Googong
With Rosalie Iannelli
If the search for a decent family home at a realistic price is getting you down, then the home at 8 Crispin Grove might just restore your faith.
The minute you step through the door, your mind will be sent into a time-lapse, picturing lounge and living rooms initially filled with toddler toys and tables filled with arts and crafts, which slowly transition, and toys turn into gaming consoles and arts and crafts are replaced by textbooks and studying teenagers. You know you’ll be here for the long haul.
Before long, your children will have left the nest and you’ll be finding any excuse to stay in this home, which has nurtured your family for the past couple of decades.
The contemporary finishes will see you through the years. Wooden floors across the living areas, a stylish kitchen with two-tone cabinetry and a marble look splashback and chic bathrooms with designer tiling, clever recess shelving, and floating stone-topped timber vanities with above bench basins.
The property also boasts not just one en suite, but two with the main bedroom also enjoying a sizeable walk-in robe.
While your style might change over the years, and you might find yourself updating your furniture or homewares, changing these foundations of the home will be unnecessary.
Living in Googong means your chances of making friends with your neighbours are high, so memories are sure to be made during hospitable barbecues in your al fresco entertaining area. This is a great opportunity to bond your children before they go to school together just up the road.

Kingston
Living on the Kingston Foreshore doesn’t get much better than at 117/45 Honeysett View. The spacious three-bedroom property boasts a wide hallway, a built-in study and light-filled open living, dining and kitchen spaces.
The kitchen enjoys Miele appliances, a butler’s pantry and a large island bench. From here, easily spill out to the balcony where you can get perfect views of Lake Burley Griffin, Jerrabomberra Creek and beyond to Jerrabomberra Wetlands.
The home is conveniently located just moments from the foreshore’s restaurants and cafes while tucked away to enjoy life’s peace and quiet and if you need to stock up your well-appointed kitchen, Manuka shopping village and the Kingston shops are only a few minutes’ drive or a brisk walk away.

Macquarie
One thing I’ve learnt to appreciate over the years is having an en suite on the ground floor and on the same floor as the main living areas and kitchen and at this address, it ticks all those boxes.
Once you enter the home, you’re greeted by a wide entrance and the main bedroom on the right side with a walk-in robe and then further down, the open living, dining and kitchen space is filled with natural light thanks to the expansive windows and high ceilings.
Easily access the wraparound deck from here where nature is your friendly neighbour.

Wright
A life at this address is a relaxing one – think morning walks or a bike ride around Mount Stromlo, followed by a day of chilling in the home theatre or baking in the gourmet kitchen – with top-of-the-line appliances and a large island bench for the grazing spread of your dreams.
From here, you could look out to the alfresco area and the easy-to-maintain garden.
One bedroom is located on the ground floor with the remaining bedrooms on the first floor including the master suite which truly is a beautiful and spacious master suite with en suite and a double vanity.
Price guide: $1.37 million
