Forget what you think you know about townhouse living.
Behind the contemporary façade is a remarkably spacious four bedroom home offering approximately 210m² under roof, multiple living zones, dedicated study space and a double garage all wrapped up in an easy care lifestyle.
For growing families, busy professionals or buyers wanting genuine space without the maintenance of a large block, this one deserves your attention.
And then there's Forde itself: Ponds. Parkland. Walking trails. Dog park. Local shops and cafés. Burgmann Anglican School nearby. Gungahlin and light rail within easy reach.
It's a location that makes everyday life remarkably convenient.
SPACE TO LIVE. SPACE TO GROW.
Walk through the front door and the size of the home immediately becomes apparent.
The ground floor provides three distinct living and dining zones, allowing family life to happen without everyone being on top of each other.
There's room to relax in the lounge, gather around the dining table and create a more casual everyday living zone in the family room.
Large windows bring natural light into the home, while timber-look flooring adds warmth and continuity throughout the downstairs living spaces.
It's a layout designed for real life whether that's children doing their own thing, working from home, entertaining friends or simply enjoying some separation at the end of the day.
THE HEART OF THE HOME
Positioned alongside the living spaces, the kitchen is practical, bright and well equipped. Generous cabinetry and bench space are complemented by gas cooking, electric oven and dishwasher, providing everything needed for busy family life.
Its position also keeps the kitchen connected to the adjoining living and dining areas rather than tucked away from the action.
FOUR BEDROOMS AND THEY'RE NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT
Head upstairs and the proportions continue to impress. There are four well proportioned bedrooms, giving families the flexibility that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in low maintenance homes.
The main bedroom is particularly generous and includes a substantial walk-through wardrobe and private ensuite. Three additional bedrooms provide room for children, guests or flexible work-from-home accommodation, with built-in storage adding to the practicality.
The main family bathroom offers both a bathtub and separate shower, while a downstairs powder room means guests don't need to venture upstairs.
YOUR HOME OFFICE IS ALREADY HERE
Working from home doesn't have to mean sacrificing a bedroom.
The upper level includes a dedicated study nook with built-in desk and storage, creating a ready made workspace for professionals, students or children's homework.
It's another small detail that makes a big difference to everyday family life.
STEP OUTSIDE. FORDE DOES THE REST.
One of the greatest attractions of this home isn't contained within its walls. It's the lifestyle waiting outside them.
Forde was designed around green space, ponds, reserves and an extensive network of walking and cycling trails, creating an environment where getting outdoors can simply become part of your day.
Take an early morning walk around Zakharov Pond. Grab a local coffee. Take the dog to the Forde dog park. Explore the surrounding parks and walking trails. Or simply enjoy having open space nearby without having to maintain a huge backyard yourself.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED, CLOSE TO HOME
Families are well catered for, with Burgmann Anglican School nearby and Forde's local shops, cafés and everyday conveniences within easy reach.
When you need more, Gungahlin Town Centre is only a short trip away, putting major supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, cafés, medical services and everyday essentials close at hand.
Public transport is convenient too, with access to local bus services and connections to the Gungahlin light rail interchange, providing light rail services towards Dickson and Canberra City.
Prefer to drive?
Easy access to Horse Park Drive provides convenient connections towards the Federal Highway, Majura Parkway and the wider Canberra road network.
You get the quieter; greener lifestyle Forde is known for without giving up connectivity.
