8 (more) homes with rooms we honestly weren't expecting

6 Bowley Place, Florey

This very unassuming three-bedroom home at the end of a cul-de-sac in Florey actually has beautiful details on the inside that would make living here a dream. The laundry - where, let's face it, anyone with kids spends a fair bit of time - is super pretty, while the tiled feature wall in the kitchen is glorious.

Beautiful bamboo flooring makes the perfect blank canvas, while the bathrooms and the drop lights in the kitchen and master bedroom add a touch of elegance you don't often see in homes of this vintage.

The home goes to auction at 11.30am on Saturday 18 June 2022.

76a Hambidge Crescent, Chisholm

It's a little hard to tell if this four-bedroom home in Canberra's south is a new build or has had an extreme makeover - either way it's modern and functional with the kind of fittings that belong in Home Beautiful.

The kitchen and bathrooms have serious wow factor, and you can literally see sunlight pouring in in every photo. Also, it's less than a minute's drive from Aldi. Snow suit for winter anyone?

The property is up for auction on Saturday 25 June 2022 at 11.30am.

4/20 Blakey Close, Monash

Sometimes, it's an outdoor room that evokes the kind of lifestyle you're looking for in a home.

That's definitely true in the case of this three-bedroom gem in Monash, with a fire pit 'room' in the backyard inspiring nights of beanies, jackets and gloves, toasted marshmallows and a ghost story or two.

The home goes to auction at 10.30am on Sunday 19 June 2022.

63 Meredith Circuit, Kambah

On that note, check out the outdoor spa area of this unassuming property in Kambah. An absolute oasis in the suburbs, perfect for unwinding after a long day in the public service or just dipping your toes in while you read a good book.

The home itself comes with four bedrooms and two bathrooms and is within walking distance of Murrumbidgee Golf Club.

63 Meredith Circuit is for sale by negotiation.

6/26 Eungella Street, Duffy

Duffy is totally showing off with this renovated three-bedroom townhouse in the Alpine Grove complex. The outside is a little old school but on the inside you'll find beautiful wall panelling a la Hamptons and exposed brick against a modern colour palette.

The duck egg blue feature walls are divine, but it was the dining room that we weren't expecting - with exposed beams, room for a work desk and black Victorian drop lights.

The property is up for auction at 12 noon on Saturday 18 June 2022.

22 Lewis Luxton Avenue, Gordon

The cutest little playroom there ever was! Featuring a line to dry wet paintings, rails on which to hang buckets and buckets of craft supplies, and beautiful inspirational wall art, this room is a dream for any child aged 12 months and up.

It belongs to this four-bedroom home in Gordon.

22 Lewis Luxton Avenue will be auctioned at 5.30pm on Tuesday 28 June 2022.

70 Erldunda Circuit, Hawker

Retaining the wooden window frame in the entirely new bathroom of this home in Hawker was 100 per cent the right choice. The wood makes a beautiful feature against a modern colour palette and reminds us a little of the bathrooms you'd find in renovated homes in old Griffith and Manuka.

The Hawker property comes with four bedrooms and its own in-ground pool. It's being auctioned at 12.15pm on Saturday 18 June 2022.

16 Handcock Crescent, Macgregor

It was almost impossible to choose just one room from this long blue house in Macgregor - every room made our jaw drop.

We've gone with the sunroom: a wonderful play space for kids in the afternoon sun, with a comfy spot for parents to sit and watch while the kids play (let's be honest, relaxing in the sunroom won't be happening until the kids are in bed and the sun has gone down).

The four-bedroom home will be auctioned at 10am on Saturday 18 June 2022.
