The homeowners first discovered this semi-detached duplex in 2018, drawn by the chance to secure a comfortable family home without sacrificing lifestyle. Built in 1996 and positioned in Queanbeyan West, it offered a welcoming community, and views that brought a sense of calm. From the front, they could watch planes trace the sky above the racecourse, listen to cockatoos calling from the gum trees, and enjoy the quiet rhythm of a neighbourhood where people still stop to say hello.
Over time, the home became more than just a good purchase – it became deeply personal. In 2023, the homeowner committed to renovating key areas, carefully reshaping the house to suit both family life and entertaining. The kitchen was completely transformed into a highly functional, central hub where everything has been thoughtfully considered, right down to power points in the wardrobes and laundry. Quality windows and doors were chosen not just for looks, but for how well they regulate temperature and block out noise, making everyday living noticeably more comfortable. The home now flows effortlessly with the main living space opening onto a generous deck that feels like an extension of the house itself.
The deck quickly became the heart of the home and remains the homeowner’s favourite space. With heating and cooling, excellent shade, and beautiful views, it’s equally suited to lively gatherings or quiet moments alone. It’s a place where you can sit with a coffee, listen to birdsong, and forget how close you are to the city. The clever kitchen window opening directly onto the deck made entertaining easy, allowing meals and conversations to flow naturally between inside and out.
The bedrooms provided a sense of separation and privacy, ideal for a growing family. The flexibility of a home office made working from home both practical and comfortable, long before it became the norm. Outside, the backyard became a place of simple joy, with space for children to play, vegetables to grow, and memories to form.
For the homeowner, this was where their family truly grew. From welcoming their two children home to seeing the deck and backyard enjoyed as spaces to play and unwind, the home has been shaped by the rhythms of real family living.
Now, as they prepare for the next chapter, this thoughtfully renovated, strata-free duplex stands ready to welcome another family. It’s a home designed for connection, comfort, and everyday living – a place where new journeys can begin, children can grow, and memories can be made, all within a close-knit community that feels instantly familiar.
