15 Muresk Street

Farrer ACT 2607

On the lower level you will find a multi-purpose room with a built-in bookcase and access via a sliding glass door to the front garden. This could be used as a rumpus room for teenage children or a quiet area for a home office or study. There is an adjacent storage room with shelving and under the stairs, wine racks have been installed.

One of the many outstanding features of this home is the large, covered timber deck which overlooks the back garden. This "all year round" entertaining area has three gas bayonets, ceiling fan, lighting, and gates to ensure small children and pets are contained. It is an outstanding feature in the home where you can enjoy family gatherings now that daylight saving is in place and the Christmas/New Year holidays are fast approaching.

The large back garden has plenty of room for a game of cricket or soccer and for the younger members of the family, a cubby house for them to make their own. A separate well screened, paved utility area is located by the side of the garage for the washing line. There are also gates on either side of the property.

Car accommodation is provided by a separate brick garage with remote controlled door.

This location is so convenient with a short stroll to Farrer Primary School and public transport on Lambrigg Street. The Farrer shops offer an IGA Xpress, a Nepalese restaurant, cafes, and petrol station. Of course, the Southlands Shopping Centre with its Park and Ride, Woden Town Centre, the Canberra Hospital, Melrose High School, and Marist College are also within a short driving distance.

The suburb of Farrer was named on 12 May 1966, after William James Farrer, who had lived in the area late in the 19th century, making a significant contribution to wheat-breeding in New South Wales by producing climate species, thus extending the wheat-belt and enabling the breeding of resistant wheat. The suburb's streets are named after agriculturalists, except for Lambrigg Street, which was the name of Farrer's property in Tharwa.

It is next to the suburbs of Torrens, Mawson, Isaacs and the Tuggeranong suburb of Wanniassa. It is bordered by Beasley Street, Athllon Drive, and Yamba Drive. Farrer is in proximity to Southlands Shopping Centre at Mawson and Woden Plaza in Phillip, only 4.2 kilometres away. Canberra Hospital in Garran is nearer still, at 3.8 kilometres. The Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve, part of the Canberra Nature Park, provides for bushwalking and stunning vistas.
