Home of the week: Evatt home offers contemporary living in established suburb

A new home in an established suburb doesn’t come along often, and this one is sure to be snapped up fast.

So, now that chequebooks are at the ready and bank loans are sorted, listen up. Just two years old, 58 McClure Street in Evatt is a contemporary offering featuring the latest colour palettes and features.

The fluid floor plan and neat design take maximum advantage of this triangular block.

The high ceilings make for a lovely atmosphere, with the living room greeting you as you enter.

This relaxing space is pleasantly separated from the rest of the living areas, with the open-plan kitchen, dining and family areas off the entryway.

The kitchen offers plenty of storage space, high-quality appliances and a stunning glass splashback setting off the white stone benchtops. The design makes it easy to cater to, and entertain, friends simultaneously.

The downstairs toilet is in the laundry, which saves guests heading into the upper level, where there are three bedrooms and the main bathroom.

The master bedroom is well proportioned, with an en suite and a luxurious shower to wash away the stresses of the day. The main bathroom offers plenty of space with contemporary large, bone-coloured tiles floor to ceiling.

The second bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the backyard’s low-maintenance lawn and shrubbery. This room could also work as a study, library or recreation room.

Selling agent Tim McInnes, of Lutons Belconnen, says the home is great for investors and young professionals alike. “It features its own driveway and doesn’t have a body corporate.”

McInnes says this is one of the best blocks in the best areas around. “The home is moments from the local shops, while the three primary schools are a major drawcard and the proximity to Belconnen and access to Lake Ginninderra is well received by buyers.”
