Top three open homes in Canberra this weekend

ARANDA (pictured above)

6 Arabana Street

$1,050,000

4 bed, 2 bath, 2 car, EER 4

Families will find plenty of space to spread out in this remodelled single-level Aranda residence that offers spacious living areas and seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment options.

They will also like its position on a sweeping 761-square-metre corner block in a quiet loop street that’s literally around the corner from the local primary school and playing fields.

Kerb appeal is enhanced by immaculate landscaping highlighted by a rank of slender silver birches, under-planted with mature flowering shrubs.

A timber-decked path leads through to this private sanctuary, bordered on one side by a curved white-washed brick wall and on the other by the clean lines of the home itself.

The crisp white interior of the home is complemented by a flowing design that divides the sleeping quarters into two wings with the living areas and kitchen forming the hub.
