4 beds, dedicated study, dual outdoor zones, and private spa.

House - Banks ACT

From the moment you arrive at 79 Pockett Avenue, it is clear this home was built with genuine intention, where clever zoning meets thoughtful everyday details. Battery-operated external shutters quietly safeguard the front-facing windows, offering immediate privacy and effortless climate control before you even step through the front door. Once inside, directly to your right, a quiet study with built-in storage provides a quiet workspace that stays neatly disconnected from the rest of the household, while to your left, a light-filled lounge room flows effortlessly into a diagonally adjacent formal dining area. Together, these front living spaces set a relaxed tone for quiet evenings or sit-down meals.

From the lounge, a central hallway leads into a dedicated bedroom wing housing three well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes and block-out window coverings. This wing is serviced by the main bathroom, along with a surprisingly spacious, powered storage room offering plenty of room for household items.

Moving further into the home reveals the open-plan kitchen, dining/family area, a vibrant central hub designed for effortless daily living. High-functionality cooks will love the Bosch oven, and Solt dishwasher, Westinghouse rangehood, gas cooktop, and generous walk-in pantry with internal power; keeping your coffee machine and daily appliances conveniently tucked away.

Positioned at the very rear for maximum peace and privacy, the oversized master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a walk-through robe, a fully tiled double-vanity ensuite with a dual rain shower, and sliding door access to the outdoor deck.

Outdoors, the home continues to impress with two completely separate entertaining zones connected by a lush, irrigated lawn. On one side of the home, a private timber deck holds a sunken spa for year-round relaxation. On the opposite side, a broad, covered paved alfresco with an Arlec wall fan creates the perfect setting for open-air dining. The surrounding gardens feature established apple trees and raspberry plants, a Colorbond shed, and a dedicated fire pit area that conceals a clever secret underneath; a covered children’s sandpit ready to be revealed whenever needed.

Finished with ducted gas heating (vented even in the bathroom), continuous Rinnai hot water, and an oversized single garage with drive-through rear access, this turnkey residence offers an exceptional lifestyle just a short walk from local buses, Banks IGA, Beau and Jessi Playground, and Banks Oval.
