30 Merriman Crescent, Macarthur, ACT 2904

In 1984, the homeowners embarked on a journey to find the perfect place to raise their growing family – a home that offered space, comfort, and the warmth of a family-friendly community. Nestled in a peaceful and highly sought-after suburb, this residence became the foundation of countless cherished memories, a place where their children could thrive, play, and grow.

From the moment they stepped onto the generous block, they knew they had found something special. The expansive backyard, with its lush greenery and ample room for outdoor play, instantly felt like the ideal backdrop for childhood adventures.

Upon entering, a formal entryway welcomes you in, featuring thoughtfully designed wall cutouts that offer a glimpse into the formal living space. The spacious and inviting living area, seamlessly connecting to the versatile formal dining space, with plush carpeting underfoot. Beyond, the heart of the home unfolds – a beautifully renovated open plan kitchen, dining, and family area that serves as the true hub of daily life.

Hardwood flooring underpins the warmth of this space, complemented by an expansive island bench perfect for meal prep and casual gatherings. The double sink, positioned beneath a sunlit window, frames a direct view of the private, rear wooden deck – accessible via sliding glass doors off the living space creating an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining.

The master suite, a private retreat, offers both built-in and walk-through wardrobes, leading to a secluded ensuite. Down the hall, three additional bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, offer perfect spaces for children, guests, or adaptable living areas. The cleverly designed three-way main bathroom maximises both function and convenience, with a separate toilet, wet area, and a double vanity. A well-appointed laundry, complete with ample storage and external access, ensures practicality is at the forefront of this family home.

The tri-level backyard is a true highlight – meticulously landscaped to provide the ultimate balance between recreation and relaxation. Expansive lawn areas invite children to run freely, while beautifully crafted stone retaining walls and established garden beds create a serene and inviting atmosphere. The homeowners took great pride in cultivating this space, ensuring it remained not only beautiful but also highly functional for their family's needs.

Over the years, they lovingly transformed the property, ensuring it adapted to the evolving needs of their family, with the home undergoing two major renovations – with the most recent transformation in 2005 elevating the kitchen, bathroom, and living areas to modern standards. Since then, the open plan living space has remained the heart of the home – where laughter filled the air, where Christmases were celebrated with loved ones, and where milestones, both big and small, were embraced. It has been a place of warmth, comfort, and connection, designed to bring people together.

Now, after nearly four decades of love and memories, the homeowners prepare to pass the keys to the next family. They leave behind a home that has been a sanctuary, a place of joy and togetherness, and they hope that the new owners will create their own treasured moments within these walls. This is more than just a house; it is a home waiting to embrace its next chapter, offering the perfect foundation for a family to grow, just as it once did for them.
