A story so many Canberra buyers know too well is finding a home in the perfect location, but its original condition means thousands of dollars worth of upgrades are needed to make it liveable.

That’s not the case at 161 Chuculba Crescent in Giralang.

The home, positioned smack-bang in the middle of one of Belconnen’s most sought-after suburbs, has received an extensive modern renovation and is now ready for new owners to move in.

Featuring three bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, open-plan living and incredible views over the Tidbinbilla mountain range, summers will likely be spent enjoying the massive covered deck while watching the kids or dog run around the expansive backyard.

The pergola is also equipped with heaters and a fan for year-round comfort.

Selling agent Tom Palmer of Hive Property says it’s hard to find a downside to the property.

“It’s rare to find a place that really does have it all – a great location, big block, and where all the work has already been done for you,” he says.

“It’s also spacious inside and the existing spaces present so much opportunity in terms of what they could be used for – a playroom, guest bedrooms, a home office or nursery would easily fit within the existing floor plan.”

Other features include a four-camera security system, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, top-end kitchen appliances, and stone benchtops.

“Not only does this home look good, but it come equipped with everything needed to live a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle,” Palmer adds.

There’s certainly no shortage of storage. The large kitchen, which has been cleverly planned to ensure there is more than enough space for all the pots and pans, continues into the laundry, where the design – and more cupboards – ensure easy everyday living.

The garage beneath the home, equipped with workbenches and shelving, provides even more storage space.

Palmer says houses like this don’t come around all the time.

“Giralang is a very desirable suburb. It’s right in the middle of the Belconnen and Gungahlin town centres, while still only being 15 minutes from the city,” he says.

The suburb is also about to receive a huge boost – the local shopping centre is set to commence operations within the next couple of weeks, with the anchor tenant – an IGA supermarket – almost ready to open its doors. Other confirmed tenants include a cafe, with more on the way.

The shops – along with the local primary school, preschool, and daycare centre – are only a six-minute walk away, while the suburb benefits from numerous playgrounds, cycle-paths, and reserves, which are popular among residents for walking the dog or going for a run.
