5 Markham Street, Mawson, ACT 2607

This​ ​beautifully​ ​renovated​ ​home​ ​has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​family's​ ​happy​ ​place​ ​for​ ​decades,​ ​and​ ​now​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​is​ ​yours​ ​to​ ​continue​ ​its​ ​story.

Nestled​ ​among​ ​enchanting​ ​gardens​ ​in​ ​a​ ​charming​ ​cul-de-sac​ ​with​ ​no​ ​through​ ​traffic,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​those​ ​rare​ ​addresses​ ​where​ ​people​ ​arrive​ ​and​ ​want​ ​to​ ​stay.​ ​Elevated​ ​on​ ​the​ ​high​ ​side​ ​of​ ​the​ ​street,​ ​this​ ​beautiful​ ​home​ ​enjoys​ ​leafy​ ​treetop​ ​outlooks​ ​and​ ​an​ ​enviable​ ​connection​ ​to​ ​the​ ​changing​ ​seasons,​ ​from​ ​fresh​ ​spring​ ​growth​ ​to​ ​the​ ​rich​ ​colours​ ​of​ ​autumn.

It's​ ​the​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​setting​ ​that​ ​invites​ ​children​ ​outdoors,​ ​where​ ​neighbours​ ​become​ ​familiar​ ​faces,​ ​and​ ​where​ ​lasting​ ​memories​ ​are​ ​made​ ​over​ ​many​ ​years.​ ​In​ ​fact,​ ​the​ ​same​ ​family​ ​has​ ​proudly​ ​called​ ​this​ ​home​ ​their​ ​own​ ​for​ ​the​ ​past​ ​25​ ​years​ ​or​ ​so​ ​–​ ​a​ ​reflection​ ​of​ ​just​ ​how​ ​special​ ​this​ ​tightly​ ​held​ ​pocket​ ​of​ ​Woden​ ​Valley​ ​truly​ ​is.

Ideally​ ​set​ ​behind​ ​a​ ​private​ ​courtyard​ ​and​ ​surrounded​ ​by​ ​picturesque​ ​gardens,​ ​this​ ​impressive​ ​residence​ ​delivers​ ​space,​ ​privacy,​ ​style,​ ​and​ ​flexibility​ ​in​ ​equal​ ​measure.​ ​It's​ ​the​ ​sort​ ​of​ ​home​ ​that​ ​handles​ ​busy​ ​family​ ​life​ ​Monday​ ​to​ ​Friday,​ ​then​ ​effortlessly​ ​transforms​ ​into​ ​the​ ​go-to​ ​entertaining​ ​destination​ ​on​ ​the​ ​weekend.​ ​

The​ ​heart​ ​of​ ​the​ ​home​ ​showcases​ ​a​ ​beautifully​ ​renovated​ ​kitchen​ ​that​ ​clearly​ ​understands​ ​great​ ​design.​ ​Stone​ ​benchtops?​ ​Tick.​ ​Breakfast​ ​bar?​ ​Of​ ​course.​ ​Gas​ ​cooking,​ ​integrated​ ​appliances,​ ​soft-close​ ​drawers,​ ​dual​ ​pantries,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​dedicated​ ​coffee/bar​ ​nook?​ ​Naturally.​ ​Whether​ ​you're​ ​serving​ ​up​ ​a​ ​quick​ ​midweek​ ​dinner​ ​or​ ​hosting​ ​Christmas​ ​lunch​ ​for​ ​the​ ​extended​ ​family,​ ​it's​ ​ready​ ​for​ ​action.

A​ ​choice​ ​of​ ​living​ ​areas​ ​mean​ ​that​ ​everyone​ ​gets​ ​their​ ​own​ ​space​ ​when​ ​needed.​ ​Formal​ ​living​ ​room​ ​with​ ​leafy​ ​elevated​ ​views​ ​beckon​ ​you​ ​to​ ​relax​ ​with​ ​a​ ​book​ ​and​ ​enjoy​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​cuppa​ ​as​ ​you​ ​admire​ ​the​ ​outlook.​ ​Open-plan​ ​family​ ​and​ ​dining​ ​zones​ ​wrapped​ ​around​ ​the​ ​kitchen​ ​encourage​ ​small​ ​or​ ​large​ ​gatherings,​ ​boasting​ ​effortless​ ​flow​ ​between​ ​the​ ​inside​ ​and​ ​out.

Accommodation​ ​comes​ ​in​ ​the​ ​form​ ​of​ ​four​ ​generous​ ​bedrooms,​ ​headlined​ ​by​ ​a​ ​seriously​ ​inviting​ ​main​ ​suite.​ ​Think​ ​oversized​ ​proportions,​ ​walk-in​ ​robe,​ ​ensuite​ ​and​ ​a​ ​dedicated​ ​sitting​ ​or​ ​dressing​ ​area.​ ​It's​ ​less​ ​"main​ ​bedroom"​ ​and​ ​more​ ​"private​ ​retreat".​ ​The​ ​remaining​ ​bedrooms​ ​all​ ​feature​ ​built-in​ ​robes​ ​and​ ​are​ ​serviced​ ​by​ ​a​ ​stylishly​ ​renovated​ ​bathroom​ ​complete​ ​with​ ​bath,​ ​rainfall​ ​shower​ ​and​ ​separate​ ​WC.

Then​ ​there's​ ​the​ ​backyard.
And​ ​what​ ​a​ ​backyard​ ​it​ ​is.

A​ ​large​ ​covered​ ​entertaining​ ​area​ ​overlooks​ ​beautifully​ ​established​ ​gardens,​ ​creating​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​setting​ ​for​ ​birthdays,​ ​barbecues,​ ​milestone​ ​celebrations​ ​or​ ​simply​ ​claiming​ ​a​ ​quiet​ ​corner​ ​to​ ​relax​ ​and​ ​unwind.
Wander​ ​further​ ​and​ ​you'll​ ​discover​ ​level​ ​lawn​ ​areas,​ ​raised​ ​garden​ ​beds​ ​and​ ​additional​ ​paved​ ​spaces​ ​that​ ​make​ ​the​ ​most​ ​of​ ​the​ ​generous​ ​block.

The​ ​practical​ ​extras​ ​keep​ ​coming​ ​too.​ ​Double​ ​glazing,​ ​additional​ ​insulation,​ ​ducted​ ​gas​ ​heating,​ ​evaporative​ ​cooling,​ ​a​ ​10,000L​ ​water​ ​tank,​ ​separate​ ​laundry,​ ​garage​ ​and​ ​carport​ ​all​ ​add​ ​to​ ​the​ ​comfort​ ​and​ ​functionality.

And​ ​while​ ​the​ ​home​ ​is​ ​move-in​ ​ready​ ​from​ ​day​ ​one,​ ​the​ ​RZ2​ ​zoning​ ​adds​ ​an​ ​extra​ ​layer​ ​of​ ​long-term​ ​appeal​ ​for​ ​buyers​ ​who​ ​like​ ​to​ ​consider​ ​or​ ​explore​ ​future​ ​potential.​ ​

Located​ ​moments​ ​from​ ​quality​ ​schools,​ ​Southlands​ ​Shopping​ ​Centre,​ ​Westfield​ ​Woden​ ​and​ ​Canberra​ ​Hospital,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​one​ ​of​ ​those​ ​opportunities​ ​that​ ​are​ ​a​ ​special​ ​find.
