7/2 Playfair Place, Belconnen, ACT 2617

This soothing two-bedder rests on a sleepy cul-de-sac that feels just as much informed by a bushland tranquillity as dynamic urban edge. Organic swells of natives soften granite pathways and large eucalypts lend their sculptural, shady forms to the modernist array – raw brick, sloped terracotta rooftops and jutting balconies. The home has been thoughtfully renovated, ushering in a modern Scandi vibe that embraces a timeless combo of simple lines, white on white and natural timber.

This leafy little enclave within central Belconnen is surrounded by inter-linking green by-ways connecting to the expansive fields of Belconnen Oval. It is a coveted locale, peaceful and dappled, yet within walking distance of a myriad of enticing eating, drinking and shopping experiences. Stroll to Emu Bank and the lake foreshore, walk to the Fresh Food Markets or take a short trip down arterial roads to the dynamic inner-north and the CBD.

We love the white-washed brick walls, the golden timber flooring merging to soft carpets and the essential spill to large and deeply private courtyard garden. Living is arranged in a conversational open plan with a large kitchen at one end, all banks of crisp white cabinetry, floating island and timber worktops. The whole social domain bathed in glorious light, informed by nature and easily accommodating formal dining with comfy couch side living. There is a wonderful continuous connection with the outdoors, the paved courtyard with its high fence lines and overhang of green trees, perfect for entertaining or quiet days to self, enjoying the restorative peace of nature bathing.

There are two welcoming bedrooms, both with leafy views and built-in-robes for seamless storage. The family bathroom combined laundry is an elegant affair, finished in crisp whites, with muted floor tiling that evokes natural bush stone. The laundry is nicely integrated, seamlessly shuttered behind louvred concertina doors. Throw in dedicated garaged parking and wonderful shared gardens for gathering or simply being, and you have easy living.
