9 Lambell Close, Palmerston, ACT 2913

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this split-level residence has been more than just a house for Robert and Kate – it's been the heart of their family story for the past three decades. When they first purchased this generous block of land, they envisioned a place where their family could grow, a home that hosted plenty of room for everyday joys and gatherings, with ample space for storage and parking. With Robert's own hands and skills, as a Class B builder, and two and a half years of dedication, that vision came to life, brick by brick, finishing in 1994.

Every detail in the home was carefully considered, from the bricks that make up the exterior and the formal entryway that welcomes you in, to the spacious open plan living area, where hardwood floors run seamlessly through the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. It's here, in the heart of the home, that life has truly unfolded. The homeowners have fondly recounted the countless family dinners, quiet evenings in, and moments of laughter shared with loved ones around the table. 

During Canberra's warm summers, the home remains cool, providing a retreat from the heat, with sliding doors that open onto a deck offering a peaceful view of the mountains beyond. This outdoor space became a fond spot where Robert and Kate spent many moments enjoying the serenity of their lush, lovingly maintained yard below, with its vibrant gardens and fruit trees. The secure backyard has beckoned as the backdrop for their granddaughter's playful moments, with the spacious, concreted driveway doubling as a sports court on sunny afternoons.

The upper-level features three generously sized bedrooms, offering ample space for a growing family, with the master bedroom, complete with a large walk-in wardrobe and private ensuite, having been Robert and Kate's restful retreat. The additional two bedrooms, equipped with built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans, have been well-loved by family and guests over the years. Downstairs, a self-contained studio with its own bathroom and kitchen offers a private place for visitors or extended family, with glass doors opening onto a shaded pergola that looks out over the backyard.

The oversized garage presents much more than a place to park cars, becoming a creative sanctuary for both Robert and Kate, with a generous storeroom and separate craft room, with a unique windowed wall that lets in natural light – an ideal space for any project. Beyond the garage, a fully fenced carport and generous driveway provide ample parking for family vehicles or visiting guests, making it convenient for any occasion.

For Robert and Kate, this home represents more than just the sum of its rooms and features – it's the memories woven into the walls, the laughter shared, the family dinners cooked in the kitchen, and the many weekends spent tending to the garden. As they look toward the future, with plans to downsize and start a new chapter, Robert and Kate are filled with bittersweet emotions. They leave behind a home that has been their pride and joy, but they are comforted knowing that the next family to call this place home will create their own lasting memories.

Ready to welcome a new generation, this home, built with love and maintained with care, offers space, warmth, and the perfect setting for any family looking to build their own story in a safe and friendly neighbourhood.
