Selling agent <a href="/agents/dan-29/">Dan Cooper</a> from Ray White <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Real Estate Canberra</a> said the home will appeal to a range of buyers but would be ideal for growing or extended families due to its versatile floor plan and flexible living spaces.“This is a home you could move straight into and enjoy as it is, or add your own touches in the future if you feel the need to.“It provides enough living space for flexible living in terms of larger families, those with older or younger kids or extended families as it’s a good-sized home with 288 sqm of living space.“There’s really nice segregation in terms of Mum and Dad upstairs in a nice, large master bedroom and the kids downstairs with their own good-size rumpus room, three bedrooms and a study – it’s very nicely laid out.“It will provide a growing family plenty of space to be together or apart if needed.”<img alt="21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0-20240405003248628371-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">Situated on a 1213 square metre block, the house is nestled in the Fadden Hills towards the end of a cul-de-sac and up a battle-axe driveway, meaning absolute privacy.“It backs straight out onto Wanniassa Reserve. It has a beautiful and extremely private outlook, which is rare for a large home like this. It’s quiet but it’s also close to everywhere.”<img alt="21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0-20240405003243654963-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0.width-800_e4UphNB.jpg" width="800">You can stroll around the ridge or head up to Trig Station where you’ll be rewarded with fine views over Canberra. Alternatively, you can put on activewear and trek or cycle around the Isaac and Farrer trails.Dan said this area of Fadden had plenty of community appeal, and he expected the property’s key values of location and seclusion to be a drawcard.“Fadden Hills is kind of like a little gated community. You drive in, and there’s the beautiful duck pond on the right and the Fadden Hills tennis courts on the left. It’s a nice, quiet location.“You are surrounded by large, quality homes in this area, and while they come up occasionally, this one, with its layout and access to walks and trails, is a standout.“It’s not the only one of its type on the market, but its rarity is that it backs onto the reserve, which is quite a nice thing.”Set over two levels, the house has internal access via the oversized triple garage. There’s ducted gas heating, a feature stone fireplace and evaporative cooling. The laundry and powder room have been recently refurbished.Outside, there’s a private entertaining area and lush lawn space that Dan cites as similar to a croquet pitch.<img alt="21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0-20240405003247332196-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826-image-0.width-800_FiERo0C.jpg" width="800">He said the kitchen felt like it would be the social hub of the house.“It has a really nice kitchen with a large stone breakfast bar benchtop and quality finishes.“It’s a great setting because you’ve got a huge kitchen, and when you stand there, you can’t see any other homes. It’s so private that you could be anywhere.“To me, it feels like a really social part of the house – the hub or the nucleus.“I can imagine the family or guests gathering around in it – it’s a great space as the casual meals/family area then opens out to the outdoor area through the bi-folding doors.”Fadden is regarded as a sought-after neighbourhood renowned for its prestige, convenience and tranquillity. Located five minutes from Erindale, Woden and Tuggeranong, you will enjoy proximity to top-rated schools, shopping precincts, parks and recreational facilities.21 Sparkes Close, Fadden goes to auction 27 April at 10am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-98826/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/two-levels-of-living-privacy-and-acres-of-nature-reserve-your-home-in-the-hills-beckons/758429" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>

<a href="/agents/kate-coultas/">Kate Coultas</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/ray-white/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ray White Canberra</a> says while the area is known for its architecturally-built homes, the home at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">21A Sparkes Close</a> is a standout.“This is a stunning home with outstanding views from all aspects as it sits on an elevated block,” Kate says.“There are multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces, facing the front and facing the rear, and the property backs onto the Centennial Trail.”<img alt="21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-0-20230921044712058530-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-.width-800.jpg" width="800">Don&#x27;t be confused by the street number, Kate says. The home sits on a very large separate title block and is not part of a body corporate.&quot;There’s 278sqm of living space, meaning it will suit a lot of people,&quot; she says.“It’s close to perfect for a young family. It’s ready to move on in, but it would also suit a more mature family with adult children living at home who don’t look like moving out in a hurry.“The segregation of living spaces is really great.”<img alt="21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-0-20230921044713043891-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-.width-800_2HxxYaK.jpg" width="800">The beautiful grounds feature established gardens and a 9 x 4.5m pool. Outside, you’ll also find an electric car charging station in the garage and newly-installed solar panels (9.99 kW).Three bathrooms accompany the five bedrooms, and there’s a chef’s kitchen with two Smeg ovens. The wine cellar is a gorgeous space for the budding connoisseur or serious collector.“It’s a standout home,” Kate says.<img alt="21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-0-20230921044716445458-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-.width-800_DCU0qVi.jpg" width="800">“Most homes in Fadden are all generally architecturally-designed homes built in the 1980s. The homes like this one came a little later and were built into this nook on elevated blocks.“This property sits in a cul-de-sac, which means no drive-through traffic. It’s a very, very quiet neighbourhood and you are surrounded by other quality homes.“One of the features is the way the indoor spaces connect with the outside. There are beautiful French doors, and you can step out onto the front balcony from the lounge area and step in the opposite direction out on the rear entertaining area.“It’s just one of those homes that flows and flows.&quot;<img alt="21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-0-20230921044718543116-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/21a-sparkes-close-fadden-act-2904-87026-image-.width-800_l419eg9.jpg" width="800">Further highlights include built-in robes in four of the bedrooms, with a fifth bedroom/rumpus room offering its own separate entrance.

