Cleaning the kitchen backsplash has always been a pet hate of mine but what if you bought a property where you had to feed it as well?Welcome to number <a href="https://zango.com.au/property/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 Armfield Place, Chisholm</a>, which has a kitchen that’s Jaws meets The Little Mermaid. The backsplash of the ocean-inspired kitchen is a literal fish tank, meaning you can watch the adventures of your pet guppies, gold and angel fish while you wash up.<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071954139007-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">The unusual kitchen feature – which is just one of many quirky features in the four-bedroom, two-bathroom property – is attracting a lot of attention online, and even more so when people come to inspect the home.“Potential buyers think it’s a very unique feature that really brings the kitchen to life,” says sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/michael-martin/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Michael Martin</a> of Luton Properties.<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071953902336-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800_h8upGzZ.jpg" width="800">“The current owners bought the home with the fishtank already in, which they’ve enjoyed for many years. It was one feature which really helped them make a decision about buying the home.”At the back of the fishtank is an opening to feed the fish and clean the tank, says Michael, and “all the colourful, fun fish do come with the home”.<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071953171269-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800_Z5qYPfq.jpg" width="800">Other quirky traits at number 7 Armfield Place include split-level living spaces, a room that’s at once a library and a lounge room, and a winding staircase that goes through to a rumpus room or fourth bedroom. The spiral staircase is Michael’s favourite part of the home.“It leads to a huge space that can be a private retreat for gaming or to enjoy movie night,” he says.<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071955370845-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800_7LgdhRW.jpg" width="800">For co-lister <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/kelsey-white-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kelsey Tracey</a>, this home is all about the views.“I love the elevated position, the fantastic views – and the direct access to Simpsons Hill nature reserve, which has an exceptional walking trail,” she says.“Back inside, there’s so much character in this home.<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071959014907-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800_OkDYTJY.jpg" width="800">“We’ve had an excellent response and feedback from buyers who are looking for a larger family home that’s definitely not your ‘cookie cutter’ floorplan.“Anyone looking for character should come and inspect.”<img alt="7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-image-0-20250117071954394863-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492-imag.width-800_RvrHAto.jpg" width="800">Other highlights of the property include:<ul><li data-block-key="5s8d6">A master suite with an updated ensuite and walk-in-robe.</li><li data-block-key="4nl3f">An entertainer’s deck and pergola which looks over the enormous landscaped backyard.</li><li data-block-key="cbkr1">A family-sized laundry.</li><li data-block-key="4hpp3">A gas fireplace in the lounge room.</li></ul>Number 7 Armfield Place, Chisholm, goes to auction at 9am on Saturday 8 February 2025.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/7-armfield-place-chisholm-act-2905-115492/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>
