98 Maribyrnong Avenue, Kaleen, ACT 2617

Extremely energy efficient and a thoughtfully transformed design with several extensions and tasteful renovations over a stepped, expansive, layout. Truly a wonderful find and the ideal family retreat that is blissfully private and characterised by wonderful light filled interiors, impressive kitchen and bathrooms and oversized bedrooms. Further enhanced by an excellent choice of indoor and outdoor living areas and plenty of parking, all nestled amongst a picturesque, garden setting.

An additional draw card is one of the living areas, a private secluded retreat on the lower level. Showcasing plenty of additional space for the growing family, a bedroom, bar and the perfect set up for a home business with a separate entry and ample parking for clients.

Conveniently located and only a short drive to all amenities on offer in the Belconnen precinct
