Comfort, space and accessibility define this five-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Conder. 28 Dobell Circuit is a classic red brick suburban house with a double-door garage, a big backyard and a freshly renovated interior.
This property is ideal for families, with plenty of bedrooms, multiple living spaces and big renovated bathrooms. Each room in the house feels expansive, with huge windows, plantation-style shutters and beautiful spotted gum floorboards. It’s as though every feature of the house is geared to maximise light and space – it’s easy to find room to do your own thing.
“The separation of the master bedroom from the kids rooms creates a perfect parents’ retreat,” Mcintyre Property sales agent Maya Rourke says.
The previous owners have done some serious renovations and have taken the hassle out of it for the next family looking to settle in. The kitchen is beautifully outfitted with new Smeg and Miele appliances, wall-mounted pyrolytic ovens, and a gas cooktop. For storage, there’s a newly built and epically large butler pantry.
“It’s basically been completely rebuilt. It feels like an entirely new home,” says Maya.
It’s all centred around the waterfall stone island benchtop, the perfect place for an informal dinner on bar-style stools.
“It’s a great place to entertain,” Maya says.
The renovations include some incredible attention to detail. Little things like the rain sensor-equipped louvre roof above the alfresco dining area, evaporative cooling and ducted heating, the double-glazed windows and the double vanity in the ensuite all show the love the previous owners had for this home.
“Everyone who comes through loves the quality finishes, especially the spotted gum floorboards,” Maya says.
The alfresco area is ideal for those summer months when you just want to sit and enjoy the sun. Situated on a big deck, it also leads into the garden so the kids can run around and tire themselves out while the parents sit and relax.
“You can enjoy the inside, but you also have amazing access to natural spaces, such as the backyard and the surrounding reserves.”
The previous owner describes sitting in the living room and watching the sun come in through the shutters. In the winter, she says she can even see the snow on the Brindabella ranges.
Parents will also love the low-maintenance backyard, although you could easily create your own greenhouse, and there’s plenty of room for raised garden beds.
Conder is a family-focused community with 15 schools within 5 km, including public and private, primary and secondary. Whatever your family needs, Conder can provide it.
“It’s perfect for families; there are plenty of schools within walking distance, and it’s a great street,” Maya says.
There’s plenty to do on the weekends, too. Nature reserves and bush tracks surround you if you feel like escaping to nature. But when you do want some bright lights, the Canberra CBD is only a 20-minute drive away.
