O'Connor ACT 2602

Auction Location: On-Site. Moments spent with the family are often the most special and memorable. The surrounding warmth, the sounds and the general feelings typically highlight these memories. Where better to have these memories than at your own home. The feeling of sitting on your expansive rear deck with some views to Mt Majura, the northern sun beaming down, watching the kids play Marco Polo in the pool, whilst a feast like spread is being laid out behind you in the sun filled sitting room. These are the memories you could begin to create for yourself in what is a gorgeous home in the heart of O'Connor. This home with a modern feel and a few traditional touches is an entertainer's dream. From the moment you enter the home you are immediately led towards the wonderfully sized living room that is accompanied by sleek polished bamboo flooring that draws your eye straight to the sun drenched sitting room and the large rear deck that overlooks the huge 12m swimming pool and established native garden sanctuary, where you will often have visits from the local O'Connor wildlife. The core of the home is embodied by space. With 3 generously sized bedrooms and a large galley style kitchen fitted with a gas stovetop fit for a master chef. The main bedroom is accompanied by a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite, with a traditional vibe that is as comforting as it is retro. The second and third bedrooms are both accompanied by built in wardrobes. The second bedroom features a built in desk alongside an ideally positioned north-facing window, which is an ideal position for the home office or study in this modern era of working from home. For those that require a little more office space, want to feel like they are leaving for work even when working from home, or just somewhere to put the teen in your life; the stand alone, fully self-contained studio is ideal for you. With its own kitchen, living space and flat/bedroom it makes an ideal business from home situation or teenagers retreat, for when they begin to crave that individuality. The property itself is incredibly versatile. Spread across 1,173 square meters of land (North to the rear), there is plenty of space to extend or even knock it down and start again to create your dream home. However, you are already set up for success with 3kw of solar on the coveted 45c tariff that stays with the home. This makes life a breeze and is more than enough to cater for the five reverse cycle units that keep the living area and bedrooms comfortable all year round. The location is almost second to none being located in the catchment zone for both Turner primary and the ever-sought-after Lyneham High. Set high within the suburb with views and the potential for more. You are situated a 5 minute drive away from the ANU and even closer to one of the friendliest local shops in Canberra at the buzzing O'Connor precinct, which is also home to the award winning Duxton for those times when entertaining at home is all too much. Don't miss your chance to secure one of the finest homes and locations Canberra's Inner North has to offer. Contact Stephen Bunday today to arrange an inspection.
