5 Mersey Place, Kaleen, ACT 2617

Resort style living in the heart of Kaleen!

A Hamptons inspired palette ushers in a touch of the sea, bringing a relaxed holiday vibe to this beautifully renovated three-bedroom ensuite home in Kaleen.

Delightful sunlit spaces unfold with grace, culminating in the ultimate alfresco lifestyle, complete with a sparkling inground pool. Outdoor structures lend an enviable Aussie relaxed mix and a man cave opens to the sunny pergola. A shady cabana is perfect for hanging poolside, think sun warmed and happy times with a bevvie of choice in hand. 

Resting on a quiet cul-de-sac this lovely home, sits long and low, sheltered by established gardens and a wisteria twined veranda. A wide driveway is shaded by a roomy carport that easily accommodates several vehicles. Beyond there is a double enclosed carport, lined with its double-sided roller doors opening to air and the landscape.

Channelling that laid-back summer house vibe, the interiors are elegantly white washed, inspired by cool seas and barefoot shell collecting. Perfectly curated social spaces unfold to each other, as large double-glazed windows capture the leafy garden surrounds. Plantation shutters filter the sunshine and blackbutt timber floors shine underfoot. We love the built-in-cabinetry that spans the entire wall in the front living room and the welcoming dining space, with bespoke bar and niches for display. The whole house teeming with extra storage, keeping things effortlessly minimal, gorgeously subtle.

A sparkling central galley kitchen is a study in white, as banks of cabinetry meet stone worktops, while an elegant splash back introducers a chime of silver. A full size pantry, endless cabinets and a coffee bar add to the fuss free amenity. A European laundry is seamlessly incorporated at one end, as a door spills to the entertaining arena outside.

The sunny second living room is a space of light and love, encircled by epic windows that overlook the green walls of the gardens. Open to the change of seasons yet comfortably private and cosy, the space is primed for both connection and relaxed repose, all year round. It is easy to imagine creating memories here, gathering with family and friends, with a seamless connection to the outdoors and the bonus of a servery window making life easy. 

The master bedroom sits quietly at the front of the home with a large window framing the colours of the garden. There is a wall of built-in-robes and an elegant ensuite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms centre around a family bathroom and bedroom two has glass sliders that open onto a private area. The bathroom is flooded with natural light and has a relaxing corner spa bath and rain shower.

The home is further distinguished by its separate studio which is privately accessed by a gated pathway. Set deep in the garden and sheltered by a pergola and climbing vines, this spacious free-standing addition has been home to a thriving hair salon. It could easily be converted to a self-contained flat and already has a separate powder room and duo of large spaces that open onto the sheltered outdoor room that takes in the blue waters of the pool. 

The home is ideally placed at the end of a no-through road, close to the Darby Street Playground and the green byways that connect to Ginninderra Creek and Gungaderra Grasslands Reserve. The home is also handy to transport, a great choice of schools, the University of Canberra, CIT, AIS and Canberra Stadium. It is not far to Kaleen Plaza, and just a short 10-minute drive to the Belconnen Town Centre and within easy reach of the CBD.
