8 Lupus Pl, Giralang ACT 2617, Australia

So much potential. A solid four bedroom Jennings home, ripe for renovation plus a generous parcel of land in a central and popular suburb. This home presents an attractive opportunity for first home buyers or renovators, willing to roll up their sleeves, families looking lots of outdoor space or someone looking for that ideal block to build their dream home.

THE HOME

Entering through a quaint picket gate, along a sweeping path and to a covered timber deck, it’s a warm welcome to this well kept Jennings home.

The family/meals area, adjacent to the kitchen, is the ideal spot for informal meals or a place for your favourite chair and a good book.

Recently updated, the kitchen offers new flooring, good storage and bench space, Westinghouse upright oven, pantry and an outlook over the deck and garden.

A classic L-shaped lounge and dining room benefits from large windows and a lovely view to the reserve. A modern Daikin split system air conditioner ensures this is a comfortable space in all seasons. The original entrance could be utilised as a mud room or work from home space.

With four genuine bedrooms, the kids can enjoy the privacy of their own room. The main bedroom is well sized and features built-in robes.

The mostly original bathroom has a practical layout, bathtub and separate toilet. The separate laundry offers plenty of space.

Garaging is taken care of by a 41m2 metal garage plus there’s good driveway parking available.

The sprawling leafy garden is ever so gently sloping and benefits from established garden beds, an inviting entertaining deck and a secure yard, perfects for kids and pets to play. There’s vehicle access to the yard via gates.

THE LOCATION

The home is set on a private parcel of land in an elevated and quiet cul-de-sac. Surrounding it are free-standing homes on large blocks, many of which have been renovated. The adjacent reserve provides a pedestrian link through to the local school and is part of Giralang’s well planned pedestrian linkages. Giralang has a strong sense of community with many families having a multi-generational presence in the area.

The popular local shops, Kaleen Plaza, is a short 2.8km drive and offers a convenient selection of shops including a Coles supermarket, pharmacy, bakery and café.

Within an easy bike ride (6.4km approx.) the Belconnen CBD is so close. Belconnen offers everything you could want in a modern city with multiple schools, the University of Canberra, Calvary Hospital, Westfield Shopping Centre, restaurants, cafés and of course lovely Lake Ginninderra with all of its pathways, parks and playgrounds to explore.
