Going to Nan and Pop’s house was always a visceral experience: a feeling of home away from home. Plush carpet and smooth lino underfoot, glossy laminate benchtops and pastel bathrooms. Outside the smell of fresh cut grass while you spent summers in a blow-up pool or swinging on the hills hoist.
This wrap of listings that look just like Nan and Pop's house will take you straight back into your pajama-wearing, cartoon-watching, Arnotts Assorted biscuits-eating childhood.
This dual level home was definitely once home to rich grandparents - it even has a bidet!

Glossy parquetry floors underfoot bring a timeless addition to the open plan living and dining areas.
The kitchen and bathrooms marry contemporary comforts with nan and pop's vintage vibes. Downstairs is an expansive storage and workshop area ideal for tinkering with cars or turning into a studio. Outdoors presents beautiful stone pavement all the way to an entertaining area perfect for family Chistmases and Easters.
This Nan and Pop home has had a spiffy update while retaining the features we love, like a good sized carport and a hills hoist. And how about the soap dishes in the shower, and the timber curtain pelmets in the bedrooms?!
The layout of this five-bedroom home allows for a children’s wing with bathroom and a totally private master retreat. The timber kitchen is the central hub to the flexible living and meals areas. The substantial alfresco space at the rear of the home is fully enclosed and allows for the perfect indoor/outdoor lifestyle, catering to all the Canberran elements.
A classic Canberra dwelling in the much-loved Waniassa hills. The bathroom and kitchen are still in their full 1970s glory: featuring sunshine yellow laminate benchtops and yellow bathroom highlights (namely, toilet seat).

The master suite - aka nan's bedroom - is also on this level, with built-in robes, ensuite and its own private deck.
This is the Nan and Pop that had a farmhouse, where you spent school holidays filled with animals and adventures. Three hectares of beautiful Banjo Creek land in the Yass Valley. A true country cottage, built in 1945 and featuring original charming features: french doors, double hung windows, picture rails and a white picket fence.
The green garden and lawns leads you down to the bubbling creek and horse lovers will adore the full size dressage arena, two horse stables with yards and paddocks with shelters.
This three-bedroom, one-bathroom home is as cute as can be. Floor to ceiling timber framed windows in the living areas and bedrooms fill the home with sunshine and provide views of the surrounding gardens. The contemporary kitchen boasts Bosch gas cooking, stone bench tops, soft close drawers, dishwasher, and underfloor gas heating.
The bathroom has been recently renovated and has a separate toilet. Outside features immaculate mature gardens ideal for the keen gardener. It even has a vintage hills hoist for the kids to swing on! Moments from Lake Ginninderra, University of Canberra and the Belconnen town centre.
