Napper Place, Charnwood, ACT 2615

Friendly neighbours who keep an eye on what’s going on, and ask what you are doing in a polite way. It seems like the entire street was built by one builder in 1977, who built only two bedroom houses. So, all of the houses have matching bricks. Some of the floor plans are reversed, and a few of them are oriented slightly differently. Some of the owners have extended or added a sunroom at the back. A couple of them have added bull-nose verandahs, which look quite charming. The street has a little island with a turning circle at the end and fans out to provide a bit of end-of-street parking, which is probably handy on auction day or when one of the residences is hosting a party.
