The great thing about buying a house in an established area is that extra sense of home you often find.

It might be that feeling of a property that’s been lived in and lovingly maintained, or a lush garden or cherished vegetable plot. Some clever styling might help too.

This three-bedroom house in the Belconnen region is perfect for a family on the move, combining warmth with a fresh renovation.

The front door opens to a large living area with timber floors, shutters and custom-built joinery. No space is wasted, with what looks like your standard, large cupboard actually hiding a pop-up study with storage overhead.

The area flows to the dining area and kitchen. The latter has been recently updated with Smeg appliances, stone benchtops, an island bench and plenty of storage.

Three large bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and cream curtains are located off the hallway.

Nearby, the modern bathroom, which has also undergone a renovation, features a glassless shower, bluestone tiling and a separate toilet.

An updated laundry, large linen cupboard, double carport, ducted heating and evaporative cooling are among the features.

Outside, a large timber deck beneath a shade cloth overlooks a lush, low-maintenance backyard.

The property offers growth, with a large block providing plenty of space for a future house extension or extra features, such as further landscaping or a pool.

A fresh, light palette with splashes of timber and grey is an appealing one that can be easily tweaked by new owners.

The home is located in a quiet street within walking distance of parkland. Kingsford Smith Drive is within convenient reach, while a number of suburban shops and ovals are a short drive away.

We love: The house is ready to be lived in with a fresh, appealing palette and recent renovations eliminating the need for extra work.
