13 Gatton Street

Farrer ACT 2607

The updated main bathroom boasts a shower and bath, and stands at the ready for toddler toilet training, sibling water fights, bath battles and general chaos from absent minded children. Thankfully when it comes to clean up, the full height tiles make for a little less work. If you want to avoid all that, simply escape to your updated ensuite in the main bedroom for a little privacy and seclusion.

The study stands at the ready to host the next side hustle, working from home arrangement or assignment all-nighter. It can also act as the fourth bedroom, if you find yourself expecting to hear the pitter patter of another set of feet.

With Farrer pre-school and primary school less than 1km away, families are perfectly placed for an easy stroll to school. Teens can walk to Marist College and Melrose High also less than 2kms away. On weekends, a trip around the corner to Fox & Bow will take care of coffee and breakfast cravings. Your other local is the Mawson shops, where you can indulge in a variety of multicultural and sweet treats.
