Since 1973, this home has been at the centre of one family's life in Hawker. Built by the original owners and held ever since, it has witnessed decades of change while remaining a place of consistency, comfort and connection.
Set directly opposite a park in one of the suburb's most tightly held streets, the position has always been something special. With no homes across the road and a generous block surrounding it, there's a wonderful sense of openness and privacy that's increasingly rare to find.
Over the years, the home became known not just to the family, but to the wider neighbourhood - especially at Christmas, when lights, reindeers and a Santa sleigh transformed the front yard into a festive landmark. It's a home that has quietly fostered community, celebration and everyday family life in equal measure.
Thoughtfully cared for and recently refreshed, it now stands ready for its next chapter.
THE HOME
Designed for practical family living, the layout offers multiple living areas that provide both connection and separation when needed. The open plan kitchen and family room form the heart of the home, while the main lounge room is segregated and enjoys peaceful views across the backyard.
The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances, including a Bosch cooktop, Miele Cleanmade Classic oven, and LG Direct Drive dishwasher - blending reliability with functionality.
The main bedroom features a walk-through robe and a private ensuite. The additional three bedrooms all include built-in wardrobes, and the main bathroom offers a bath and separate toilet, ideal for busy households.
Recent improvements completed in 2025 have refreshed the home throughout, including brand new flooring, carpet and curtains, as well as fresh paint inside and out. A dedicated lawn watering system keeps the gardens looking their best year-round, while newly landscaped front gardens further enhance the home's street appeal.
Comfort has also been carefully considered, with Carrier reverse cycle heating and cooling servicing the lounge, a Daikin reverse cycle unit in the family room, insulated Sarking throughout the roof, and solar panels supporting energy efficiency.
Outdoors, the natural sandstone entertaining area provides a welcoming space to host family and friends, while the pond and waterfall create a peaceful backyard retreat that has been enjoyed for decades.
THE LOCATION
The location is one of Hawker's greatest strengths. The openness at the front of the home creates a rare sense of space, while still being moments from everyday conveniences.
Hawker is uniquely positioned with three schools within the suburb, covering kindergarten through to college - making school drop-offs simple and stress-free. Belconnen Town Centre is just minutes away, along with local shops, cafés, medical services, and sporting facilities.
Multiple access points to major roads ensure an easy commute to the city, surrounding business districts, and even weekend escapes to the coast.
This is a home that offers more than just accommodation - it offers a lifestyle defined by community, convenience, and a genuine sense of belonging. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, it now stands ready to welcome its next family and a whole new collection of memories.
