Expansive family haven that offers more downtime

If you are searching for a home offering more space but a smaller and more manageable garden, this could be the one. Benefitting from green views around its corner block but without the associated time-sink of maintenance, it's a boon for better work/life balance.

Off the entry, the formal lounge room has a gorgeous bay window that looks out on to a verandah screened by the front yard's magic low-maintenance greenery. Adjacent is the formal dining room where views to the rear take in the mature easy-care azaleas and rhododendrons fringing an alfresco area laid to slate.

There's great flow from the kitchen through the meals and family area out to this rear terrace lending a decidedly Mediterranean air where leisurely lunches cruise into dinners beneath a convenient retractable awning.

The kids are well provided for with five spacious bedrooms, one of which has its own entrance and could be used as a rumpus, TV room or home office. Nestled away from the action is the master where a walk-through wardrobe and updated ensuite offer up indispensable privacy.

A double garage and dedicated parking for an additional two cars makes transit simpler and with multiple schools and colleges within a 10-minute drive and great commuter access to both the city and Belconnen office precincts, getting to and from is a cinch. Alternatively, leave the cars at home and take an easy stroll to the Jamison Centre, the Aranda or Cook shops where you'll discover destination cafes and bars that are among the locals favourites.
