5 McGlinn Place, Gowrie, ACT 2904

Tucked away in a secluded, private nook, this comfortable family homestead is superbly positioned opposite local schools and shops, with major retail, dining and lifestyle amenities within easy reach.

The traditional façade is framed by an expansive verandah, a peaceful setting for quiet contemplation, a morning coffee, watching the weather roll in and greeting passing neighbours.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen integrates perfectly with the casual living area, where cork flooring and a slow-combustion fireplace create a warm, inviting hub for family life. Whip up a comforting roast on a cold winter’s evening, pour a glass of red and settle in beside the fire as its glowing embers set the scene for relaxed conversation and lingering yarns.

A dedicated dining room provides a more traditional setting, while the separate lounge offers a calm escape to switch off, unwind and rejuvenate.

The bedrooms provide peaceful retreats and are complemented by the practical appeal of an updated bathroom and the authentic charm of an original ensuite.

I invite you to visit this character-filled residence, one that glows with personality, originality and homestead warmth, and superbly positioned in an exceptional North Tuggeranong location.
