Long-Held Family Home Must Be Sold to Make Way for a Tree Change

The current owners are ready to embrace a rural lifestyle and need to sell this much-loved home to take the next step.

Set in a peaceful, family-friendly loop in Dunlop, this brick-built residence across a 492m² block (built in 2003) has been in the same hands for almost 20 years and is now vacant and ready to move in. With a reliable income history behind it and solid bones throughout, it's a versatile option for families, first-home buyers, downsizers or investors looking for quiet convenience.

The location is a highlight, just a seven-minute walk to the local Dunlop shops and supermarket, with a playground and kid-friendly coffee van right at the corner. A scenic 4km loop around West Belconnen Pond, passing through parks, playgrounds and leafy paths, starts from the shops and is a favourite for dog walkers and families alike.
