24 Augustus Close, Palmerston, ACT 2913

Screened by neat hedging, this well presented home is situated in a super convenient, cul-de-sac location, only a short walk from shops, schools, cafes and the light rail terminal in Gungahlin town centre!

Inviting and ready to welcome its new family, the home offers separate living areas and fabulous entertaining space on either side.

A paved sitting area in the private front garden is sheltered by attractive, hardy plantings and timber screening. Masses of spring bulbs will bring colour and fragrance.

Striking bamboo flooring is a highlight from the entry and extends throughout the home, making for an easy maintenance and low allergy environment.

Full length windows in the formal lounge/dining offer an open perspective to private gardens and paved entertaining areas on both sides of the home. Rich earthy wall tones complement colours in the bamboo flooring. A Panasonic reverse cycle air conditioner and a stylish ceiling fan ensure comfort in formal living areas.

Updated kitchen appliances have been installed, including a glass cooktop, oven and stainless steel dishwasher, and a second reverse cycle air conditioner in the family room.

The family room opens onto the fabulous north facing, paved entertaining area, sheltered by a pergola and Laserlight. Blissfully warm in winter and enjoyed year round, this outdoor living space offers a private outlook over the rear garden, which has a circle of grass and paved areas for play.

All bedrooms offer built-in robes, bamboo flooring and a garden outlook, while the segregated master bedroom has access to the two-way bathroom, with a bath, shower and separate w/c.

A roller door on the driveway creates privacy and a secure play environment for children and pets.

The garden offers the potential for self-sufficiency, with a wonderful array of fruit trees and plenty of space in between for re-establishing the many raised veggie beds that supplied fresh produce. A chook pen completes the picture.

The double garage is fitted with auto roller doors and includes a w/c and basin, as well as ample storage space, and there is a garden shed.

Burgmann College is just a short walk, while green belt bike pathways allow a safe trip to Palmerston primary school, and bus stops are close by.

All the shops, restaurants and cafes in Gungahlin Marketplace are a comfortable stroll, while the tram ensures a smooth trip into the Farmers' Market, Dickson shops and the City centre!

Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club and nature trails around Gungahlin Pond are just a short walk.
