Imagine waking to a chorus of carolling magpies each morning or the distinctive throaty cry of red wattle birds, attracted to the abundant flora on this suburban plot? Then meander to your own "My Kitchen Rules" kitchen, boil the billy on the gas cook top & sip your hot cuppa on the covered front veranda, savouring the gently undulating parkland across the road, dotted with towering ancient gums. The hollows in these magnificent trees are currently in great demand as nesting sites for the many species of parrots that abound in this area. It was not that long ago that this land played host to vast flocks of Merinos & smaller mobs of Eastern Greys. And this tranquil utopia still has all the conveniences of modern living, being an easy stroll to the local shops or a short drive to the Belconnen Town Centre or Kippax, with all their respective amenities.
The charming home itself was built in 1969 when revered Germanic builders reigned supreme in this district. It has undergone quite a facelift since then but still retains its original character. The three bedrooms are all generously sized with built-ins in two & the main being especially large with ample room for additional furnishings. Attractively tiled living areas are complemented by modern inserts selectively cut into the plasterboard walls - excellent spaces to highlight your favourite pieces. The bathroom won't disappoint either - being extensively revamped a few years back. The neutral theme throughout is an excellent backdrop for splashes of colour here and there, the next residents able to put their own stamp upon it.
There is also another covered timber deck abutting the residence in the back garden, bathed in northerly sun & overlooking the fenced vegetable garden - largely fallow now but awaiting a new crop of tomatoes, beans & the like. Car enthusiasts or hobbyists should also be pleased with the enclosed double carport & large lock-up storage shed behind. The grounds are quite leafy & private but are yet to reach their full potential - a mouth-watering prospect for an avid gardener. The block size is a very manageable 685 square metres. Young children & the family dog(s) should be safely contained as well & enjoy the mix of shade & sunlight that features.
