Set on a generous 871m² block opposite a leafy green reserve, this much-loved Duffy home has been cherished by the same owner since 2001. Offering versatile family living, a separate study and additional flexible space downstairs, it provides plenty of room to grow, complemented by gorgeous established gardens and a peaceful setting.
THE HOME
The main level offers three bedrooms, a fourth bedroom/study and two bathrooms. A formal entry leads through to an impressive lounge room with a gas log fireplace and adjoining enclosed verandah, while the updated kitchen enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear garden and adjoins the dining area.
The living areas flow naturally from one to another, creating generous spaces for everyday family life and entertaining.
Lovingly maintained by its current owner for more than two decades, the gardens are a particularly special part of the home. Bulbs planted throughout bring seasonal surprises, adding colour at different times of the year and attracting an array of visiting birds.
The large covered pergola creates a wonderful outdoor setting for family gatherings, birthday celebrations or simply enjoying the garden throughout the seasons.
Downstairs, the original double garage has been adapted to provide an additional multi-purpose space, offering flexibility for a home business, hobby room or storage. Extensive under-house storage adds to the practicality, while a single carport provides covered parking. For those needing additional garaging, there is also the possibility of converting the downstairs area back to its original garage configuration.
THE LOCATION
With a green reserve practically on the doorstep, this is a great location for enjoying the outdoors. Cooleman Ridge and Stromlo Forest Park are close by, with the mountain biking trails, community garden and dog park all within easy reach. Duffy Primary School, local shops, parks and playgrounds are also nearby.
Everyday convenience is well covered, with Cooleman Court and Woden Town Centre offering a wide range of shopping, dining, medical and professional services. There is easy access to Woden and the Canberra CBD, while Duffy's established streets, generous blocks and strong community feel make it a popular choice for families.
FROM THE SELLER
"What I love most about my home is the many lively family gatherings we have enjoyed over the years. I love sitting at breakfast watching the tiny finches flying in and out of the trees, and seeing the colourful parrots come to visit.
I have especially enjoyed the garden, with different bulbs bringing colour at different times of the year. I have been blessed in so many ways during the years I have lived here.
It is a home full of light and lots of space for a growing family. I hope the buyer enjoys my home as much as I have, but I know it is time for me to downsize and let someone else enjoy it."
