Gilmore house breaks suburb record with $1.35 million sale

A battle between two bidders has pushed the price for a large family to the highest recorded in Gilmore for the past 12 months.

Jane Rogan of Edge Oliver Muscat reported strong interest throughout the campaign for the impressive house at 62 Rosman Circuit, which sold for $1.35 million.

“It was a beautifully presented property that ticked all the boxes,” she said. “It offered five bedrooms, a generous block, an outdoor entertainment area with a pool, and high-quality features including exposed brick feature walls, a fresh coat of paint and updated bathrooms.”

Rogan said the house was bought by a local family who had been searching for the right property for some time.

Positioned on a substantial 1270-square-metre block, the well-presented home offered a rare blend of size, privacy and thoughtful modern upgrades.

In a quiet, established and highly sought-after pocket, its elevated outlook and mature gardens enhanced its appeal.

The family-friendly layout comprised substantial formal and casual living and dining areas, two bathrooms and a double garage.

Named after renowned poet and journalist Dame Mary Gilmore and located in the fast-growing Tuggeranong district, Gilmore offers both tranquillity and connectivity, with easy access to Woden, Tuggeranong Town Centre, and the CBD via arterial roads.

Allhomes research shows Gilmore has been one of the few suburbs to record strong growth in the past year, with its median house price rising by 4.5 per cent to $875,000.

Unit prices recorded moderate growth of 1.4 per cent, with a current median price of $720,000.

Rogan said Gilmore appealed to buyers as it was an attractive option for families seeking more affordable homes in established, community-focused neighbourhoods.
