Extensively renovated from a solid base, 24 Whittell Crescent is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home in Florey that shows what a great makeover can do.
Ideal for a young family, growing family or downsizer, the property is low maintenance and easy to manage. More importantly, the home is modern and updated and the next owners will have peace of mind knowing that nothing more needs to be done.
“Homes like this are really desirable for younger families,” Luton Properties agent Peter White says.
“It’s low maintenance, energy efficient and, after the renovations, it doesn’t need any work done.
“The builder got the Energy Efficiency Rating up to 7.1 and the windows are double glazed, so it’ll stay a constant temperature year-round. It’s been built for Canberra’s hot summers and its cold, cold winters.”
A great renovation or extension can do more than just change the home aesthetically. It should make the home more functional; the renovations done here at 24 Whittell do just that, making the home more energy efficient and spacious.
The renovations updated the kitchen, main bathroom, laundry, bedrooms, transformed the outdoor space and added the master suite, which boasts a massive walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite with dual showerheads and a double vanity.
“With all the work they’ve done to extend, this is practically a new home. The bathroom in particular is a great addition, the curved walls, the mosaic tiles, the freestanding bath and the overall design are very modern,” Peter says.
“It’s not a basic home either, everything is high-end.”
Additions like the skylights go a long way in creating an open, bright space, illuminating an already beautiful kitchen, which connects to the dining area in an open floor plan.
The dining space and the kitchen look out onto the landscaped outdoor area, including the deck with the pergola and the fire pit sitting area further down the garden.
“Whoever is cooking in the home can look down and keep an eye on the kids playing and it’s just a great view to look at, from both the kitchen and the dining area,” Peter says.
The outdoor entertaining/dining area is a standout part of a home that already impresses in every aspect. Like the rest of the house, it’s been completely transformed with a thoughtful, deliberate renovation.
“Both the front and back gardens have been landscaped, they added a new deck, a pergola and that great fire pit area. It’s a year-round functional space, you can just see cold winter nights spent around the fire pit. While the deck is perfect for summer days,” Peter says.
Located in Florey, just 15 minutes from the city, close to schools, shops and the centre of Belconnen, this property is in a quiet suburb, perfect for raising kids or for someone looking for the serenity of a suburban home just minutes from a town centre.
“The home is tucked away on a really quiet street, it’s a great suburb to raise children and there are a lot of amenities within a short drive,” Peter says.
“And of course, the kids have room to play and run around in the backyard of the home itself.”
With two separate living areas, zoned ducted air conditioning, a double carport and a separate, externally accessed laundry, this property has everything a young family needs to grow but it’s still manageable enough for downsizers looking for a quiet, relaxed lifestyle.
