Set at the foot of Mount Taylor in a quiet, well-established pocket, this charming single-level home offers a lifestyle of comfort, space and everyday ease, with everything Canberra has to offer just moments away.
From the street, the home presents with warmth and privacy, framed by manicured gardens and a welcoming front porch that sets the tone for what lies within. There's a sense of calm and space immediately evident, with a practical layout and multiple living zones designed to suit both relaxed family living and entertaining.
Inside, the home offers a versatile floorplan with separate living, dining and family areas, allowing flexibility for growing families or those who simply appreciate having space to spread out. A slow combustion fireplace with electric fan creates a cosy focal point in the cooler months, while evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating ensure year-round comfort.
The thoughtfully renovated kitchen sits at the heart of the home, showcasing a beautifully appointed stone benchtop with a generous breakfast bar overhang, perfectly paired with a spacious walk-in pantry. Designed with both functionality and connection in mind, it offers ample storage and flows seamlessly through to the meals and family areas, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining alike. Adjacent to the kitchen, the large laundry provides versatile additional prep and workspace, while remaining discreetly tucked away behind a sliding door. Accommodation includes three well-sized bedrooms, with bedrooms two and three offering direct external access-ideal for flexibility, guests or a home office setup. The bathroom is well-appointed with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a separate bath and shower, and is complemented by a separate powder room for added convenience.
Stepping outside, the home truly comes into its own. A covered rear deck with a pergola creates the perfect space for entertaining or unwinding, beautifully framed by a striking lush tree fern. The deck overlooks a fully enclosed pool and generous outdoor area. The space is private, established and designed for enjoyment, whether hosting friends or spending time with family.
Additional features include a single carport, a large garage with excellent storage options, off-street parking, upgraded R6 insulation for enhanced efficiency, and a well-maintained overall presentation that allows you to move in and enjoy immediately.
The location is a standout-peaceful yet incredibly connected. Positioned at the base of Mount Taylor, you're surrounded by nature and walking trails. A spacious dog-friendly oval is just moments away, while an inviting community garden sits tucked quietly around the corner. All this while remaining within 15-20 minutes of the City, Woden, Tuggeranong and Belconnen, offering true convenience in every direction. The home is walking distance to schools, Mawson Shops, express bus routes and the future light rail corridor.
This is a home that delivers space, comfort and lifestyle in equal measure, with the flexibility to enjoy now and enhance over time.
