Renovated, modern family home that's guaranteed to bowl you over

Renovated and renewed, showing the meticulous care and maintenance of 30 years of ownership, 10 Meldrum Street in Weston is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home thoughtfully designed to be the perfect family home.

The current owners have put in plenty of additions, ranging from small aesthetic touches to big quality-of-life features to make it a low-maintenance liveable home. After being in the same hands for so long, 10 Meldrum Street is now ready for a new family.

“The owners have done so much, the home is move-in ready and futureproof. They’ve re-polished the timber flooring, repainted, remodelled the kitchen and they’ve even re-landscaped so that the outdoor part of the home is easier to manage,” LJ Hooker agent Jane Macken says.

The home has a clean modern feel and architectural features like the kitchen void that both look beautiful and make the space more liveable by flooding the kitchen and breakfast bar with natural light.

The owners have also made sure the kitchen is a dream for a home chef with beautiful stone benches, heaps of storage, a walk-in pantry, a Bosch oven and a gas cooktop.

The property will suit a family that values space as the home has been thoughtfully designed to have four separate living areas.

“The living space is great as everyone can have their own area to hang out in, and there’s also plenty of room to entertain. It meets both needs brilliantly,” Jane says.

The upstairs serves as a retreat for parents. With views of the Brindabellas and Mt Stromlo, double-glazed windows for quiet and a flexible living space, which could be either an office or sitting area, it’s a self-contained refuge that lets parents relax.

The master bedroom has double built-in robes, views and an ensuite with a separate bath.

“It’s been really well planned to let parents relax and have their own space,” Jane says.

Then we get to the outdoors where the amenities are absolute jaw-droppers.

You’ll find an 18-metre cricket pitch (a BOLA bowling machine is included), and there’s an enclosed area with a net, giving sporting buffs the space to practise a variety of sports (if cricket isn’t your first love).

“The backyard practically has its own activity centre, where you can play pickleball or practise your swing against the golf net. At Christmastime, you can play cricket on the pitch. It’s great for a sporty family,” Jane says.

The backyard also features a beautiful timber deck shaded by Chinese pistachio trees – perfect for a barbecue or evening drinks to wrap up the week.

Located in the suburb of Weston on a quiet street, the home is a five-minute drive to Cooleman Court and a 15-minute drive to Civic.

The property has a rare combination of suburban comfort and space but with easy access to amenities.

“The owners call Weston Canberra’s best-kept secret. The area is so close to everything but not as busy as the inner suburbs. It’s a fantastic suburb to raise a family, especially with the great local schools,” Jane says.

The property is move-in ready, with enough features to rest easy – nothing needs to be done.

Re-polished hardwood flooring, ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling, an automatic garage, built-in robes in all bedrooms, and a separate laundry all mean everything has been done for you.

“The property ticks all the boxes that a home could with space, upgrades, a low-maintenance setup and great quality-of-life features,” Jane says.
