Overview

Because Adulting Shouldn’t Feel Like a Prison Sentence

Tired of fake-perfect houses or those that have been ‘renovated’ by not so handy owners over the years? This brick family home is solid and genuine — no filters, no nonsense, just desirable bones and honest character that you don’t need to sell a kidney to afford. What you get: • Classic kitchen that’s been keeping it real since the 80’s with that warm woodgrain energy • Proper separate living, dining and family room setup — perfect for when the whole family is home and you need zones to hide in • Covered entertaining area - rain, hail, or that one Canberra day that tries to be both, you’re still out there living your best life • A backyard with established trees and garden beds ready for your green-thumb ambitions (or ambitious neglect) • A double garage that’s bigger than some 1-bedroom apartments nowadays Honest disclosures: Con: The driveway is only half concreted and has some cracks (it’s earned its stripes). Pro: There is not a single crack in the brickwork (they don’t build them like they used to anymore!) and you can move in after new carpet and fresh paint – everything is sound But that’s the beauty of this place — good bones, loads of potential, and zero pretence. It’s not trying to be a glossy Instagram renovation. It’s a proper family home in a quiet Latham pocket, ready for someone who wants space, character, and a green light to make it their own. Perfect for: • Families wanting space without the ridiculous price tag • Handy types who enjoy a weekend project (or know a good concreter) • People who value “good bones” over perfection 3 Magennis Place — where the only thing cracked is the driveway (and occasionally my sense of humour).
