When you find a north-facing, solar passive, freestanding townhouse that's one of only five in a complex and within walking distance of great retail centres, you'd rightly suspect you're onto a good thing.

When you open the door at 176 Dexter St and see the quality of the interiors and the charming, low-maintenance garden beyond, your suspicions are positively confirmed.

This is a home of comfort, style and benefits from the northerly aspect particularly during the winter months with the sun streaming into all the bedrooms and living room adding additional warmth and providing lovely areas to read and relax.

A well-designed layout has a stylish sunken lounge with raked ceiling to the left and sightlines through an arch to the raised dining room and adjacent kitchen.

It's just three short steps up to these rooms that provide convenient access to the covered outdoor patio, making indoor/outdoor entertaining seamless.

The bright, white kitchen has views to the backyard and is equipped with a stainless-steel Bosch wall oven, Miele ceramic hob and microwave niche.

The generous master bedroom is quietly positioned away from the living areas and has sliding glass windows that provide access to the front garden. A wall of built-in wardrobes and an updated ensuite with walk-in shower make this a relaxing retreat.

Bedrooms two and three also face the leafy front garden and have built-in wardrobes and convenient access to the renovated main bathroom and separate toilet.

Make your friends and family envious. Leave the car at home and walk two minutes to Jamison Plaza, 10 minutes to Belconnen markets, popular Cook shops, or take advantage of excellent public transport for a quick trip to Westfield Belconnen or the city.

PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY WILL GO TO AUCTION ON SATURDAY 1ST MAY, ON SITE AT 10.00AM
