging by the glittering bio-ethanol fireplace, its silver shimmer matching the twin pendants that illuminate the blue papered backdrop. Or gathering within the sunny rumpus that reads like a garden room, with its array of windows that frame all the colours and textures of a myriad of beautiful plantings. Perhaps entertaining within the open kitchen, dining…spilling to patio for alfresco drinks beside the spa bath.

We love the mix of prints and colours that decorate all five bedrooms. The master bedroom, privately sequestered to the front, complete with walk-in-robe and ensuite. Four additional bedrooms, all with their own privacy, storage and leafy outlooks, centre around a family bathroom with relaxing tub. There is also a beautiful laundry with stunning mosaic splashback in sky-blue, connecting straight to the garden.

The kitchen has a tonne of storage, including a wall of full-height cabinets and an elegant butler's pantry, with splashback in another note of pretty blue. A central island/breakfast bar is a relaxing spot to gather and there is the perfect open sociability, so conversations can flow from the dining table. Glass doors can be flung open to the deck and gardens, where terraced moments entice, including a firepit nook and elevated gazebo alongside a pizza oven. Strappy grasses spill and crowd granite and stone pathways, wending their way through well-established plants and trees. The southern deck housing the perfect home gym beneath its sheltering roof, as raised vegetable beds gift healthy kitchen bounties.

Milari is a quiet street that rises above Ginninderra Creek, Yerrabi and Gungahlin Pond. This elevated enclave takes in epic views of the surrounding mountains. Quiet and secluded this suburban pocket connects to parklands and the never ending green trails that hug the creek, ultimately connecting to Mulangarri Grasslands and Percy Hill Nature Reserve. 

The home is handy to both Casey and Ngunnawal shops and F45 Ngunnawal. The town centres of Gungahlin and Belconnen are just minutes away, connecting you to a myriad of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. There are plenty of good schools at hand and the home is a mere 20 minutes to the CBD by car.
