In a quiet loop street in Gowrie, within walking distance of both local primary schools, this home combines an established family setting with a floorplan that is difficult to find. For the owners, the balance made it special: separately positioned bedrooms gave everyone their own space, while the central kitchen and living area kept the family connected.
The understated frontage gives little away about the 244m² of living inside. Formal lounge and dining rooms capture an elevated easterly outlook with mountain views, while raked ceilings and large windows bring light and openness. A wood fireplace adds warmth to the central living area through Canberra winters.
The kitchen sits at the heart of daily life, with generous bench space, ample storage and a natural connection to the family area. This was where the owners caught up with their children between busy schedules, prepared meals and spent time together. Vinyl timber flooring, new carpet, fresh paint and new lighting give the interiors a refreshed finish.
As their children grew into teenagers, the separate spaces became even more valuable. Dual study and home office areas provided somewhere to concentrate, while the rumpus hosted games, birthdays and friends without taking over the main living rooms. The layout lets different routines happen comfortably at once, with flexibility as the household's needs change.
The main bedroom suite was the owners' favourite space. Positioned behind the bed, the walk-through ensuite gives it the feel of a private luxury hotel retreat. Double basins and a dual shower make mornings easy, while the bath offers somewhere to unwind at the end of the day.
Direct backyard access adds to the suite's sense of retreat. A second bedroom with its own ensuite provides independence for older children or visiting family, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the main bathroom. It is a thoughtful arrangement that gives privacy a place alongside shared family life.
Outside, bi-fold doors open from the family area to the covered pergola. Relaxed barbecues. Birthdays with friends. An afternoon around the table. Established, low-maintenance gardens frame the outdoor spaces, leaving more time to enjoy them.
The neighbourhood mattered just as much to the owners. Friendly waves, familiar faces and neighbours willing to lend a hand created a community they will miss. Gowrie Primary and Holy Family Primary are within walking distance, with local parks and playgrounds nearby for time outside after school. Gowrie shops and Common Grounds café add everyday convenience and a familiar place to stop for coffee.
