For five decades, 9 Faulkner Place in Chapman has provided a warm and comfortable family home for the current owners, who are now moving on to the next chapter in their lives.
The superbly positioned home has been lovingly cared for. It’s now an idyllic hideaway with superb gardens, a beautiful outdoor entertaining area and enough space for families of all compositions.
LJ Hooker licensed property agent Nic Salter-Harding says the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is superbly located.
“There is a footpath next to the house that you only have to follow for about 200 metres and you’re at the Chapman Primary School and Chapman shops, and you don’t have to cross a single road to get there,” Nic says.
“The positioning of the house is great. You get extensive views of all of Canberra since it’s perched up so high at the end of a cul-de-sac on a quiet street.
“It’s surrounded by heaps of greenery and bushland, and since it’s placed up so high, you can see right across Weston Creek from both inside and outside the house.”
The house has undergone renovations and extensions over the years, one of the most notable being the converted garage.
There is still room to park your car, but it also includes a studio-style apartment with a bar, kitchenette and bathroom, making it an ideal guest house for growing teenagers looking for more privacy.
A spacious lounge room greets you upon entry with huge windows overlooking the bushland, which is perfect for unwinding and entertaining guests. It backs onto a formal dining area with a line of sight to the in-ground pool and low-maintenance garden.
The kitchen with a breakfast bar is located directly next to a dining space, if you prefer your family dinners to be more casual.
The bedrooms are spacious and offer fantastic vistas.
“Each bedroom has views of the private garden, so you really feel like you’re in your own world,” Nic says.
The multipurpose room offers an ideal space for a rumpus room or home office.
A master bedroom has a built-in robe, split system air conditioner and ensuite, as well as private access to the courtyard – it’s the perfect retreat.
The main bathroom has plenty of storage, a tub for soaking the day away and dual sinks.
A large, wholly covered outdoor entertaining area overlooks the fully fenced-in pool and gardens, and there’s plenty of backyard space to run around in. It’s the place to be when the temperature starts to rise.
The home is fitted with solar panels to keep costs down, and there’s plenty of storage under the house.
Along with Chapman shops, the house is within walking distance of the Weston Creek Little Athletics Centre, Cooleman Ridge nature reserve, Lipman Street playground, and Weston Creek Labor Club.
