3 Mathieson Crescent, Weetangera, ACT 2614

This classic 70s home has been lovingly re-jigged while still retaining oodles of soulful charm. Walls have been removed to embrace space and light and there is a delightful drift to a secluded courtyard. Gentle tones and warm timbers harmonise, as big windows frame the gorgeous gardens. The dreamy bespoke kitchen floats in place, prioritising storage without skimping on style. The whole home reading like a secret haven, sitting low behind a stunning bank of plantings, extending to a magic rear garden with the added delight of a spacious garden studio.  
 
The flat roofed form is classic of the era and there is the lovely texture of rough troweled render. A long driveway ushers a double garage, while pedestrian access is via a garden gate that transports you to a green oasis – side lane teeming with flowering jasmine and to the right, alfresco dining enclosed by high garden walls. The ruby red front door is framed on one side by breeze blocks and surrounded by timber paneling.
 
Rich Spotted Gum hardwood floors stretch underfoot, extending to meet freshly painted, crisp white walls. There is a welcoming foyer that gives pause, allowing you to purvey the feast of gentle colour and texture that makes the vast open social space feel so welcoming. The L-shaped layout naturally delineates the dining and living spaces, while still delivering an airy open feel. Exposed rafters float overhead adding visual interest and depth, and there is the continuous warmth of timber joinery.
 
The large renovated kitchen champions daily family life and invites with its soft blue cabinetry, rounded timber pulls. The splashback is all modern kit-kat tiling and stone worktops keep things practical and timeless. Banks of soft close drawers, double pantries and timber open shelves, create a home for everything. There is a floating island for everyone to gather around and excellent appliances from Bosch and Miele.
 
A slender hallway separates living from sleeping, connecting to four peaceful rooms, all with signature floor-up timber windows that overlook stunning gardens.  The master bedroom cocoons with its charcoal-blue walls; and there is ample storage and the convenience of an ensuite bathroom. While, both additional bedrooms have built-in-robes. The fourth bedroom is an ideal home office with its two-way access and custom cabinetry. The modernised family bathroom has a relaxing tub and notes of blue-grey delivering an elegant stylistic cohesion.
 
Immaculate Tiftuf Bermuda grass, shady established trees and Spring riots of colour make the rear garden a delight. The studio features glass sliders that can be flung open to breezes and relaxation on the long front veranda. This gentle space delivers a large storage cupboard, ensuite and endless versatility. Think teen retreat, creative hub, yoga room, spill over guest accommodation or expansive home office with direct access from the street.
 
Weetangera is warmly known as the 'forever 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 dining and shopping destinations
