33 Wybalena Grove Cook, ACT 2614

Embrace the legacy and natural beauty of the award-winning Wybalena Grove. Designed by Michael Dysart, one of Australia's most influential architects, this iconic 70s development is nestled across 30 acres of native bushland, where sustainable design, community living, and beautifully crafted interiors are perfectly intertwined. Staggered rows meander across the sloping site, each home stepping back to preserve privacy and embrace the northerly sun. This home claims a prized end position next to parkland, nurturing the spirit that defines the Grove.

Beautifully updated yet deeply respectful of Dysart's vision, every aspect of this home is informed by the lush bushland setting - think exposed brick, rich timber accents, and a muted palette of neutral tones. Expansive glazing frames the leafy outlook, flooding the interiors with light, and soaring raked ceilings enhance the sense of space and openness.

The open-plan living area spills effortlessly to the generous timber deck, where morning coffee in the sunshine is accompanied by birdsong and the rustle of the breeze through the leaves. As dusk settles, the cast iron fireplace radiates warmth, creating a cosy haven for quiet evenings at home. A clever loft adds versatility, offering a quiet retreat for work, reading, or relaxing.

Elevated to capture the treetop views, the living space flows across the upper level with the designer kitchen discreetly tucked to one side while still offering easy connection between cooking, dining, and deck, where entertaining takes on a serene, tree-house-like quality.

Step down to the front courtyard where the paved entertaining area unfolds to the native bushland beyond. Here, privacy and connection coexist, with high walls ensuring seclusion, while the thoughtfully landscaped native gardens deliver year-round beauty with minimal upkeep.

The lower levels deliver five carefully curated bedrooms, nestled into the landscape with leafy views. The fourth bedroom has been cleverly converted into two intimate spaces, offering welcome flexibility for families and guests, but can easily be reconfigured into one bedroom as needed. The generous bathroom and ensuite echo the fresh neutral tones and clean lines of the home, while a downstairs study provides another versatile space for a home office, creative studio, or teen retreat.

The Grove's leafy setting gives way to Mount Painter Reserve and Aranda Bushland, perfect for weekend mountain bike rides, dawn bushwalks or birdwatching from your deck. Imagine mornings that begin with a coffee run to the popular Cook shops, and evenings spent sharing pizza and wine with neighbours at the communal pizza oven back at home. Local shops, schools, Belconnen, and the city are all within easy reach, offering the perfect blend of quiet retreat and urban convenience.
