With a simple layout and pastel colour palette, the home is 1990s Canberra floorplan meets Martha Stewart.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093212028776-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">And just to add to the cuteness — it comes with a French-speaking agent!Sales agent Damien Neron from Luton Gungahlin says he saw the potential in the property the second he saw it, mostly because of its enchanting gardens, which he describes as “a haven”.The established gardens are home to multiple outdoor entertaining areas and a series of mature fruit trees, including cherry, peach, apple, and lemon trees. The enclosed, gated backyard features a double carport, a workshop shed and additional storage sheds.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093217404110-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_drPUaVD.jpg" width="800">“The garden is just beautiful,” Damien says.“There are several ponds, ways to entertain, a cubby house for the kids that matches the main house and my favourite, the gazebo.“The entire property has been meticulously looked after by the current owners and it shows in every detail.”Built in 1993, the north Canberra home has been modernised to include wooden floorboards and wood design features, and an upgraded kitchen and bathroom.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093214412738-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_YCiRgJ2.jpg" width="800">“You can tell that the upgrades were really considered and executed well,” Damien says.“The heart of the property is its light-filled open-plan living area, where natural light pours in.“The renovated kitchen is stylish and practical; it has a Bosch dishwasher, and modern appliances, including a gas cooktop and electric oven.”LED downlights, evaporative cooling and gas heating ensure the home is comfortable year-round.<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093215072768-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_Y6cgIL6.jpg" width="800">Though it’s located “in the heart” of Ngunnawal, the small pocket of Wirria Circuit that the home is located on is “whisper quiet”, according to Damien.“It’s also opposite a park, which is perfect for families with small children,” he says.“Convenience is another standout feature.“The home is a four-minute walk to Ngunnawal Shops and a 10-minute walk to Ngunnawal Primary School. It has easy access to Gungahlin Drive and Mirrabei Drive for commuters.”<img alt="1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-image-0-20250108093215740809-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936-ima.width-800_qtlUWla.jpg" width="800">If you love the charm of this property though you’ll need to act quickly. Around 20 groups went through at the open home last weekend.“It’s incredibly popular because it’s simple and you can move in with nothing to do,” Damien says.Number 1 Wirria Circuit, Ngunnawal, is for sale by negotiation.<a href="https://zango.com.au/property/1-wirria-circuit-ngunnawal-act-2913-114936/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

The Scandi makeover of this Amaroo home is beyond satisfying

Tim and Cassandra Kavanagh thank their lucky stars their baby Ron will “literally go to anyone who puts his arms out to him”.“He’s super cruisey,” Cassandra laughs.“Our family loves looking after him.”<img alt="IMG_6197 (2)" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1042" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_6197_2.width-800.jpg" width="800">It’s a good thing, too. Tim and Cassandra are mid-way through the renovation of an ex-government house in Downer, the second stage in what will be a three-part process.Stage 1 was the complete demolition of the interior of the three-bedroom home, Stage 2 (which the family is currently in) is the front yard and front facade, while Stage 3 will be the extension of the home. The result will be a modern four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home, in Canberra’s coveted inner north, by the end of 2023.<img alt="IMG_6199" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1063" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_6199.width-800.jpg" width="800">While they’re not the only Canberrans who’ve seen <a href="/news/the-most-stunning-ex-govvie-transformations-on-the-market-right-now/">huge potential in an ex-government house and decided to renovate</a>, they’re probably only one of a handful brave enough to do so with a baby.For Stage 1 of the renovation, Tim and Cassandra – who both grew up in Belconnen –- had just eight weeks to get the house Ron-friendly. They’d leave their baby sleeping with Tim’s mum and head to the property at night to tear down walls, rip up flooring and completely expose the skeleton of the house.<img alt="IMG_2312" class="richtext-image full-width" height="629" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_2312.width-800.jpg" width="800">They had just six weeks within that eight weeks to re-erect walls, lay new flooring, restore the roof and get a working kitchen and bathroom in.“I have no idea how but we did it,” Tim says.“It definitely helps that Cass is an incredible project manager and I own [electrician business] Elect Solutions!“By the time we moved Ron in, the interior was about 90 per cent complete.”Now in Stage 2 of the renovation, Cassandra washes clothes from a makeshift laundry out the back. (The current kitchen will become the new laundry / mud room in Stage 3.)<img alt="IMG_6201" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1059" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_6201.width-800.jpg" width="800">Despite the challenges, Cassandra is absolutely in her element. She’s launched her own Instagram page, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/collaborativedesignco/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Collaborative Design Co</a>, detailing her renovation journey. And while she enjoyed the building process when the couple bought their first home in Watson’s Mount Majura development in 2018, she “adores” renovating.“There&#x27;s something really cool about bringing something that&#x27;s a disaster back to life,” she says.“So Tim and I are on different teams: for our next project, Tim would love to buy something, knock it down, rebuild, and I&#x27;m very much about bringing something back to life.“It’ll have to be scissors, paper, rock to decide!”<img alt="IMG_6198" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1061" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_6198.width-800.jpg" width="800">Cassandra’s advice to people considering renovating while they have a bub?“Planning and patience,” she says.“It’s so much easier if your family lives close.”Tim: “Our families have been our saviours, they helped us with demolition and took waste away - small things that made a huge difference.”<img alt="IMG_6206" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_6206.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It&#x27;s really stressful but such a cool challenge,” Cassandra says.“Also, I think our relationship has gotten stronger, and it&#x27;s really cool being able to have Ronnie around and be a part of it as well.“Ultimately, you’re creating something for the future of that little person which is hugely motivating and inspiring.”
