About this property
**DHA lease until 2030**Private inspection only contact Ben Mills** DHA Investment Opportunity The homeowners purchased this townhouse in 2014 as their first home, drawn to the quiet confidence of a well-built, thoughtfully designed complex. It offered a sense of security and simplicity that felt right from the outset, providing a comfortable base they could truly settle into. The two-level, easterly facing design allowed the home to feel light and balanced, with spaces that naturally supported both privacy and connection. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the townhouse adapted comfortably over time, while ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning provided reliable comfort in every season. The single lock-up garage, complete with a dedicated storage room, added a level of practicality that made day-to-day living feel organised and uncluttered. THE LOCATION Positioned in Queanbeyan East and within the local school catchments, 3/40 Buttle Street offers a location that continues to appeal to both homeowners and tenants alike.
