With a playground and Wombats Playschool just up the street, 16 Macadam Street is well placed for the years when little legs set the pace. This fully renovated three-bedroom home sits on a 629m² block, with a grassed backyard for play, a pergola for getting everyone together and a separate studio for work or time to yourself.
Completed in March 2025, the renovations have taken care of the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Hybrid timber flooring connects the interiors, and updated LED lighting carries through the home. For first home buyers or a young family, there's the satisfaction of unpacking knowing the work is already done.
The open-plan kitchen keeps whoever's cooking part of the conversation. Stone benchtops and a breakfast bar provide space for preparing dinner and pulling up a stool, with Bosch appliances handling the practical side. Pendant lights and black subway tiles give the room definition without overcomplicating it.
In the bathroom, floor-to-ceiling tiles sit alongside a floating vanity, freestanding bath and separate shower with a rainfall head. The renovated laundry has direct outdoor access, while ducted evaporative cooling and a split-system unit help keep daily life comfortable.
Outside, the pergola and paved area are ready for an outdoor table or lounge setting. Lunch can carry on while the kids play on the grass, with enough yard for a trampoline, family pets and a game of backyard cricket. It's somewhere to gather for birthdays and Christmas, and somewhere you'll use on an ordinary Tuesday.
The separate rear studio gives you options as life changes. A home office where you can close the door at the end of the day. A gym with room to leave the equipment set up. A place for hobbies or watching the footy with friends. It gives those activities their own space while keeping the home's three bedrooms available.
Walk up the street to playschool or the playground, make a short trip into Belconnen for the shopping, or take the bikes down to Lake Ginninderra on the weekend. It's an established neighbourhood where a young family can find its routine.
For young families wanting a proper backyard and playschool up the street.
For first home buyers wanting the renovations already done.
For investors seeking an updated home with the flexibility of a separate studio.
