Last Listing description (July 2024)

Please note, if not sold prior, this property will be going to auction on site, 12:30pm, Wednesday 31st July 2024. The advertised price guide is there to help give buyers a bracket to work from and can be updated as the campaign progresses. Offers prior to auction welcomed.

At just 13 years old, this immaculate home has a modern fit out and will appeal to downsizers and families alike while also providing a strong rental return and future capital growth for investors. Spacious three-bedroom homes in Forde are very tightly held and this, coupled with its quiet location across from reserve and less than 100m to a pond, make it a standout.

Positioned in a quiet street with little through traffic this home is located just 100m to a local pond and there are walking and biking trails all through the suburb. In fact, the local shops and local Bergman campus are less than 1 km away along undulating walking paths making it easy for the kids to get to and from school without needing to be driven each day.

The suburb itself is also bordered by the Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary nature reserve offering a picturesque place to hike, exercise the dog or ride a bike all year round. In addition, the ACT government has committed 20 million to develop a football Facility to the South of the suburb (off Bettong Av) including multiple outdoor football fields and indoor futsal courts. So, if you have a sporting, outdoors, adventure loving family this has the location you are after, no more bored kids wanting to play computer games on the weekends.
