47 Bainton Crescent, Melba ACT 2615

Positioned in one of highest points in Belconnen, this spectacular home dramatically embraces sweeping panoramic views. Capturing the Belconnen city skyline, majestic mountains ranges and the soothing waters of Lake Ginninderra. The vast social space lovingly developed and tendered for 49 years by the original owners, both a celebration of grand proportions and a sanctuary, informed by light and landscape at every turn.

The architect Anna Pender has extended this four-bedroom family home to a glorious effect, creating a timeless haven, with that forever feel. It's the kind of home you feel proud to call your own, a place to grow old in, raising your family, gathering with friends to celebrate milestones, and creating memories

The gardens surround the home, with a cornucopia of mature trees, shading and softening, providing an abundance of colour and texture. To the rear, meandering paths lead you to various elements of the garden and create a magic leafy immersion for both children and adults alike.

There is the grand entryway a feast of texture, where rendered walls meet the warmth of silver top ash hard wood floors. Stairs usher upward to an abundance of light–to the heart of the home, all open plan, with soaring ceilings, striking architectural lines and epic windows.

A beautiful kitchen sits central, inviting with its curved Brazilian marble worktops and banks of white cabinetry, perfectly conversational with both dining and living. The whole space connecting with the landscape, spilling onto the elevated balcony to one side, and the warmer enclosure of the northern pavilion style sunroom to the rear. We love the sunken spa, the timber walls, cedar ceilings, and the curved sequence of windows that bring the magic of the endless park-like grounds within.

The hallway ushers to a generous master bedroom with stunning views, walk-thru-robe and ensuite. Two additional bedrooms, both with built-in-robes centre around a family bathroom with bathtub, completing the upstairs family wing. The ground floor is a subterranean retreat, housing a generous bedroom, third bathroom, laundry and enormous rumpus room. The whole home ideally designed to adapt to the changing needs of the family, with the ground floor arrangement offering an ideal guest accommodation or gifting much coveted privacy and independence for older children, or a perfect multigenerational solution.

The home is ideally placed on a quiet street, within walking distance to schools, parks and Mount Rogers Reserve. It is also handy to the fabulous Melba shops, with local favourite Café Mamé, famous for its delicious pastries and vegan options and Drunken Tiger. The bustling Belconnen precinct is moments away, connecting you to a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Handy to the UC, AIS, Lake Ginninderra, Bruce Stadium, it is also an easy drive to the CBD.
