Auction Location: Online Auction

Peacefully positioned in a picturesque, family friendly cul de sac lined with mature trees, you will be glad you have discovered this tightly held place with a large & free-standing home on a generous 1054m2 block.

In the heart of the home is the kitchen with ample bench & preparation space, cupboard space and with a new cook top and rangehood.

The interior has been loved by the family for over four decades and has seen many Christmas lunches and birthday celebrations and has watched both children and grandchildren grow. There is plenty of space for the whole family to relax and unwind, with a lounge and dining room at the front, and separate family room at the rear off the kitchen.

The generous Master Bedroom can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and bedside tables, with a hallway door creating extra separation and privacy. It is serviced by its own ensuite. The 3 additional bedrooms are all of a generous size and have built in robes and surround the large main bathroom.

Externally, this lovingly cared for home has a beautifully established backyard to allow a tranquil vista from the inside looking out and hideout from the neighbours. You can enjoy a BBQ and watch the kids & family pet frolic in the summer sun. There is also 4 garden sheds and a converted cubby house for all your favourite tools. The large covered deck is every entertainer's delight and allows you to enjoy the outdoors year-round and is the perfect spot for your house warming party.

Magnetite window insulation on all windows throughout the house, reverse cycle air conditioning, wood fireplace and ducted gas heating keep the property warm in winter and cool in summer all whilst keeping the bills low. The excellent EER rating of 5.5 stars reflects the quality insulation throughout.

The studio under the main house is the perfect spot for your hobbies, a parent's retreat, a man cave or a teenager's hideout. It is well equipped with power and lights and is currently wired up to show case art.
Orchard Place is the place to live. Family life is easy living here. When you don't feel like driving, the nearby bus stops (2) provide a quick route to Belconnen Town Centre with cycle paths for bike rides & family adventures at Mount Rogers Reserve. When you don't feel like cooking, you'll love the ever-popular local restaurants and takeaway shops at Melba or Florey, or drive for 2 minutes to the local Woolworths and ample more eateries in nearby Charnwood for the convenient drop-in on the way home from work. With tennis courts and ovals nearby, you will be wondering why you didn't move to Orchard Place sooner!
