Some homes suit where you are now. Others give you room for everything that comes next.
At 40 Alpen Street, it's easy to picture the everyday moments: preparing dinner while catching up on the day, children playing in the backyard, and a quiet evening in your own living space once the house settles down.
For families ready to move beyond a smaller home, there's space to spread out and enjoy time together. For couples looking ahead, the extra bedrooms offer room for working from home, welcoming guests and, perhaps, a growing family.
With a full renovation completed in 2023, you can spend your weekends settling in, exploring the neighbourhood and making memories in a home that's ready for its next chapter.
THE HOME
Set on an approximately 761m² block, this single-level home brings together refreshed interiors and a layout that gives everyone room to breathe.
Two separate living areas mean a movie in one room doesn't have to interrupt a conversation in the other. There's space to come together, entertain friends or find a quiet corner of your own.
The kitchen sits at the heart of daily life, with practical preparation space and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher to make the clean-up easier. Four bedrooms provide flexibility as your needs change, while two bathrooms help keep busy mornings moving.
Split-system heating and cooling in the lounge and two bedrooms adds comfort through the seasons, complemented by solar panels and curtains for privacy.
Outside, the generous garden offers room for backyard games, a vegetable patch or simply an afternoon spent in the fresh air. A double garage provides secure parking and space for storage, tools and weekend hobbies.
THE LOCATION
An established neighbourhood makes it easier to put down roots.
With Mount Rogers Primary School and Melba Copland Secondary School nearby, along with local parks, shops and recreational facilities, Melba offers the everyday connections that matter to family life.
Belconnen Town Centre is within convenient reach for shopping, dining and weekend outings, while access to the University of Canberra, surrounding employment centres and public transport keeps the working week practical.
It's a place to build new routines-and feel at home for years to come.
