50 Manning Clark Crescent, Franklin

There's something instantly loveable about this two-bedroom plus study home. Full of character and clearly put together with a lot of thought, it has a personality that's hard to replicate. Downstairs, new American hardwood floorboards add plenty of character throughout the open-plan living and dining area, creating an inviting space that feels comfortable and easy to live in. The kitchen is one of the real highlights. Designed for people who genuinely enjoy cooking, it's practical, well thought out and makes excellent use of the available space. Timber benchtops add to the personality of the home, alongside a NEFF oven, gas cooktop, walk-in pantry and plenty of usable preparation and storage space. The living area opens directly outside to a beautifully maintained garden and entertaining area. A small deck and insulated north-facing awning create a great spot to sit or entertain outside, while the manicured gardens and established vegetable beds give the backyard a real sense of personality and make it feel like an extension of the living space. Upstairs are two genuinely well-sized bedrooms with new wool carpet, along with a renovated bathroom, creating good separation between the living and sleeping areas. Comfort has also been well considered throughout the home, with ducted gas heating, a split-system air conditioner and ceiling fans in every room. Another great addition is the converted garage. Now a fully insulated multi-purpose room with a double-glazed timber window opening onto the garden, it feels like a genuinely usable extension of the home. Whether you need a home office, studio, hobby room, gym or additional bedroom, there's plenty of flexibility to make the space your own. A carport at the rear provides off-street parking. And importantly, there are no body corporate fees. The location makes everyday life easy too. Manning Clark North light rail stop is only a short walk away, providing an easy connection into Gungahlin and through to the city, while the nearby dog park and surrounding open spaces are also within easy reach. For first-home buyers, young couples or anyone looking for something with a little more charm and personality, 50 Manning Clark Crescent is the kind of place that's very easy to feel at home in.
