3/17 Wimmera Street, Harrison, ACT 2914

location is the key!

This light filled one-bedder serves up a separate office and the distinction of a private garage with internal access. The home can also be entered street side, through a garden gate and generous courtyard edged with green walls. 

Located on the ground floor of the Niche development, the home sits across from Harrison Public School, parkland and playing fields, and is a handy to a myriad of walking paths that link to tranquil ponds and wetlands. It is a few steps to the shops and restaurants of the Harrison/Franklin shopping hub and the Nullarbor Avenue, light rail stop. It is also just moments to the thriving Gungahlin precinct and an easy commute to the buzzing inner-north and the CBD. 

We love the playful form that combines corrugated silver cladding, raw concrete punctuated with boxed balconies in pops of yellow and pink. To the rear, a laneway provides access to the single garage with auto-door, and there is a formal entryway and foyer, with a secure intercom. 

Living is open plan, with glass doors that welcome northern light providing a constant connection to nature. Sunlight stripes the bamboo floors and the easy drift to alfresco living lends a relaxed and open vibe. The kitchen is neatly arranged along the back wall, where banks of crisp white cabinetry provide a tonne of storage. There is a patterned tiled splashback in midnight black and quality appliances from Smeg, and a dishwasher from Bosch. A European laundry and an additional large storage cupboard are also seamlessly incorporated.

The bedroom is large and enjoys gorgeous light via a big north facing window. There is a wall of mirrored robes and direct access to a jack and jill bathroom. The bathroom is all sooting whites, punctuated with a simple strip of Moroccan patterned tiling, that catches the eye. There is a large vanity for ample storage and a generous shower space. Double doors lend the separate office an airy open feel, extending the spatiality of the home providing the perfect spot for working and creating.

The courtyard garden is easy-care, laid with concrete and synthetic grass and edged with mature hedges for that sense of enclosure. Part sheltered and open, it is the perfect niche for hanging with friends or for quiet repose…with that enviable ease of movement from inside to out. A gate gifts access to Flemington Road, so you can stroll to Woolies for essentials, great coffee or a relaxed meal at your favourite local.
