20 Burns Circuit, McKellar ACT 2617

From the moment you drive up the stencilled driveway and past the leafy oversized front yard, you feel the anticipation for something special. This well-loved single level home, positioned in a quiet spot in this tightly held suburb, has had a number of recent upgrades that you will love.

As you walk through the front door, you are welcomed by a spacious open plan living area framed by a 6m exposed timber beam and posts, bathed by natural light from side-by-side glass bi-fold doors and a large bay window. As you come to the modern kitchen, with its stone bench tops and stainless-steel appliances, the twin bi-fold doors open to a large outdoor entertainment area half covered by a pergola, and this gives you a wide vantage point to mind kids as they play in the fully enclosed rear yard or simply stay in your guests' conversation. Further out is the oversized garage, which offers plenty of gym, hobby or workspace.

Turning back into the house, the newly installed LED down lights and freshly polished hardwood timber floors lead you to four generous bedrooms. The fourth and largest bedroom offers a multipurpose space that can be utilised as an additional living area or a work from home space thanks to the built-in desk and shelving.

On top of these, the property is in close proximity to the Belconnen Town Centre, including the recently renovated Belconnen Fresh Food Markets. Several good schools, the University of Canberra and North Canberra Hospital are easily accessed, while picturesque Lake Ginninderra is only a short walk away, giving you great access to lots of parks and areas the kids will love.

Whether you are looking to grow your family or deciding to downsize, this charming home has plenty to offer. For a more intimate look, make sure to watch our detailed walk-through video before you inspect (and after). It's our 24/7 salesperson to help you get an excellent feel for the features and benefits of this home. It's the most informative property video you will watch during your property search, but don't just take our word for it…
