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?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?Here’s what we found.<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">There’s living on the outskirts of Canberra and then there’s living on the outskirts of Canberra. Located less than 20m from the stunning bushland to the north of the capital is this opulent four-bedroom, three-bathroom stunner in Taylor.<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">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.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/53-george-seddon-crescent-taylor-act-2913-95803/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a><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">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.<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">Bragg Street itself is lined with tall oaks and ambers, and close to Brennan Street playground, Mount Majura and Hackett Oval. Imagine being able to say ‘I live in the Eastern suburbs.’<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/14-bragg-street-hackett-act-2602-98484/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a><h3 data-block-key="4lu4n">Song of the south</h3><h4 data-block-key="3ks5q"><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1/32 Smeaton Circuit, Banks</a></h4><img alt="1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523-image-0-20240417024646431141-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">If you love the snow but can’t afford a holiday home in Cooma or Jindabyne, this is as close to the Australian Alps as it gets, while still living in the capital. Number 1/32 Smeaton Circuit is the kind of simple, single-level home that would suit first home buyers as well as downsizers.<img alt="1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523-image-0-20240423054641683292-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523-imag.width-800_b2GrV3x.jpg" width="800">It offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and is just one of two properties on what’s known as a very quiet street. The open-plan living spaces and a very private courtyard with sun-soaked deck are highlights.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1-32-smeaton-circuit-banks-act-2906-99523/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a><h3 data-block-key="59tdf">West side story</h3><h4 data-block-key="bh3jp"><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-village-act-2611-95973/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">31 Jim Bradley Crescent, Uriarra Village</a></h4><img alt="31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-act-2611-95973-image-0-20240222014705748130-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-act-2611-95973.width-800.jpg" width="800">You might venture there occasionally for picnics and swimming in summer, but did you know you can actually live on the shores of the Cotter Dam (or very close to). Beyond far west Canberra lies Uriarra Village, the only community title village in Australia.<img alt="31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-act-2611-95973-image-0-20240222014658660463-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-act-2611-95973.width-800_dR6VLQs.jpg" width="800">The village consists of just 100 dwellings and the community independently owns and maintains village services and infrastructure including roads, community lands, the village hall, and stormwater. Number 31 Jim Bradley is arguably “the pick of the bunch” of homes in the village: set on over 3000m2 with northerly views to the Brindabellas.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/31-jim-bradley-crescent-uriarra-village-act-2611-95973/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/lj-hooker-tuggeranong/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LJ Hooker Tuggeranong</a> principal <a href="/agents/andrew-curren/">Andrew Curren</a> says while some homes can be unassuming, this one has “real wow factor” from the minute you arrive.“It really is quite a spectacular first impression,” Andrew says.“You feel like you’re in a really peaceful, rural setting but you can still drive to the city in about 25 minutes.”The home sits on the verge of farmland with uninterrupted views towards the Brindabella Mountains, while the nearby historic Lanyon Homestead ensures the home won’t lose its unique edge.<img alt="49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-image-0-20230804013239134457-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-im.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Depending on the time of the year, cows do come very, very close to the house,” Andrew explains.“There’s certainly kangaroos down there too and lots of native birdlife.”The home’s yard invites the birdlife to come even closer, with low-maintenance (thanks to a built-in irrigation system) landscaped gardens and fruit trees framing the property.Scenic walking and biking trails, including Mount Rob Roy, are also on your doorstep. As are quality local schools, the Tuggeranong Town Centre and Lanyon Marketplace.<img alt="49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-image-0-20230804013240433468-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-im.width-800_MPnLDxE.jpg" width="800">“The privacy and the quietness of the location is one thing, but then the two-storey, large 250sqm property is very special as well,” Andrew explains.The home’s architectural flair, courtesy of designer Oztal Architects, is apparent from the moment you enter beneath an eye-catching circular window. Six-metre ceilings extend from the entryway through to the formal lounge and dining area, with large windows framing views out towards the Brindabellas.“That feeling of grandeur is very unique,” Andrew says.“Normally you might have windows looking at the neighbours, but instead you’re looking straight down into the valley.”<img alt="49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-image-0-20230804013242120599-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-im.width-800_D6JLbi2.jpg" width="800">The formal lounge is the first of four living spaces, perfectly suiting the home to families who want the flexibility to entertain guests, while also keeping their kids entertained.For entertaining family and friends, the place to be is the north-facing open-plan family and meals area with its top-of-the-line kitchen and access to two outdoor entertaining decks.A few steps away and you’re in the kids’ realm, complete with rumpus room, three double bedrooms with built-in robes, and a family bathroom with spa bath and rain shower.<img alt="49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-image-0-20230804013243674966-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-im.width-800_U2bY5zO.jpg" width="800">But the best is reserved for the parents, with the entire upper floor of the home forming an expansive master wing featuring a king-sized bedroom with a built-in robe, luxury ensuite and a large, private living area.“I’d call it a parents’ retreat, where the parents can get away and have their own time,” Andrew says.“Or it could be used as another living area or an oversized home office.”<img alt="49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-image-0-20230804013244397766-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099-im.width-800_fNlKhVJ.jpg" width="800">The home includes ducted gas heating, air conditioning and evaporative cooling and a double remote access garage with an insulated wine cellar.“I’m encouraging people to get out of the mindset that everyone has to live in the central parts of Canberra,” Andrew explains.“There are some really good offerings in this area.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">49 Olive Pink Crescent, Banks</a>, is for sale for $1.25 million.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/49-olive-pink-crescent-banks-act-2906-84099/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/call-this-architect-designed-home-among-the-gum-trees-with-real-wow-factor-your-own/690438" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Riotact</a>.

She had done a decorating course in the past too, so she knows her colours really well and how to make the home stylish.”<img alt="2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-71588-image-0-20221130031634328353-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-7158.width-800_jrJ9VC6.jpg" width="800">The Banks home is also fitted with ducted evaporative cooling, electric heaters and downlights throughout.The light-filled kitchen features high cupboards, a double pantry and a breakfast bar, and is located in the heart of the home.“The kitchen was updated eight years ago,” Betty says.“The double round sinks were added, and it has a stunning outlook to the garden.&quot;<img alt="2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-71588-image-0-20221130031636634778-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-7158.width-800_V5oYdaN.jpg" width="800">All bedrooms have their own built-in robes, while a double linen closet features in the hallway.“The master bedroom is quite large, and the other two are your standard-sized bedrooms,” Betty says.“They’re all designed with warm tones in mind and offer natural light to flood through.“There&#x27;s only one bathroom in this home, with a separate toilet. It has a chandelier hanging above it, which makes it quite unique too.”<img alt="2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-71588-image-0-20221130031638500649-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/2-47-bellchambers-crescent-banks-act-2906-7158.width-800_cfMIhAF.jpg" width="800">The stunning gardens offer so many places to sit and relax.“Outdoors, you&#x27;ll find a full-length paved and covered outdoor entertaining area, which showcases the gardens around it,” Betty says.“The gardens are just stunning.
