In a quiet, tree lined street just moments from Mount Taylor, this charming Chifley home sits on a generous 881m² block and presents one of the most appealing entry level opportunities into tightly held Woden Valley.
Start the day with a walk through the reserve. Grab coffee at Chifley Shops. Spend the afternoon in a backyard with room to grow. It's easy to understand why this pocket remains so consistently sought after.
Inside, warmth and character are immediate. Timber floors, stained glass accents and a slow combustion fireplace anchor the living space, creating a home that feels inviting in every season. Large windows draw in natural light and greenery, reinforcing the relaxed cottage feel.
The kitchen has been tastefully updated with stone benchtops, electric cooking and generous storage. It connects effortlessly to the covered rear deck, making everyday living and entertaining simple and seamless.
Accommodation includes three comfortable bedrooms, two with built in robes. The bathroom is a genuine feature, with heritage style patterned floor tiles, classic white wall tiling and stained glass windows adding personality and charm. A bathtub and updated vanity keep it practical, while a separate toilet adds everyday convenience.
Step outside and the scale of the block really comes into its own. Established trees, lush lawn space, a sandpit, cubby house and chicken coop create a backyard that feels expansive and usable - a true haven for kids. For younger couples starting out, families wanting space, or downsizers still craving a garden, the balance here is hard to find.
A large shed provides excellent storage or workshop flexibility - ideal as a gym, studio, or simply a place to tinker.
Move straight in and enjoy the character. Update over time if you choose. Or simply secure a substantial landholding in one of Woden Valley's most desirable suburbs.
In Chifley, position and block size are what protect long term value. This is your chance to secure both.
