From the moment you arrive, the home makes a strong impression with its contemporary street presence and quiet, family-friendly setting. Inside, the floorplan has been designed to balance connection and privacy, with two separate living areas, excellent natural light, feature skylights and quality finishes throughout. A desirable north-facing position further enhances the home's sense of warmth and brightness, capturing excellent natural light throughout the day while supporting passive solar comfort across the seasons. The result is a home that feels bright, spacious and welcoming, while still offering the flexibility modern households need.
At the heart of the home, the main living, dining and kitchen area provides a comfortable everyday gathering space with a strong connection to the outdoors. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering quality Smeg appliances, gas cooktop, excellent storage and a practical layout suited to family life, entertaining and day-to-day ease. A second living area featuring an electric fireplace adds further versatility, creating valuable separation for children, guests, work-from-home needs or quiet retreat.
Accommodation includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, supported by two premium bathrooms with an additional powder room for added convenience. The main bedroom has been designed as a private sanctuary, complete with its own walk in robe & designer ensuite configured as a wet room with a freestanding bathtub and elegant floating vanity. The main bathroom continues the home's modern finish, with sleek fittings.
A major highlight of the property is its future-focused energy and technology package. The home is equipped with a substantial 15kW solar system across 24 panels, an impressive 48kWh battery storage system and an integrated 22kW EV fast charger suitable for all electric vehicles. Its north-facing orientation provides excellent solar potential, while fully reflective, non-invasive window tinting has also been applied throughout, enhancing daytime privacy and supporting year-round thermal efficiency. A 2000lt rainwater tank with automatic switchover pump further adds to the home's practical sustainability credentials.
Comfort has been carefully considered through Canberra's changing seasons, with a premium six-zone ducted air conditioning system with a touch screen controller and mobile connectivity allowing the home to be managed with ease. Gas hot water and gas cooking further support the home's practical everyday functionality, while the overall design reflects a strong focus on comfort, efficiency and low-maintenance living.
Outdoors, the home continues to impress. The landscaped yard has been designed for enjoyment rather than constant upkeep, with a fully self-watering garden system and secure outdoor spaces ideal for children and pets. Fully fenced and easy to maintain, it offers a relaxed extension of the home without the demands of a high-maintenance block.
Positioned within easy reach of Whitlam's future local shops, commercial centre and planned school, the home is well placed for everyday convenience as the suburb continues to grow. The proposed Molonglo Town Centre precinct is also only a short drive away, placing 5 Maggie Scott Terrace in an area set to benefit from significant future infrastructure, amenity and long-term lifestyle appeal.
