Drawing the crowds: Renovated beauty in Giralang is hot property

Impeccably renovated inside and out, this Giralang beauty is proving hot property with more than 160 eager buyers inspecting the home in its first two weeks on market.

Windrose Property Principal and Licensed Sales Agent Sam McGregor said there was something special about 102 Chuculba Crescent and the home had struck a chord with a diverse range of buyers.

“The house itself is a great entry into the market, but it’s also ideal for downsizers, upsizers trying to get out of a unit or a townhouse, and first homebuyers,” Sam said.

“There were so many people at the first open. There were 36 groups there in a 30 minute open home – at least 100 people – and cars up and down the street. The weekend just gone, we saw around another 30 groups – around 70 people in total.

“Giralang would have to be one of the most family friendly suburbs. It’s the only suburb in Canberra where you can walk to the school from any house in the suburb without having to cross a main road and it has really easy access to the city so the location has huge appeal.”

Set on a generous landholding of 784sqm in one of Canberra’s most community-oriented suburbs, the main home spans three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while a freestanding studio offers flexibility with an additional bathroom and toilet.

With 133sqm of internal living space, the home has been freshly renovated with new timber floors, carpets and updated window furnishings, while outside, entertainers will delight in the expansive deck, alfresco kitchen, built-in barbecue, wall-mounted television, drinks fridge and professionally landscaped gardens.

“Renovated homes of this size, in such an appealing location, don’t come to market often,” Sam said.

“The owners have renovated every surface in the house and they’ve done it to an extremely high standard so it presents beautifully.

“It’s a big drawcard that it’s about an 800sqm block that’s been landscaped on every centimetre. To have a home completely finished inside and out is rare – and of course, the outdoor living is outstanding – it’s almost like an extension of the house.”

The self-contained unit at the rear has been used by the current owners as a hairdressing studio, but would also suit as a home office, teenage retreat or additional accommodation for a multi-generational family.

There is also an expansive shed, double carport and single garage.

Windrose Property will take 102 Chuculba Crescent, Giralang to auction on Saturday, 9 August at 2.15pm.
