46 May Maxwell Crescent, Gilmore, ACT 2905

In 2008, the homeowners were searching for the perfect place to raise their growing family – a place to call home situated within a friendly, family-oriented suburb. The moment they discovered this charming three-bedroom home, they knew it was the one. Tucked away from the street at the end of a long driveway, the property offered a sense of privacy and tranquillity, perfectly complemented by its generous block and thoughtfully designed layout.

The spacious interiors immediately caught their eye. The open plan kitchen and family area became the heart of the home, where they shared countless meals and conversations. The wraparound breakfast bar in the kitchen served as the backdrop for busy mornings, laughter-filled afternoons, and moments of togetherness. With its ample cabinetry and double stainless-steel sink, the kitchen was not only practical but a hub of connection for the family.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal living and dining room exuded comfort with its plush carpets and ceiling fan – a space for movie nights, quiet reading, and hosting loved ones. The segregation of the bedrooms from the living areas created a peaceful retreat for everyone at the end of the day. The three sizeable bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, provided each family member with their own sanctuary, while the centrally located bathroom, with its built-in bathtub, became the ultimate spot for evening relaxation.

But it was the sunroom that truly stole their hearts. Flooded with natural light through large windows, this space evolved with the family over the years. From a safe indoor play area for their children to a bustling hub for birthday parties and milestone celebrations, the sunroom held countless cherished memories. Its seamless connection to the undercover outdoor area and expansive backyard made it the perfect setting for alfresco dining and outdoor adventures. The sprawling lawn saw everything from impromptu games to serene mornings spent tending to the established gardens.

Beyond the home itself, the location proved to be just as ideal. With local shops, renowned schools, and parks all within close proximity, the family enjoyed the convenience of having everything they needed just a short stroll or drive away. Weekends were made easy with the nearby Gilmore Neighbourhood Oval for their sporting and leisure requirements and the local amenities at Chisholm Village Shopping Centre for their daily essentials, while the tight-knit community and fantastic neighbours enriched their lives.

As the years passed, the home was lovingly maintained and updated, with freshly painted walls and a recently renovated bathroom ensuring it stayed as welcoming as ever. The reverse-cycle air conditioning in the sunroom provided comfort throughout the seasons, while the double carport and additional undercover storage made family life all the more convenient.

Now, this sturdy single-level brick home is ready to welcome its next chapter – a new family looking to create their own story within its walls. Whether it's the privacy offered by the long driveway, the inviting warmth of the sunroom, or the close-knit community waiting just outside, this home offers everything a growing family could dream of. The homeowner fondly reflects on the laughter, milestones, and quiet moments that defined their time here, and they're excited to pass it on to someone ready to make it their own.
