6/12 Hartley Street, Turner, ACT 2612

Light reaches deep within, as glass sliders and clerestory glazing welcome sunlight and aspect. The social hub arranged in an open plan as dark timber floors meet crisp white walls. This graceful three bedroom home ushers in an effortless luxe, as inner city living meets a nostalgic suburban peace, right in the heart of the vibrant inner north. 

Chinese elms caste a mosaic of shade across deep verges, Hartley Street lined with elegant new builds and a scattering of heritage homes. Resting across from Turner Primary and moments from Sullivans Creek and Haig Park, the home is surrounded by green spaces, enveloped in peace. Yet this wonderful locale places you within easy reach of the eateries within O'Connor village, and moments from the dynamic Braddon precinct and the CBD.

The sophisticated Highbury Development pays homage to the classic terrace house with a modern twist as raw brick combines with a palette of soft greys. The home sits back behind a fenced courtyard, enclosed by green walls. You can sit within the alfresco, purveying the green lawn, the autumnal turnings of the trees, the comings and goings of the street in peaceful privacy.

There is a lovely refinement at work, a minimalist design, think billowing sheers, brass pendants, banks of crisp white cabinetry that gleam in the soft light. Waterfall stone benchtops grace the kitchen, as the walk-in-pantry and quality appliances up the ante. 

Beyond the kitchen there is a generous powder room combined laundry. And just next door, a generous bedroom or perhaps office space that spills to a perfectly curated rear courtyard. One imagines the gentle first morning light, an easy drift to garden, coffee in hand. Or come the weekend, happy gatherings with family and friends, soaking up the perfect amount of warming sun beneath the louvred pergola. 

Upstairs is given over to two additional bedrooms and an opulent central bathroom with a stunning freestanding tub. To the east, a sequestered bedroom with built-in-robe, captures views to Mount Ainslie. While, the master is privately placed to the west, with a large picture window that frames the surrounding landscape. There is an office nook alongside a ribbon window so you can work among the trees and a built-in-robe for seamless storage. The ensuite bathroom doesn't shy away from luxury, with its duo of wall hung timber vanities and generous shower. 

Your life in Turner –

Leafy and quiet streets to explore, eyeing the many fabulous established homes and gardens, strolls in Haig Park beneath the shady pines or exploring the many biking and walking trails in O'Connor Ridge and Lake Burly Griffin.

Eating, shopping, experiencing the many independent businesses seeded within the inner-north and the CBD. Walk to Lonsdale Street, perusing the shops, grabbing a coffee or a local wine from Black Hearts and Sparrows or dine at any one of the wonderful eateries. O'Connor shops are close by for bowls, hilarity and drinks with friends at The Ruc and a relaxed lunch at The Duxton. Explore the international cuisine of the famous Dickson precinct and perhaps a long brunch alfresco, at the iconic Tilley's. 

Ditching the car and biking or walking to the CBD or New Acton. Jumping on the light rail and connecting with the metro city station, linking you to the whole of Canberra.
