3 Mollison Street, Scullin, ACT 2614

Re-imagined as a haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life, this peaceful, north-facing home is alive with a sense of place. The simple form has been enveloped in a duo of decks punctuated by French doors, opening onto a sunken dual zone swim spa and private, soothing gardens. The light-filled interior, which connects seamlessly to the surrounding landscaping, has been designed to maximise both space and sustainability.  Its organic materiality and splashes of soft colour are perfectly in-sync with nature.

Attention to detail and quality sustainable upgrades have created a home that is both cocooning and open. Bathed in sunshine and texture, the home's airy vibe is amplified by its inside-out approach. The locale is also perfection…surrounded by a myriad of green spaces, just a short stroll to the newly enlivened Scullin shops and moments from the conveniences of the Belconnen town centre. 

A long driveway, shaded by an industrial sun sail, ushers visitors to a gated carport. You can choose to ascend the timber steps or take the slate paving into a private, year-round outdoor retreat.  Either way, it is quite the entry sequence – with pink flowering crepe myrtle, pondless water fountain, and myriad beautiful plantings greeting you every time you arrive home. 

The northern deck is a playground for both kids and adults; home to the triple jet driven heated swim spa, and colourful over-sized paper clips performing as hooks for towels and swimmers.

Inside, the foyer is given over to cabinetry and fun Muuto dot hooks, creating a practical mudroom with plenty of storage. It is the perfect segue into the joyful surprise of the open living, dining and kitchen. Hickory floors anchor the home, and warm, and white walls embrace the northern daylight, even before the double doors are flung open to embrace the decks and low-maintenance, high impact garden. The soothing effect makes you want to relax into daily rituals, entertain or carve out quiet times to embrace the finessed finishes and immerse yourself in the leafy tranquillity. 

In the kitchen, soft white combines with a splash of garden-borrowed, Eucalypt green. We love the subtle texture of the v-groove kitchen cabinetry, matched perfectly with the oversized half-moon handles. You'll also appreciate the clever way the full-size pantry screens the living area. Warm timber worktops, crisp subway tiling, quality appliances and a bespoke seating bench, complete the custom, luxe vibe. Think curated moments…relaxing and admiring the roses, first morning coffees beneath the twinkle of the silver birches, or gin & tonic afternoons with the kids splashing and playing in the pool. 

All three bedrooms read like inner sanctums, with cooling ceiling fans, insulating honeycomb blinds, and double-glazed windows that perfectly frame the surrounding nature. The master is informed by cascading northern light and the silvery notes of clustered birches. There is seamless storage for all, with each built in robe featuring round oak handles.

In the wet areas, classic black and white is given a modern makeover, as mosaic floors meet darkly grouted, vertical subway tiles, dotted with chic black fixtures. The family bathroom with tub, both creative and charming, perfectly matches the adjacent laundry. Just outside, a serene outdoor room is kitted out for all seasons – insulated ceilings, hanging fan and heaters, plus café blinds to shelter and protect from the elements. 

Stroll to Sweet Bones Bakery and Café for a great coffee, delectable cinabons and delicious eats. There is a decided buzz at the local shops…colourful new murals adorn once blank walls; Change Wellness is bringing people together for yoga classes and Muku Ramen Bar is serving up traditional Ramen and vegan dishes. And don't forget the old favourite, Another Chance Op Shop for great vintage shopping.
