1 Boucaut Street, Gillen

There’s a special kind of magic that lives at 1 Boucaut Street — the kind that wraps you up in a sense of ease the moment you walk through the front gate. This is a home made for families who love space, sunlight, laughter, and long afternoons spent outside. A home where every corner is used, loved, and lived in.Surrounded by shade sails, tall fences, and tropical plantings, this beautifully presented property offers privacy, practicality, and soul in equal measure. From the front lawn through to the pool and every shaded outdoor zone in between, this is a place that works hard for a busy family while still leaving plenty of room to breathe.The layout flows openly through tiled living areas, where soft light filters through to a central lounge, anchored by a slow-combustion wood heater. In winter it becomes the beating heart of the home, crackling quietly while you gather around the table or settle in for a movie night. The kitchen has a timeless quality — white cabinetry, dark benchtops, and plenty of storage — just a few steps from the laundry and garden. Whether you're prepping meals or hosting friends, it’s designed to be used — functional, well-placed, and connected to the rest of the home.Each of the four bedrooms carries a distinct personality, from soft pastel tones to warm neutral finishes. The master suite offers privacy with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the other rooms are positioned to allow flexibility — ideal for kids, guests, or even a dedicated home office. The family bathroom is fresh and fuss-free, and split systems throughout the home keep every room comfortable no matter the season.Step outside and you’ll see why this home is built for Territory living. The large undercover entertaining space is ready for birthdays, backyard dinners, or weekend BBQs — with a bar area, ceiling fan, and screen blinds for shade and privacy. Just around the corner is a lemon tree dripping with fruit, a fenced area for pets, and a firepit zone bordered by rustic red stonework, ready for winter gatherings under the stars.The in-ground pool is beautifully finished with terracotta paving and a thatched gazebo — a private oasis tucked into the back corner of the block. There’s also a cubby house and play fort shaded from the sun, water tanks, a shed, and wood storage — every inch of the yard has been put to smart use.Out the front, secure fencing opens to a wide front yard with dual shade structures, creating plenty of off-street parking behind the gate. The double carport and paved driveway mean storage for cars, trailers, or a caravan is sorted — with solar panels overhead reducing your energy footprint.From above, the aerial view tells a complete story — a home perfectly positioned on its block, wrapping around outdoor living zones, garden spaces, and practical elements that support everyday family life. There’s a rhythm to the way this home works — practical but peaceful, welcoming but private, with just the right amount of Territory character.This isn’t just a property — it’s a place to grow up, slow down, and soak in everything life in Alice Springs has to offer.
