Scullin ACT 2614

Purchased in 2016, this was a home the owner loved from the very first inspection. It was the combination of a beautifully updated home and a location that suited family life so well that made it feel like the right fit straight away. Close to schools, work, and friends, with the oval directly across the road, it offered the kind of lifestyle that made everyday family living feel easy. Over the years, it has been the warmth and simplicity of the home that made it so special. The deck became a favorite place to gather, with countless barbecues, family time, and long afternoons spent outdoors in warmer weather.The owner will also miss the many memories made here with the kids, from playing basketball in the backyard to flying kites and kicking the ball at the oval across the road. Winning the home at auction back in 2016 remains one of the happiest moments, and it has continued to be a home full of comfort, connection, and family life ever since. THE HOME The home offers three substantial sized bedrooms, all fitted with built-in robes, along with a practical layout that includes a central bathroom, separate toilet, and separate laundry. The kitchen has been updated and includes new appliances, while the servery window connecting out to the large deck adds another layer of functionality and makes the home especially well-suited to relaxed entertaining. Comfort is supported by ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, while additional features include a back-to-base security system, solar, double-glazed windows and sliding door to selected areas of the home, and a fully enclosed carport with roller door. The backyard has also been designed for low-maintenance living, with full irrigation, a large metal shed, and a selection of fruit trees adding both practicality and appeal. A number of improvements have been completed over time, including window coverings and security screens in 2017, wardrobes, gutters and downpipes, instant hot water system, evaporative cooling unit, and roller door to the carport in 2021, a kitchen upgrade in 2022, and new carpet, bathroom and toilet updates, and interior painting in 2026. THE LOCATION Scullin remains a highly regarded Belconnen suburb thanks to its established streets, strong sense of community, and convenient access to the wider district. This address is especially well placed for family living, with the oval directly across the road adding another layer of lifestyle appeal and open space to enjoy close to home. The home is also positioned within easy reach of local schools, shops, and surrounding amenities, while maintaining the quieter suburban feel that continues to draw buyers to the area. It is a location that balances practicality with a strong neighborhood atmosphere.
