52 Streeton Drive, Rivett, ACT 2611

When you step inside this unassuming 3-bedroom family home, you'll be immediately surprised by the space and luxury. 

The lounge room is defined by its glorious hardwood floors that gleam under the natural light pouring in through the window. The living room is an even larger space - an extension to the original house, this room is a perfect blend of spaciousness and cosiness, designed for family life.

Nestled between the two living spaces is a foodie's dream. Large and well-appointed, the kitchen provides generous bench space, gas cooktop plus an abundance of storage and pantry space, all under the natural glow of the electric skylight. Whether you're making a family dinner or entertaining friends, you'll find everything you need for a memorable meal in the adjacent formal dining room.

At the end of the day you can retreat to one of the three bedrooms, each with built-in robes and large windows dressed with beautiful formal drapes. The rooms are quiet and peaceful, combining practicality with a touch of elegance. 

The home is warmed by ducted heating. The renovated bathroom with separate toilet epitomises classic styling. Burgundy tiles and high-quality fixtures - including full bath - offer a timeless aesthetic. 

Step outside onto the large deck and take in the enormous and enchanting cottage garden, adorned with paved paths that invite exploration. A large deciduous tree stands as the centrepiece, providing summer shade and filtered sunlight in winter. Even with the garden shed, veggie patches and charming cubby house, there's still plenty of room for the kids to run around and play.

The property is close to Chapman and Duffy Primary schools, as well as the Rivett cafe, bakery and supermarket. It's walkable to restaurants, shops, public transport and services of Cooleman Court, and just as close to the Cooleman Ridge nature trails with their sweeping views to the Brindabellas and over Canberra's landscape.

If you love peace and quiet in a friendly neighbourhood that has room for the kids to play, then this just may be your family's new home.
