42 Chuculba Crescent, Giralang, ACT 2617

Wonderful family home!

Imbued with the love of home and family, this gorgeous four-bedroom ensuite home feels warm and inviting. Carefully tended and thoughtfully extended over the years, the home has been tightly held by its original owners. It really is the kind of home you grow old in, creating memories, coming together, celebrating milestones, resting and restoring within its serene, warm enclosure.

Chuculba is a broad street, bordered by a green space dotted with magnificent old growth pine trees. The home rests within its leafy enclave, barely visible from the street. Mature trees shelter and shade as a private driveway welcomes to two separate carports. A pathway leads past a mix of lush plantings to the private, sheltered front porch. There is a coach light and a warm timber door that opens onto a wide foyer with a cupboard for winter coats and woollies.

Over the years the home has grown to meet the changing needs of the family and now extends a layering of social spaces with special nooks for quiet retreat. There is a lovely, combined family/dining room, ideally placed on the northern side, with golden timber floors and warming gas fireplace. There is an adjacent office with timber joinery and a direct flow to the bright modern kitchen with its banks of thoughtful storage. The modern kitchens is generous in size and easily up to the task of catering for relaxed family meals and epic celebrations. Worktops and splashback are a continuous expanse of speckled stone, off-set by banks of cabinets and drawers in stark white. A lot of thought has gone into the storage solutions – full height pantry, ironing cupboard, lazy Susan corner cupboard, shuttered small appliance bay.

We love the curved arch that invites to the sunny front living area, with its large window that captures all the colours and textures of the pretty gardens. This is a quiet space, perfectly placed adjacent to the large master bedroom and ideal for a peaceful parental retreat. The master bedroom has a wall of built-in-robes and an elegant ensuite bathroom. In one corner large windows frame a quiet nook…think a comfy chair, great book and a green shielding of leafy trees.

There are three additional bedrooms, all with large windows that welcome light and aspect. Bedroom two has a built-in-robe and the third and fourth bedroom are a duo of co-joined rooms which could easily be used as one big space incorporating an office or private sitting area. This flexible arrangement is great for an older child, inter-generational living or guests. A large window frames views to the mountains within the third bedroom which has a lovely, elevated aspect and looks down onto the beautiful back gardens.

Just next door there is a family bathroom with a relaxing tub and the convenience of a separate toilet. Both bathrooms are finished in soothing neutrals with soft decorative flourishes. We love the Eucalyptus leaves that dot the border tiling within the family bathroom and the large vanity for seamless storage.
The home is enhanced by the close connection to the elevated deck that floats amidst the flowering camelias and dotting's of Japanese maples. Steps lead down to a swell of soft lawn intimately enclosed by tall green walls. There is a garden pergola large enough to host a table set for plenty, all informed by the tranquil peace of the gardens that also include home grown vegetables, lemon tree, rhododendrons and azaleas. 

Giralang is a small pocket of connected green spaces and shady rows of magnificent pine trees. Access to civic pathways that link green spaces and lead to both reserve and local shops, is a wonderful feature of the area. The home is a few steps from reserve and close to the local primary school, multiple parklands, Giralang and Kaleen shops. The new Giralang shops are currently under construction and will house a large IGA. Close to the Belconnen precinct, Lake Ginninderra, the UC, AIS and Canberra Stadium, whilst being within easy reach of the CBD.
