31 Daley Crescent, Fraser, ACT 2615

Situated in the serene outskirts of Canberra, a unique family home stands as a beacon of intergenerational living and heartfelt memories. This residence is expansive, bright and airy and was chosen by the homeowners who made the move to Canberra to be closer to their daughter and their three-year-old granddaughter. This decision was driven by the desire to be an integral part of their granddaughter's life, witnessing her milestones, and providing daily support.

Selected for its breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and mountains and its spacious, versatile layout, this residence became more than just a house. It transformed into a home, vibrant with family bonds and gatherings. The open plan kitchen and family room, opens out onto a spacious deck, quickly becoming a favoured spot for looking at the views and its accompanying wildlife.

In 2020, the homeowners' daughter constructed a granny flat extension, to be closer to her aging parents. The two residences offer separate entries for privacy, but also offer shared access through the lockable, internal laundry and the large, shared rear deck. During the Canberra balloon spectacular, the deck bore witness to many morning coffees and family chatter as the balloons floated by.

This home is not only a place of personal joy but also of significant honour; holding the unique distinction of having hosted Sir David Attenborough, with whom the homeowner shared common interests with, as a renowned palaeontologist.

As chapters are written and stories evolve, the homeowners prepare to pass this cherished family abode on to new hands, with the hope that the new inhabitants will create as many special memories as they have over the years.
