This welcoming renovated seperate title townhouse has family flexibility in mind, with its three peaceful bedrooms and the addition of a second living area that doubles down as a rumpus, teen hang or perfect home office, with direct access from both the front and back of the home. Multiple social spaces drift to outdoors where alfresco living is set within sunny and easy-care gardens, and the home's fresh airy vibe and calming neutral materiality mean you can move straight in and curate your sanctuary.

Scullin is the kind of leafy suburb, where kids ride bikes on quiet streets and families stroll to nearby parks, whisper quiet yet super close to the dynamic Belconnen shopping and entertainment precinct, handy to the CBD, the locale is in high demand. Barlow is a quite loop street, surrounded by green spaces, just moments from Scullin Oval, Pre-school and Southern Cross Early Childhood School.

Sitting low within the site, the home is screened by a hedge of pink flowering oleanders that give way to a swell of green lawn. An array of beautiful plantings shine in the sunlight and a broad patio extends across the full length of the home. On one side there is a private driveway, ushering to a shady carport.

?

We love the preserved vintage mosaic tiling that graces the foyer, celebrating the artful combo of old and new. A broad hallway welcoming to the airy front living combined dining room that is filled with the light and colours of the garden. Glass sliders extend the lived experience to the outdoors, gifting plenty of room to move, play and entertain. Think relaxed dinner parties, cosy movie nights, long lunches beneath the pergola amidst the healing peace of the garden.

?

The gorgeous new kitchen is light filled and serene, with a large window that frames a neighbouring, magnificent pink flowering crepe myrtle. It has the perfect array of white cabinetry, warm timber worktops and organic patterned floor tiling. A pop of eucalypt green brings a little bit of the Canberra bush inside and a large window perfectly frames the landscape. The whole plan open to the front living and dining area, so friends and family can float between the different zones.

?

Sitting behind the kitchen is a generous laundry with handy access to the rear courtyard garden, clothesline and vegetable garden, for that plate to table experience. This generous space doubles down on storage and is stylishly renovated in the same minimalist material palette as the kitchen.

?

Sequestered on the opposing side of the home is a large garage conversion that serves up a multi-use family space ? teen retreat, rumpus room, elegant parental retreat, studio or dedicated home office?the choice is yours. Sliders open the space to light and gift direct street access and there is also a door that opens onto the leafy back yard.

?

The master bedroom has a wall of mirrored built-in-robes for seamless storage and looks onto pretty oleander trees. The second bedroom also captures leafy views and both bedrooms sit across from a family bathroom with a relaxing bathtub. At the front of the home there is a third bedroom with excellent built-in-storage. This private space would make an ideal home office with its large window, connecting to the garden and the comings and goings of the street.

?

It is not far to Sweet Bones Bakery and Caf? for a great coffee and delicious eats. There is a decided buzz at the local shops?colourful new murals adorn once blank walls; Change Wellness is bringing people together for yoga classes and Muku Ramen Bar is serving up scrummy vegan dishes. And not to forget old favourite, Another Chance Op Shop for great vintage shopping.
