10 Booth Cres, Cook ACT 2614, Australia

There’s so much to love about this family home, starting with the location. Backing directly onto Mount Painter Reserve on arguably Cook’s best street, you can enjoy the perfect combination of peaceful bushland living with everything close by. From the beautiful gardens to the expansive and versatile layout where character and quality are evident throughout, this is a home full of heart.

A bespoke Thor’s Hammer recycled timber front door sets the tone for the craftsmanship within, where beautiful parquetry flooring flows throughout the living areas and picture windows frame leafy outlooks and flood the space with natural light.

The generous living area opens via double sliding doors to the front balcony – a delightful space to sit with your morning coffee and listen to the birds in the trees. The lounge flows to the dining and kitchen area, where you’ll find everything you need to make cooking and entertaining effortless. Just step outside to the vine-draped pergola and you’re dining alfresco in an enviable setting.

Five bedrooms, all with built-in robes, offer plenty of space for the whole family. The main bedroom features a private ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms share an elegantly renovated bathroom with a deep soaking tub.

The addition of a rumpus room and separate study, both with custom cabinetry, is perfect for the growing family. With ash flooring and yard access, the rumpus is a versatile space; use it as a kids’ retreat, teen zone, or media room. The fifth bedroom sits on the other side of the rumpus, ideal as a guest room.

Double-glazed windows, reverse cycle heating and cooling systems, and solar panels ensure year-round comfort and efficiency, while modern lighting and timber accents against the crisp white interiors enhance the home’s natural warmth.

But it’s the connection to the outdoors that truly elevates this home. The private and paved entertaining patio is an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, while the terraced yard beyond is beautifully landscaped, with lush lawns for the kids, established gardens that blend into the nature reserve beyond, and even a chicken coop for your own fresh eggs. Sandstone seating frames the firepit area, perfect for cool evenings under the stars.

As the locals will love to tell you, this location offers all the convenience of a city-fringe suburb with the peace of bushland walking trails right at your back doorstep. Enjoy easy access to popular schools including Aranda Primary and Radford College and retail facilities, including Jamison Plaza, Westfield Belconnen, and the city, only minutes away, along with University of Canberra, AIS and North Canberra Hospital. A short leisurely walk takes you to the popular “Little Oink” Cafe, “To All My Friends”, and The Cook Grocer, all located at the bustling Cook shops.

With its blend of crafted detail, versatile living spaces, and connection to nature, this is a home that invites you to embrace the best of what Cook has to offer.
