The homeowner purchased the home in 2013 after relocating to Canberra for work and spending his first six months in a rental. At the time, he was looking for a stable, family-friendly place to raise his young child in a safe suburb close to local shops and well-regarded schools. He has valued the security, space and practicality the home has provided throughout ever since.
Over the years, the property has been carefully improved to enhance comfort, efficiency and functionality. Major upgrades include the installation of a six-star Brivis ducted gas heating system, a Daikin 18kW ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning system, dual solar arrays (including a 1.5kW system with a transferable 46c/kWh feed-in tariff), Apricus solar hot water, upgraded security, insulation and optic fibre to the premises. The home has been maintained with long-term liveability in mind.
THE HOME
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers a practical and spacious layout suited to family living. The main bedroom includes an ensuite and has been configured with separate access to the front verandah, individual air extraction, linked smoke alarm and separate locks, providing flexibility for guest accommodation or potential Airbnb use.
The living room connects seamlessly with a massive wraparound verandah that extends from the front, around the western side and to the sunny rear of the home – creating multiple outdoor living zones. The front garden provides excellent privacy from the street, framed by a mature Brittle Gum and a yellow-flowering Silky Oak that attract native birdlife.
The kitchen features a corner pantry, Westinghouse induction cooktop and Bosch dishwasher, while the ensuite has been updated with a new ceramic vanity and cistern. Additional features include warm-colour insulated LED lighting throughout, central vacuum system, 3-phase power, a 32-amp single-phase outlet in the garage, Crimsafe front flyscreen door and an ADT alarm system.
A large brick double garage with electric front and manual rear roller doors offers drive-through access. Outdoors, the property includes three large veggie beds, a 3000-litre rainwater tank with gravity feed, enclosed chook yard and chook house, garden shed and upgraded stair access to both the front and rear yards.
THE LOCATION
Positioned in a safe, family-oriented suburb, the home is conveniently located close to local shops, schools and everyday amenities.
