The homeowners first purchased the land in 1993, drawn to its position beside a reserve and the open outlook it offered. Knowing the view could never be built out gave them confidence that this would be the right place to create their long-term family home. Rather than purchasing an existing property, they chose to take on the challenge of building the home themselves as owner builders. Designing the house from the ground up allowed them to include the features they had always wanted - including 9-foot ceilings, Tasmanian oak timber floors and a large wrap around veranda that could capture the surrounding serenity. Over the years, the home became the setting for everyday family life. It was here that the homeowners raised their two children, watching them grow while building a life in an established neighbourhood. The veranda quickly became a favourite place to sit with a morning coffee, looking out across the garden and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.After many years and countless family memories, the homeowners have made the decision that it is time for the next chapter. They hope the next family who moves in will appreciate the same things they have always loved about the property - the outlook, the space, and the feeling of a home built to be lived in and enjoyed.THE HOMEThroughout their time in the home, the owners continued to maintain and update the property, including renovations to the bathroom, toilet and laundry, fresh paint throughout and upgraded lighting and appliances to ensure the home remained well maintained.Inside, the home includes built-in robes to the bedrooms, while the recently updated bathroom, toilet and laundry bring a refreshed feel to the interior. The kitchen has also seen appliance upgrades including a Devanti induction cooktop, new rangehood and dishwasher, supporting everyday functionality.Comfort throughout the seasons is supported with Mitsubishi and Panasonic reverse cycle heating and cooling systems installed in multiple rooms, allowing individual temperature control across the home.Practical features extend beyond the interior. Beneath the house is a large under-house storage area, providing valuable additional space for tools, equipment or long-term storage. Outside, a 9,000 litre water tank to help support the established gardens surrounding the property.The result is a home that blends character, thoughtful design and practical upgrades, offering a well cared for home that has served the family well for many years.THE LOCATIONPositioned in the established suburb of Ngunnawal, this home enjoys a quiet residential setting while remaining well connected to the everyday amenities that make family life convenient.One of the property's standout features is its direct outlook toward the neighbouring reserve, providing a sense of space and greenery that is increasingly hard to find. With walking paths and open parkland nearby, the location offers easy opportunities to enjoy the outdoors right on your doorstep.Families will appreciate the proximity to local schools, parks and playgrounds, along with nearby shopping options including Ngunnawal Shops and Casey Market Town. These centres provide access to supermarkets, cafs, medical services and other everyday conveniences.The home is also well positioned for commuting, with straightforward access to Gungahlin Town Centre, offering a wider range of retail, dining and transport options including the light rail connection to Canberra City.With its combination of established surroundings, nearby green space and access to key amenities, Ngunnawal continues to be a popular choice for families looking to settle in a well-connected northern Canberra suburb.MORE DETAILS Three-bedroom family home Open plan living and dining area ft. large windows Kitchen ft.
