37 Connelly Place, Belconnen, ACT 2617

This joyful and impeccably renovated two-bedroom home is located within the vibrant Belconnen precinct and delights with its fresh, modern aesthetic. The palette is light and soothing, with warm timber hues and striking use of matt black. Large glazing perfectly frames the private courtyards that bookend the home. And it is oh so perfectly placed, moments from Belconnen central, handy to Lake Ginninderra, surrounded by green tranquillity.

The home is set within a small enclave of neat town houses, a private oasis really, buffeted by circling reserve and its position deep within a quiet cul-de-sac.
A private driveway ushers to carport with a roller door and ample built-in-storage. Neat steppers welcome past green lawns as high garden fences privatise and enclose. There is the cheer of a bright blue door and long timber patio, perfect for relaxing alfresco. 

We love the perfectly curated foyer, its floating shelf and artful timber screen that ushers in warm texture from the get-go. Easy care ceramic flooring flows underfoot and walls are painted in a gentle combo of white and soft dove grey. Gorgeous organic rattan pendant lights throw fans of shadow play across the ceilings and timber venetians screen the soft garden light. The large front living area is graced by epic windows and a very private outlook across the front courtyard. 

An open and airy kitchen and dining area draws in light from the north and opens onto a large rear courtyard that backs reserve. The kitchen is smartly finished in white and black and delivers a country provincial vibe. A long peninsula invites relaxed togetherness, creating an open and convivial space where conversations flow easily between the kitchen and the dinner table. A trio of glass pendants illuminate the timber-like worktops and there is all electric cooking from Westinghouse and a dishwasher from Omega.

The master bedroom is nicely sequestered at the front of the home, captures afternoon light and has direct access to the central Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The second bedroom is graced by northern light and both bedrooms have excellent built-in-storage. The bathroom has a new vanity, matt black fixtures and a relaxing bathtub. A European laundry with a dryer is seamlessly incorporated and has been concordantly re-jigged to include lots of warm timber shelving and modern black highlights.

Underpinning it is a lifestyle that combines the best of two worlds – relaxed nature bathing and wonderful urban offerings. Every weekend a coffee van visits the green commons behind the home and there is a nice gathering of regulars. Pathways connect to nearby parks, ovals and reserve. It is an easy stroll to the restaurants of Emu Bank and not far to Westfield and The Fresh Food Markets. The whole dynamic Belconnen precinct, extending a choice of cafes, bars, waterfront pubs and restaurants. Local Favourites include Delhi to Canberra, for great Indian food and The Lighthouse, for a cool beer on a hot day, right on the water's edge. Or head to the nearby Jamison centre for health foods and essentials, saunter to the famous Aranda shops for great coffee. There is transport nearby and a variety of schools close to hand, it is an easy drive to the UC, Bruce Stadium, AIS, and a mere 10 minutes to the CBD.
