A WORD FROM OUR SELLERS:
"Living at 9/8 Powlett Street in Kaleen has been such a wonderful experience for our family. We purchased this property off-the-plan and waited several years for it to be completed - and when we finally moved in, it instantly felt like home. The attention to detail, the warmth, the modern design, and the sense of calm here made the wait absolutely worth it.
We've loved our lifestyle here - the location is unbeatable. Everything you need is within walking distance. There's a local vet, Coles and Superbarn, Australia Post, two pharmacies, and our favourite spot, U&Co Cafe, where the owner Michael knows everyone by name. Saturday mornings at the café, riding our bikes with the kids or walking our dog along the well-lit footpaths, have become little rituals we truly treasure. The street is quiet, with only local traffic, and there's beautiful open green space nearby. It genuinely feels like a connected, friendly community.
One of my favourite things about this home is the outlook - from the bedroom window you can see gum trees and the reserve, which changes beautifully with the seasons. Winter sunsets through that large picture window are breath taking.
Inside, the home has been incredibly comfortable. Double-glazed windows and ducted heating and cooling keep it warm in winter and cool in summer - it's made a huge difference to our daily life here in Canberra. We love the butler's pantry for keeping everything neat and out of sight. The floor plan offers plenty of space for everyone, with upstairs and downstairs living areas for privacy and flexibility. The bedrooms are generous with excellent storage, and the bathrooms are spacious and beautifully finished.
The people in the complex are also a big part of why we've loved living here - a wonderful mix of young families and long-term residents. Kids play basketball together in the shared driveway, neighbours stop for a chat, and there is a real feeling of safety, friendliness, and respect.
Getting around is easy. We're only a short bike ride to Kaleen Primary, Maribyrnong Primary, and St Michael's Primary, and multiple bus stops nearby make travelling around town - including to Southside schools like Marist - really convenient. Both our boys attended local schools and could safely walk or ride their bikes each day.
Kaleen has such a welcoming feel - it's a community where people know each other, look out for one another, and take pride in the area. We will truly miss living here. For us, this home has been far more than just a place to live; it has given us comfort, connection, and a genuine sense of belonging."
