Giralang ACT 2617

The generous lounge is kept cosy with a slow combustion fireplace and gas wall heater, and there is ducted evaporative cooling. Most windows and doors have been double glazed. The light filled dining room offers elevated views over the treetops to the Brindabellas.

The updated kitchen features striking subway tiles, electric appliances, breakfast bar, huge pantry plus a practical servery window, for ease of entertaining when family and guests gather. The kitchen and family room overlook the entertaining deck and beautifully landscaped rear garden.
Attractive, easy care flooring extends from the dining through the kitchen and family area, which opens onto the deck.

The vast Cypress entertaining deck, with a new roof, is a standout feature and overlooks the garden which offers a grassy games area, many thriving fruit trees, a cubby/shed and pond. It will comfortably accommodate gatherings of any number, and the north-east aspect ensures year round enjoyment. Alongside is a grapevine covered pergola sheltering an extensive paved area.

A fabulous teen retreat leads to three of the secondary bedrooms, all offering built-in robes, new carpet and ceiling fans, which are fitted in all bedrooms.

The luxuriously sized master suite features a walk-through robe and updated ensuite, while a fifth spacious bedroom also has a built-in robe. The renovated main bathroom offers a bath and shower.

On the entry level, a roomy rumpus leads to an ensuite bathroom and a big store room. There is internal access to the enormous garage, fitted with an auto panel lift door. This could accommodate four smaller cars or allow for two large vehicles, with generous workshop and storage space at the rear.

On the opposite side of the home is a double carport with gates allowing access to the garden, and there is off-street parking for another three vehicles.

The bushland reserve at the top of the cul-de-sac extends across the suburb with many nature trails.

The peaceful location is brilliant for the family, only a short walk to the new Giralang shops and primary school, close to Kaleen shops, primary and high schools, and few minutes' drive to Belconnen Mall, University of Canberra and North Canberra Hospital.
