Queanbeyan 

36 Crawford Street 

$525,000-$550,000

Not only is this circa 1915 Queanbeyan home super adorable but it’s also in a prime main-street location. Affectionately known as “Boab Book Cottage”, the current vendors have filled this home with books but it’s also a well-planned house with lots of character and charm. There is also a prime development opportunity as the block has high-density B4 zoning, coupled with the fact Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council has plans for a $164 million rejuvenation of the city centre.

47 Ragless Circuit 

$610,000 +

This spacious four-bedroom Kambah home is suitable for a growing family. The 820-square-metre block means there is plenty of room for the kids to play, plus it’s located close to nature reserves. There are two generous entertaining decks and a gazebo.

Weston

10 Sturgess Place

$630,000 +

According to Domain data, Weston Creek was the best-performing region of 2018, recording growth in the median house price of 7.5 per cent, so it’s a great time to nab a house in the region. The home underwent a renovation in January so it’s more than ready for new occupants.
