23 McLachlan Crescent, Weetangera, ACT 2614

Celebrating the warm tones of timber earth, this airy home is not short on space, both inside and out. Resting behind manicured gardens on the elevated side of a prestigious loop street, this stunning four-bedder delivers quite the graceful lived experience, with its soaring ceiling heights and multiple social spaces for work, rest and play.
 
Nick-named the 'forever suburb' –  think meandering avenues, tightly held homes, lush gardens merging with gums, nature reserves and blue sky – Weetangera is synonymous with laid back Australian life. McLachlan Crescent sits in-between Mowle Park and The Pinnacle Nature Reserve, gifting a lovely surrounding of green, with ample walking trails and dollops of bushland peace. 

The home announces its grand vision from the get-go - tumbled double brick, and a mix of peaked rooflines and deep eaves with classic European style exposed beams. There is a sheltering of established trees, beautiful plantings, and the home is set-back behind soft front lawns. A duo of driveways usher to both double garage and gated parking while pedestrian entry is curated - across the bridge spanning the large pond, onto a long front veranda.
 
Each space – foyer, home office, living area, formal dining room, kitchen and combined meals – feels considered and oh so generous. The office is lined with cabinetry and warmed by a rich timber floating desk, perfectly set beneath the window. The living room's vast windows frame the magnificent gardens and are hung with lined drapes, delicately patterned with hydrangeas. The dining area captures the silver regality of an enormous gum tree and the adjacent kitchen's use of timber tones, welcomes nature within.
 
Think family rituals, grand celebrations, and intimate gatherings. Think memory making with room to escape, rest and restore. From the kitchen's expansive worktops, central island, beautifully finished cabinetry to the curated rear grounds, sunny alfresco stage, this house has each and any occasion covered. 

We love the sunny family meals area, its open conversation with the kitchen and the kitchen's robust and beautiful functionality.  There are quality appliances, a ton of storage and ample space for everyone. The large living space feels dreamy and relaxed and flows effortlessly to the formal dining area, big enough for a large table beneath the epic window.
 
There are four peaceful bedrooms, all with excellent built-in-storage and perfect garden vistas. The master has an ensuite bathroom and there is a large family bathroom with a tub and a separate powder room. Both bathrooms are finished in a combo of crisp white and soft neutrals, very much in-sync with the gentle, creamy palette of the entire home. Topping it all, is the separate studio/rumpus room sequestered to the rear of the garage and opening directly onto the garden. This duo of spaces has a private bathroom and delivers wonderful versatility  – studio or office, guest accommodation or teen retreat.
 
Weetangera is a much coveted, leafy suburb, known for its quiet, family lifestyle – nearby parks, oval, fabulous local shops, and inviting walking/biking trails through Pinnacle nature reserve and Mount Painter. The home is whisper close to Belconnen town Centre and the newly refurbed Capital Food Markets – exciting European style, with a plethora of dinning and shopping destinations. The home is also close to transport, public and private schools, the Canberra University, AIS and 11.7kms to the CBD and the ANU.
