Investment experts will tell you there are four characteristics that make an ideal' property location. This home in Florey has all four, and more.
First is its centrality. Within a five-minute walk is the vibrant Florey shopping centre, Florey Primary School, and Yerra Beach on Lake Ginninderra. Westfield Belconnen, Belconnen offices and the University of Canberra are just five minutes' drive away.
Second is its neighbourhood. Set in a safe, quiet cul-de-sac with mature trees, a reserve walk-through and beautifully kept homes on large blocks, the accessibility and setting are exceptional.
Third is its desirability. Data last year showed that Florey is the second most tightly-held suburb in Canberra, with few people who live there wanting to give up a lifestyle chock-full of convenience and amenities.
Finally, there's the actual size and orientation of the lot. Set on a flat, 948 m2 north-facing block at the end of a cul-de-sac where it shares a fence with only one neighbour, and a reserve to the west, there can be few that would best it.
Yet beyond ticking all the location' boxes, this home is ready-made for family life.
A sunken lounge with exposed brick walls, a formal dining room and a huge family room that leads out to a covered paved patio area are all primed for entertaining and family time.
There's an enormous backyard and a large carport with separate entrance, perfect for a caravan, boat or tradies' equipment.
And with four bedrooms, an ensuite and a main bathroom with a huge footprint, there's plenty of space for everyone.
This is a property that keeps on giving.
