3 Magennis Place

Tired of fake-perfect houses or those that have been 'renovated' by not so handy owners over the years? This brick family home is solid and genuine no filters, no nonsense, just desirable bones and honest character that you don't need to sell a kidney to afford. What you get: Classic kitchen that's been keeping it real since the 80's with that warm woodgrain energy Proper separate living, dining and family room setup perfect for when the whole family is home and you need zones to hide in Covered entertaining area - rain, hail, or that one Canberra day that tries to be both, you're still out there living your best life A backyard with established trees and garden beds ready for your green-thumb ambitions (or ambitious neglect) A double garage that's bigger than some 1-bedroom apartments nowadays Honest disclosures: Con: The driveway is only half concreted and has some cracks (it's earned its stripes). Pro: There is not a single crack in the brickwork (they don't build them like they used to anymore!) and you can move in after new carpet and fresh paint everything is sound But that's the beauty of this place good bones, loads of potential, and zero pretence. It's not trying to be a glossy Instagram renovation. It's a proper family home in a quiet Latham pocket, ready for someone who wants space, character, and a green light to make it their own. Perfect for: Families wanting space without the ridiculous price tag Handy types who enjoy a weekend project (or know a good concreter) People who value "good bones" over perfection 3 Magennis Place where the only thing cracked is the driveway (and occasionally my sense of humour).
