8 Lane Pl, Spence ACT 2615, Australia

A home that purely and simply makes you happy. That’s what you’ll find at 8 Lane Place in Spence. Waking up inside its airbrushed finishes and airy, light-filled rooms will without a doubt put a smile on your dial every day. As will watching your kids play in the spacious backyard – a significant difference and value-add from the townhouse or apartment you could be transitioning from.

With the space available, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t buy that four-legged friend you’ve been thinking about for the last couple of years, but haven’t quite had the backyard to justify. Plus, you can finally have family and friends around for weekend barbeques under the covered alfresco entertaining area, and host your kids’ birthday parties at home, rather than in the local park or a private hire venue.

Parking is no issue with the driveway able to accommodate an additional 2-3 vehicles and even more parking available on the nature strip across the road, given the home’s positioned at the end of a quiet cul de sac meaning no through traffic. That being said, it’s also an opportune place to host a game of backyard cricket…out front.

Inside the home has received extensive renovations, ensuring it meets your contemporary living needs. Not only does it look chic and stylish, but it also has all the trimmings that make it such an easy place to live. Note the mirrored storage robes in every bedroom, a large kitchen with stone benchtops and modern appliances, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning and an elegant bathroom with double vanity, mirrored storage and rainfall shower.

Primary and high schools are all located within walking distance for the kids and the nearby nature reserve makes for great outdoor exploration. In addition, the local shops are a few minutes’ walk away and the Belconnen Town Centre is approximately 7 minutes’ drive away.

If you’re looking to make your first stand-alone home purchase, this is a worthy opportunity that should be grasped with both hands, especially if you like relaxing and entertaining with family and friends rather than working around the house in your precious weekends.
