Picture weekend mornings on the balcony, looking over parkland to the pond beyond, with the local cafés just a five-minute walk away. This four-bedroom Forde townhouse pairs that outlook with spacious living areas and a covered deck, giving the whole family room to unwind.
At the front of the home, the large fourth bedroom works perfectly as a home office, guest room, or kids' playroom.
Stepping through, the open-plan living and dining area features high ceilings and full-height windows that look across the hedge to the elevated parkland beyond. The kitchen sits to the side, with stone benchtops, a gas cooktop, and plenty of bench space for the home cook, while the separate laundry is tucked in neatly beside it.
Upstairs, a second living area opens onto a balcony overlooking the treetops and the pond. It works beautifully as a movie room, lounge, or a quiet place to read with a view.
The master bedroom includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, while bedrooms two and three both have built-in robes. They share a main bathroom with a bath and separate shower, plus a separate toilet. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning keeps both levels comfortable year-round.
The dining area opens to a covered timber deck and paved courtyard, ready for weekend barbecues and long lunches. Hedging along the boundary keeps your space private, with direct access to the parkland just behind it.
Forde Heritage Park sits right behind the complex, with walking paths and a large shady playground just beyond your back hedge. The Forde shops, with their cafés and restaurants, are a five-minute walk away, and Burgmann Anglican School is close by. Gungahlin Town Centre and Horse Park Drive are within easy reach, while Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve offers bush trails and native wildlife only minutes from home.
