<p data-block-key="mtu4w">Hands up if you still say ‘Never Eat Soggy Weetbix’ in your head when you’re trying to tell your east from your west. No? Just me?</p><p data-block-key="dcet6">Looking over this week’s listings inspired us to review properties at the very edges of our fair city. How far north can you live without jumping the border into NSW? What’s the southern most property available if you’re a keen snowboarder? And what actually are the eastern suburbs of Canberra?</p><p data-block-key="a5ta">Here’s what we found.</p><h3 data-block-key="1rqor">The north star</h3><h4 data-block-key="6cj6u"><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-95803/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">53 George Seddon Crescent, Taylor</a></h4><img alt="53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-95803-image-0-20240320040232041770-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-9580.width-800.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="5kmed">There’s living on the outskirts of Canberra and then there’s <i>living on the outskirts of Canberra</i>. Located less than 20m from the stunning bushland to the north of the capital is this opulent four-bedroom, three-bathroom stunner in Taylor.</p><img alt="53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-95803-image-0-20240320040231769380-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-9580.width-800_lcLL1I3.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="7loa6">With an interior to rival a five-star hotel, 53 George Seddon Crescent is all about sleek lines and a neutral colour palette, highlighted with masculine black accents. With 3.6m ceilings, a luxury facade and located in a small enclave surrounded by the bush, this home is literally Canberra at its very best.</p><p data-block-key="dja9p"><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-95803/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a></p><h3 data-block-key="609hp">East of Eden</h3><h4 data-block-key="64bmr"><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">14 Bragg Street, Hackett</a></h4><img alt="14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484-image-0-20240328030200344083-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="3cs7e">The eastern suburbs of many Australian cities are the most glamorous: think St. Kilda in Melbourne and Coogee in Sydney. The most eastern address listed on Zango right now is in Hackett; and while there are no beachside cafes and bikini-clad people in sight, it’s a suburb embraced by the bush with some eclectic shops at its heart.</p><img alt="14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484-image-0-20240328030202040014-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484-image-0.width-800_g7igOgE.jpg" width="800"><p data-block-key="8sa4m">Bragg Street itself is lined with tall oaks and ambers, and close to Brennan Street playground, Mount Majura and Hackett Oval.
