8 Dugdale Street, Cook, ACT 2614

Glass bricks capture the sunlight, softly illuminating the dining space and double glazed timber sliders open wide to embrace nature. Thor's Hammer brush box floors flow golden beneath the central skylight and all around there is the feeling of eco luxury.

Welcome to life at 8 Dugdale- modernist, elegant, brimming with organic texture and tone. Renovated for modern, family life, this gorgeous three-bedder retains a wonderful mid-century modern vibe, delivering on space, character, light and forging a wonderful connection to the outdoors.

This villa enjoys a separate title and sits behind pretty native gardens. Dugdale is a quiet street, informed by the never-ending Mt Painter Reserve yet handy to bohemian cafés and shops. The home celebrates this city meets bush vibe, spilling to the north where layered decking blurs with the garden. It really is a place of refuge and a wonderful escape from the nearby hustle and bustle. 

We love the simplicity of the central hub, where cooking, eating and living is arranged in the sunlight, with a sense of atmospheric space. Imagine a feeling of calm informed by the changing natural rhythms and seasons. Timber floors stretch to meet crisp white walls and artworks, chosen furniture pieces, are enlivened by a blessing of light. 

The kitchen is the kind of place you want to hang out in the benches are also Thor's Hammer brush box with a big window, and calming sage green splash back. A central island is a great spot for gathering and sharing and there are quality all-electric appliances, including a dishwasher and a Bosch induction stove.

Two of the bedrooms have built-in robes and the third lends itself to creativity - home office, art hub, yoga space. A beautiful family bathroom is finished with minimalist grace- white-on-white, deep relaxing tub and a stone-topped vanity. And there is also the convenience of an internal laundry with an additional separate toilet.

Cook is a wonderful place to live, boasting thriving community gardens, parkland, Mt Painter reserve, walking and biking trails and just 8 minutes' drive to the Arboretum. The home is walking distance to Jamison Plaza and close to the Belconnen precinct. The local shops are home to the popular cafés - Little Oink and To All My Friends. Aranda shops are close by, with the famous, Two Before Ten, coffee shop, a popular gathering spot on Saturday mornings. The home is also close to transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the UC. And only ten minute's drive to the CBD and the ANU.
