51 Francis Forde Boulevard

Positioned along one of Forde's most picturesque streets, this separate-titled two-storey home offers four bedrooms, dual balconies, and a layout designed with genuine flexibility in mind. From the covered rear courtyard to the north-facing upper balcony shared by bedrooms two and three, outdoor living is woven through every level of this home. The ground floor opens into a light-filled kitchen, dining, and living area that connects naturally through large sliding doors to the rear courtyard and covered pergola. The kitchen features stone benchtops, gas cooking, and quality appliances with ample bench space. A fourth bedroom on the ground floor adds valuable versatility, equally suited to guests, a home office, or a dedicated multipurpose room. Upstairs, a central retreat provides a peaceful second living space for the whole family. The master bedroom enjoys its own private balcony, ensuite, and built-in robe, while bedrooms two and three share an expansive north-facing balcony with leafy outlooks, a genuinely appealing feature for a home at this level. Ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling and a 5.5-star energy rating ensure year-round comfort and efficiency, while a detached double garage with rear-lane access rounds out a home that has been considered at every level. Just a short walk from Forde Shops including Frankie's, Forde Dental, and Forde Early Learning Centre, and minutes from Burgmann Anglican School, Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary, and Yerrabi Pond, with Gungahlin Town Centre and major arterial roads close by, this is a location that puts the best of Forde within easy reach.
