This charming family home has all you need and more. North facing and solid double brick, this home was thoughtfully designed and constructed by a builder building for his own family. Situated in a quiet, well-maintained street, there is a leafy park and nature area diagonally across the road, the Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve 200m away, and many other nature walks at your doorstep.
Comprising of 170m² of living the home is flooded with natural light from the floor to ceiling windows in all 3 bedrooms and both living/dining areas. The sunroom off the master bedroom warms the home in Canberra's cold winters and is a lovely space to soak up the sun, with plenty of space for it to be used as an additional sitting area and/or a study. Electric block-out shutters keep this area cool in summer, as does the reverse cycle split system in the master bedroom. Zoned ducted heating plus two electric wall heaters warm the home in winter and work off of the 4.5kw solar panels.
All three bedrooms are spacious and have in-built floor-to-ceiling wardrobes as well as recently replaced high-end pure wool carpets. Additional floor-to-ceiling storage can be found in the entrance area, laundry and main bathroom, as well as the garages. The main bathroom has two vanities, a bath, shower, separate toilet, skylight, and 2 huge floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards. The second Jack and Jill bathroom has a shower, vanity and toilet, and is accessed from both the second and third bedrooms. The laundry is accessed out the back and is connected to the main bathroom via a laundry chute.
The kitchen looks out to the back garden and has a large island bench which allows for bar stools and kitchen meals. It also boasts a large walk-in pantry, 2 ovens, electric stove-top and ample cupboard storage.
Both living areas are light and spacious and have room for various configurations of dining and living.
All lights throughout the home have recently been replaced with LED downlights.
Nestled on an 810m² block there is a native front garden and a cottage garden out the back, including very productive apple, pomegranate and citrus trees, fertile vegetable and herb patches, a huge natural sandpit, as well a chook pen enclosure and ample lawn space for a trampoline, swing-set and running around. The large, paved patio area extends from the kitchen making it perfect for entertaining and summer barbecues. A garden/ work shed is located next to the double garage.
This home is in the catchment for Kaleen Primary School and is also within walking distance to St Michaels Catholic School, both with excellent reputations. You will also be able to walk 900m to the Kaleen Plaza which has Coles, a chemist, butcher, cafes, post office, bakery, a news agency and more. A 200m walk will get you to both Dickson and Belconnen bus routes, and a few short minutes away is the University of Canberra, the new University of Canberra Rehab hospital, Calvary Hospital and the AIS.
