15 Ligertwood Street, Evatt, ACT 2617

This welcoming three-bedder has a delightful gentle air and easy spill to a layering of alfresco spaces. A beautiful renovation has created a family friendly home with thoughtful sustainable upgrades and enough space for all occasions and moods. Wonderfully private and immersed within curated gardens, this sweet entertainer is neat as a pin, easy-care and unfolds with a natural generosity.
 
Ligertwood is a ranging loop street that curves to meet Evatt Oval, Cricket Nets and Playground. Eucalypts shade the footpaths and well-kept gardens soften a mix of mid-century villas and larger, sprawling family homes. Suburban bliss really! Think kids roaming a surrounding of inter-linking green commons, easy access to Ginninderra Creek and the endless feel of nearby nature reserves. It is not far to a mix of great schools and a short stroll to the fab local shops, famed for Herbert's at Evatt for local wine and craft beer.
 
no. 15 sits proud amidst a row of similar builds – pitched roof, large windows, clean lines and a simple light brick grace. The home is nestled low behind layered gardens and swell of lawn. A driveway ushers to a single garage and there is an additional, dedicated parking bay. We love the entryway; the flowing garden beds and selection of beautiful plantings…bulbs just now showing their cheerful yellow faces.
 
Within, new Coastal Black Butt timber floors float underfoot introducing a note of light oak, coalescing with the soothing neutral palette, the occasional gesture of pink. The foyer announces a warm decal welcome, and has a coat cupboard, perfect for removing and forgetting the shackles of the day. The adjacent front living room is a true sanctuary – elegant, light filled and informed by curated landscape.
 
The family hub is fresh and airy, easily accommodating a large kitchen, dining and living area, all drifting to an alfresco deck. From here you can step down to a long courtyard with a sheltering pitched pergola, ceiling fans and the warm enclosure of brick walls. With so many all season, entertaining spaces it is lucky the kitchen is large and well-equipped. The worktops swirl with granite inspired pink/grey hues and meet a tiled splash back with a dotting of perfectly matching floral feature tiles. There is a freestanding electric oven from Westinghouse and a dishwasher from Bosch.
 
Two peaceful bedrooms are nicely sequestered at the end of the home and centre around a family bathroom – bathtub, warm terracotta floor tiles, crisp whites. Both bedrooms have built-in-robes and large windows that look into the leafy courtyard. Hidden away at the front of the home is a third bedroom with a big window that overlooks the cascading front gardens.
 
There is enough space outdoors for both alfresco dining and lounging, with a choice of sheltered spaces giving way to a neat garden with soft lawns and vegetable beds, mature deciduous trees. There is a gate that opens directly onto a green laneway, connecting you to the nearby ovals and parklands.

Evatt is a tranquil suburb, famous for its lovely country vibes, ample green spaces, walking tracks, ovals and surrounding reserve. The home is close to the local Evatt and Spence shops, a variety of schools and the Belconnen precinct, with its wide-ranging offering of entertainment, shopping and dining options, including the newly refurbed Fresh Food Markets. Convenient to the AIS, Bruce Stadium, the UC and Lake Ginninderra, the home is less than 13kms to the CBD and the ANU.
