This elevated property in sought after “old Weston” combines space, warmth and  enviable views. 

Floor-to-ceiling timber in the entry and front living area creates a “cabin in the woods” feel, enhanced by a backdrop of trees and distant mountain views.

Elegant, wooden  french doors open onto a covered slate balcony overlooking the suburb.

The rest of the house drops back to a more neutral  palette with touches of wood throughout, including Tasmanian oak timber floors in the living areas and wooden window frames.

The kitchen was renovated 12 months ago and includes  Caesarstone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, a glass splashback and Aventos electronic-opening doors across the top cupboards.

It overlooks a spacious, natural light-filled family room featuring plenty of glass fitted with waffle-style blinds.

Upstairs, large windows in the third living area capture lovely views of the Brindabellas.

This room would work well as a parents’ retreat, with a kitchenette hidden behind cupboard doors and the large, segregated master suite  next door.

Three more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are  on the main floor, two with their own en suites.

Nearby, the main bathroom features classic black and white tiling with a shower, bath and a separate toilet. Old fashioned-style tapwear retains an old-worldly feel.

A second set of stairs leads to the double garage, a large storage area and a second, tiled storeroom which has been used as a gym.

Outside, the backyard’s centrepiece is a solar-heated saltwater swimming pool, with a covered alfresco area nearby.

Stairs lead to the backyard’s top tier, a grassed area surrounded by easy-care, established garden and a covered spa bath.

Other features include ducted gas heating, ducted evaporative-cooling, reverse-cycle  airconditioning, two large water tanks and a watering system.

Number 53 is  close to Cooleman Court, the Tuggeranong Parkway, Hindmarsh Drive and Woden Town Centre.
