Chronicle Home of the Week: Big, bold and beautiful in Nicholls

Only a short stroll to the Gungahlin Pond nature reserve, the home sits on a large block of 821 square metres.

Greeted by effortlessly manicured gardens that direct visitors down a path that leads the front porch, the home’s street presence is enhanced by the contrasting dark tiles and light render.

Guests and family alike can easily be entertained with the variety of formal and informal spaces sprawled over two levels. 

Most of the activity is found in the open plan family area, set to the centre of the home drenched in natural light. 

A corner kitchen with a breakfast bar, updated appliances, walk-in pantry and ample bench space overlooks the bay-window meals and family space. 

The space opens out through sliding doors to an undercover alfresco area, which looks out to the terrace gardens and paved courtyard space.

Sharing access to the patio is the formal dining that flows to a grand lounge to the front with street views. 

One of the five bedrooms, which could also be used as a study, is on the ground floor, as are a laundry with outdoor access, bathroom, and storage space.

The upper level hosts a luxury oversized master suite: to one side of the bedroom with a walk-in robe, a bay-window retreat offers commanding views of the rear garden, to the other a spacious dressing leading to an ensuite with spa bath.

The additional three bedrooms upstairs include built-in wardrobes and are serviced by a the main bathroom.

The front garden 'AstroTurf' means that no lawn mower is needed, while a spacious double garage or the driveway can host the family cars.

Located within close proximity to walking tracks, public transport, schools, and shops, other features include gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling, gas hot water system, a variety of fruit trees and a cubby house.

The property at 30 Westbury Street in Nicholls will be auctioned on Saturday, September 30 at 10am on site. Price Guide: $900,000+.
