5 Garis Place, Macgregor ACT 2615

Few properties present such a perfect opportunity for future improvement as this one. Located in a quiet cul de sac which meets Ginninderra Creek at its end, 5 Garis Place offers size and elevation as its foundational attributes.

With a combined 170 m2 of living space, this home is nearly twice the size of others in its category. Built on the hillside, the upper level boasts two vast living spaces with many possible configurations. The large living and dining areas take advantage of the elevation, maximizing the view of the reserve beyond. The kitchen, which features modern Bosch appliances, connects the dining area with the large open plan family room. This space is illuminated throughout the day by its north and eastern aspects.

Each of the bedrooms are generously proportioned, two of which boast built-in robes. The bathroom, updated since original, is functionally designed with a separate toilet. The downstairs component of the house, 35 m2 in total, offers many potential uses. Currently set out as a rumpus and fourth bedroom, there's ample space to add a kitchenette and bathroom to create a self-contained unit. Alternatively, the new owner might make use of the approved plans to extend the home to the south and add an internal staircase, connecting the two levels together.

The 767 m2 block is made to feel much bigger, thanks to a large median strip at the front of the property, creating a larger setback from the street. The back yard is easily accessible for cars and trailers, with plenty of room for a garage addition.
