There are always those homes everyone seems to gravitate towards. Whether it’s for weekend barbecues stretching all afternoon, the odd dinner party or the place everyone ends up after school.

That allure is what’s behind the sophisticated facade of 7 Roper Place in Chifley. The near-new four-bedroom home feels like the kind of place people naturally gather, and no one’s in a hurry to leave.
Most of the living unfolds on a single level, where open-plan spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoors. Sliding doors draw the al fresco area in, complete with a built-in outdoor kitchen, while a heated pool is the centrepiece of the backyard.

Inside, the palette is refined yet warm, pairing engineered timber floors with soft sheers, feature lighting and extensive custom joinery throughout.
The extensive kitchen is anchored by a large island wrapped in porcelain. A butler’s pantry with its own sink and second dishwasher keeps the mess tucked neatly away. In addition to the main living and dining areas, another family room can be sectioned off, while a rumpus with a wet bar also spills out to the pool.

As for accommodation, the master enjoys a walk-in wardrobe, custom joinery and an oversized en suite, while three other bedrooms sit separately. Downstairs, a self-contained studio with a kitchenette offers flexibility for visitors or multigenerational living.
Outside, newly landscaped gardens and a dedicated pebble fire-pit zone round things out. Yet another place designed for people to linger a little longer.
“This contemporary, Mediterranean-inspired home offers well-designed family zoning, a private master retreat, and inviting spaces for easy everyday living and entertaining.” Michael Morris, Hive Property
Backing onto Mount Taylor Nature Reserve, Chifley ticks the boxes of both bushland calm and everyday convenience. Locals are well catered for thanks to favourites such as A Bite To Eat cafe and the Chifley Grocer, while Woden Town Centre sits just down the road, and major arterial connections make anywhere else in Canberra easily reached.
