13/221 John Gorton Drive

Completed in 2022, this three-bedroom townhouse is a sophisticated urban dwelling designed for those who value low-maintenance living without compromising on quality. The interior is defined by natural light and functional flow, transitioning from durable tiled areas to carpeted bedrooms. Positioned as a turnkey solution for first homebuyers, downsizers, or investors, this property is move-in ready and offers a streamlined lifestyle in a central location. The central level is dedicated to open-plan living and dining, anchored by a kitchen featuring stone benchtops, a pull-down mixer tap, and a full AEG appliance package. This space connects directly to two outdoor areas: a front courtyard with a wooden deck and privacy hedging, and a rear balcony for secondary outdoor access. A guest powder room on this level adds a necessary layer of practicality for everyday use. Upstairs, the master suite includes built-in robes and a private balcony that captures direct views of Telstra Tower. The home is fully equipped with Fujitsu ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, NBN fibre-to-the-premises, and quality dual blinds throughout. A tandem garage provides secure internal access and houses a European laundry alongside significant storage space. 13/221 John Gorton Drive positions you at the ultimate pivot point between Canberra's urban hubs and the Molonglo Valley's outdoor playground. The commute is incredibly straightforward whether you're heading 15 minutes north into Civic or south toward Woden, the main arterial road on your doorstep handles the connection seamlessly. It's also a highly practical spot for everyday living; you can stroll down the road to Evelyn Scott School, cross the street to the Arcare Aged Care facility, or hit the gym and laps at the Stromlo Leisure Centre. Balancing this hyper-convenience is the immediate access to Stromlo Forest Park and the Molonglo River trails, giving the address a distinct, active edge. With its 2022 completion and prime features, this property represents a sharp opportunity in a fast-moving sector.