Meet the luxury Fadden home that backs onto the Centenary Trail

News

A five-bedroom home in Fadden, with ample room for entertaining and impressive views, set the new suburb price on Saturday afternoon, October 23rd.<a href="/sale/74-appel-crescent-fadden-act-2904-47609/">74 Appel Crescent</a> sold for $1,635,000 at auction, beating the previous Fadden sales record by around $190K which was set earlier this year.There were 5 registered bidders at the property for the onsite auction and 1 phone bidder who after consistent bidding, locked in their new home.&#x27;&#x27;The buyers were bidding on the phone from Sydney and had not yet stepped foot inside the home due to lockdown restrictions. We took them through the property twice virtually throughout the campaign as well as viewing the home online&#x27;&#x27;.The buyers were very familiar with the home and were passionately keen to purchase the property, now returning &#x27;home&#x27; to Canberra, &#x27;&#x27;the buyers lived on Appel Crescent 15 years ago and loved the area, they&#x27;re very excited to be making the move now back from Sydney&#x27;&#x27;.Sales agent <a href="/agents/dan-cooper-3/">Dan Cooper</a> from <a href="/agencies/lj-hooker-tuggeranong/">LJ Hooker Tuggeranong</a> said, &#x27;&#x27;We had so many enquiries at the price point, and the auction ran smoothly, the sellers were elated.&#x27;&#x27;&#x27;Tuggeranong has been undervalued for many years, with close proximity to Woden and the City, it&#x27;s becoming highly sought after. Particularly the north end of Tuggeranong, where you can generally get bigger houses on bigger blocks with great views.&#x27;&#x27;Dan and his team managed to get 50 groups through the property for physical inspection during the campaign, opening the home three times per week to make sure all interested parties were able to view the property.<img alt="74 Appel Crescent FADDEN 2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="509" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/74_Appel_Crescent_FADDEN_2.width-800.png" width="800">The five bedroom home is set high in the hills of Fadden, offering some of the best views in Canberra. The main level has plenty of space for the family, with four bedrooms, open plan lounge and dining, a formal lounge room, and an oversized kitchen with ample bench and cupboard space, induction cooktop, and enviable views.Downstairs is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, which doubles as a rumpus or games room, plus laundry and ample storage.<img alt="74 Appel Crescent FADDEN 3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="506" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/74_Appel_Crescent_FADDEN_3.width-800.png" width="800">It’s a home for all seasons. In summer, there’s the resort style, solar-heated pool and gazebo to enjoy, or just relaxing on the spacious deck, which enjoys stunning 180 degree views of the Brindabellas. In winter, get cosy in the six-person spa bath, the Swedish sauna, or in front of the fireplace, and you can enjoy uninterrupted views of snow-capped mountains.<img alt="74 Appel Crescent FADDEN 4.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="501" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/74_Appel_Crescent_FADDEN_4.width-800.png" width="800">The new residents will also get to enjoy access to a nature reserve and walking trails right near the front doorstep.&#x27;&#x27;I believe the trends in demand for these styles of properties in the Tuggeranong region will continue to build into the future.If you&#x27;re selling in this market, the auction process will enable you to get a good result, provided you&#x27;re selling with an experienced auction agent.&#x27;&#x27;
