Home Sweet Home
Buyers price guide: From $1,900,000Located in a quiet, friendly, and beautiful tree lined street in Canberra's sought after Inner North, this home is a short stroll to the Dickson wetlands and playing fields as well as to the popular restaurant and shopping precent and the light rail into town. Surrounded by a wide range of public and private schools is this modern, family friendly home.
When you walk into 5 Kernot Street, you're welcomed by luxury bamboo flooring, high ceilings, and light, bright interiors that immediately impress. This two-level contemporary abode with main bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs is designed to suit the modern and growing family who won't sacrifice luxury for practicality.
Downstairs boasts two expansive living areas conveniently positioned away from each other to maximise the feeling of space and privacy. The front living area off the entry foyer acts as a parents' retreat after a long day with sliding doors separating the front area from the rest of the house. Further inside you'll find the open-plan family, dining, and kitchen zone with double door access to
the covered alfresco entertaining space, deck and garden. You can't go past the gourmet kitchen with its crisp white palette, large island bench, butler's pantry and feature glass splashback which draws the outside in.
You'll be pleasantly surprised to uncover two main bedroom options, one downstairs and one on the upper floor with a leafy street below, very convenient for a family with teenagers or live-in grandparents. There's also the option of turning the oversized, bedroom 2 into a rumpus room thanks to its generous proportions. Every bedroom is spacious enough to include a bed plus a desk
so everyone can have their own space to work, rest and play with plenty of windows for cross flow ventilation and light.
This home has so many welcoming and practical spaces both internally and externally that you won't know where your various family members might be hiding out. Whether it be relaxing outside on the spacious deck by the citrus trees, having a cup of coffee on the upstairs balcony admiring Mt Majura
or reading a book while taking in the morning sun from the front living area. This home is truly one of a kind.
