16 Propsting Street, Curtin, ACT 2605

Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac and set back on a huge 1,094sqm block in an RZ2 zone a hair's breadth from local shops, this enchanting 5-bedroom split-level home fuses modern amenity with characterful luxury.

Cedar-framed windows and French doors combine with timber flooring to bring a honeyed glow throughout while a custom Jetmaster fireplace centre with bluestone hearth and Jarrah surround is the hero feature of a north-facing family room overlooking a most delightful garden setting.

It's likely here that friends and family will gather, enjoying easy, circular access to a side terrace and to a huge, tiered Merbau deck at the rear where inset lighting provides a festive atmosphere for parties and family occasions.

Feature walls of Wee Jasper stone surround the deck, offering a focal point in the established gardens enveloping the home and which provide lush verdant scenery from every interior window.

The kitchen – designed by Melbourne kitchen specialist Bruce Goode – rewards with an easterly aspect that floods the room with morning light and bounces off Italian porcelain floor tiles and generous neutral stone benchtops, creating an inviting warmth. The open lounge and dining space to the front of the home also benefits from French doors which open to a tranquil front terrace.

Five well-proportioned bedrooms include one currently in use as a light-filled art studio but could easily be adapted and used as a beautiful home office.

Walk out your door here and in seconds you can be meandering through lovely green spaces that allow you to walk for kilometres without crossing a road. Stroll to Curtin Ridge for views of the Brindabellas or walk the banks of Yarralumla Creek.

It's just a five-minute walk to a gym, bus stop, a pub, cafes, childcare and medical centres. Curtin Primary School can be reached in 10 minutes and it's just a 10-minute drive to the Woden Town Centre.
