24/12 Waniassa Street

Queanbeyan East NSW 2620

For the owner, 24/12 Waniassa Street marked an important milestone. After saving for a deposit and deciding it was time to leave renting behind, they purchased the apartment as their first home in March 2020. It was within budget, well located and, six years later, has proven to be a choice they have genuinely enjoyed.Over that time, the apartment has become a comfortable place to settle into everyday life. The living room has been a particular favourite, with dimmable lighting creating a relaxed atmosphere for movie nights without direct sunlight causing glare on the television. One of the owner's happiest memories came more recently, hosting the family Christmas here in 2025. It was also the moment that confirmed their next move - finding somewhere with a little more room to host everyone in the years ahead.THE HOMEThe apartment offers a practical layout complemented by a generous balcony and a range of features that make day-to-day living easy.The kitchen includes a Smeg oven and four-burner gas cooktop, Omega rangehood and dishwasher, along with additional floating shelving added by the owner. Daikin inverter air conditioning provides heating and cooling, while the bathroom features a large bath/spa that also functions as the shower.The home has also been progressively maintained and updated during the owner's time here. Improvements have included new living room curtains, LED downlights through the kitchen, living and dining areas, updated bathroom tapware and a replacement dishwasher. The building's common interior was repainted and refurbished in 2024, followed by a complete exterior repaint in 2026.THE LOCATIONFor the owner, one of the biggest things they will miss is the convenience of the location. Shops, cafs and restaurants are close by, while the surrounding area provides plenty of options for getting outside and enjoying a walk.The secure building and good separation from neighbouring apartments have also helped make the property a comfortable place to call home.- Within walking distance of local shops, cafs, restaurants and nearby walking areasTHE DETAILS- Master bedroom ft. carpet & built-in wardrobe- Living area with dimmable lighting, LED downlights and curtains- Kitchen with Smeg oven, Smeg four-burner gas cooktop, Omega rangehood, Omega dishwasher, floating shelving and updated tapware- Daikin inverter heating and cooling- High-pressure water system- Large bath/spa with integrated shower- Robinhood laundry tub- Heat lamps to bathroom and ensuite- FTTP NBN connection- Updated quarter-turn bathroom tapware- Building interior repainted and refurbished in 2024; exterior repainted in 2026- Large balcony with retractable clothesline- Short commute to Queanbeyan CBD and Canberra CBD- Approx.
