About this property

In November 2015, the homeowner found themselves at the beginning of a new chapter. Life was changing, and owning a place of their own felt like the right next step. They were drawn to something comfortable, private and easy to settle into - a home with a decent backyard for their beloved dog to run, and a quiet street. From the beginning, there was a genuine sense of pride in unlocking the front door each day, knowing the home was theirs. After adding a covered pergola, the BBQ area became a regular part of the weekend routine, with more time spent outdoors with family and friends. The walking trails around Dunlop gradually became part of that routine as well - morning walks, fresh air in the cooler months, and the kind of exercise that clears the head before the day begins. Over time, it was these simple habits - the calm of the street, the familiar surroundings, the sense of quiet - that shaped their happiest memories here. When asked what they will miss most, the answer is simple: the peace. The stillness of the street. And the comfort of coming home to somewhere that always felt safe and settled. THE HOME Inside, the home offers a practical three-bedroom layout that has simply worked well over time. The lounge room has been the main place to unwind, with a reverse cycle split system handling Canberra's extremes. A second split system in the main bedroom provides added climate control where it's appreciated most. The kitchen is functional and reliable, fitted with a gas cooktop, electric oven and dishwasher - well suited to everyday cooking and relaxed weekend gatherings. It's a space that supports the rhythm of daily life, from weeknight dinners to preparing food for a BBQ before heading outside. Over the years, thoughtful additions have made the home feel more settled. Handmade blockout curtains were installed in the lounge and two bedrooms, helping with privacy and warmth. The addition of the covered pergola created a defined outdoor area that's been well used, while the fully fenced yard offers peace of mind and plenty of usable space. The backyard continues to be one of the home's strengths - generous enough for play, secure for pets, and private enough to enjoy without distraction. It's the kind of space that gives families options: room for children to move, room for a garden if desired, and room to simply be outside. THE LOCATION Positioned within a well-settled part of Dunlop, the home benefits from surroundings that have quietly supported everyday life. Walking trails weave through the area, making it easy to head out for a morning walk, exercise after work or a weekend stroll with the dog. A nearby bus stop adds convenience for commuting or school runs, keeping daily routines straightforward. For families, schooling options are within easy reach, with MacGregor, Flynn and Charnwood Primary Schools just a short drive away. Daily essentials are close at hand at Dunlop Woolworths, while Kippax and Charnwood Shopping Centres provide additional retail, dining and community facilities. The Charnwood Labor Club is also nearby for casual meals and social connection. It's a location that balances accessibility with a sense of familiarity - close enough to what you need yet removed enough to feel settled. For those looking to establish themselves in a well-connected part of Belconnen, this address offers a practical and dependable setting to start the next chapter.
