18 Redpath Terrace, Whitlam, ACT 2611

This is a home with genuine flexibility built in, and is perfect for growing families, multi-generational living, or those after a rental income stream.

The Layout

Upstairs is a proper family zone, with four bedrooms arranged around a central rumpus room, including ensuites in two of them. The master suite has a walk-in dressing room with room to spin around in, plus a double walk-in shower with his-and-hers showerheads, so busy mornings won't mean queuing for the bathroom. Adults will want to head up to the balcony for uninterrupted views across the Bullen Range, a great spot for morning coffee or evening drinks watching the sun go down over the Brindabellas.

Downstairs is where this home really sets itself apart. With its own street access, this self-contained suite includes a hobby room, bedroom, linen press, bathroom with integrated laundry, and a fully appointed kitchen. It's private enough for an older parent who wants to be close to family but still have their own space, or lock it off completely and you've got a ready-made two-bed, one-bath flat, with its own hot water on demand and separate power metering, so it's genuinely set up for rental income if that's what you're after.

That flexibility scales with your needs: a smaller family could live in the two-bedroom flat and rent out the rest, a larger family could take the four-bedroom side and lease out the suite, or a big household could spread out across all six bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.

Indoor-Outdoor Living

With no immediate neighbours on one side, the home enjoys plenty of natural light from big windows. If you like to entertain friends and family, your guests can break out onto two fabulous outdoor areas, both on the middle level of the home. First, there's an alfresco with a powered outdoor kitchen. Second, there's a large sunny balcony over the garage. If you're into indoor-outdoor flow, you'll appreciate the double sliding doors leading out to the alfresco, and the concertina glass and screen doors that create a triple opening onto the main balcony.

Garage & Grounds

Motoring enthusiasts are probably going to enjoy the generous garage, with room for two cars as well as one or two motorcycles. The garage has internal access and auto-opener, as well as a storage closet and lots of handy powerpoints.

Furry friends will be right at home here too, with a secure, easy-care garden that has just enough grassy lawn to make it pet friendly. For little feet, there are double child gates on the middle level to manage stair safety upwards and downwards.

Comfort and Connectivity

Bulkheads with multi-head air conditioning let you set the temperature room by room; the two front bedrooms and living area alone have three AC heads between them. There's also enterprise-grade networking throughout, with NBN Gigabit WiFi7 reaching every corner of the house.

There's a powder room for visitors on each level, plus the main bathroom boasts a deep back-to-wall bathtub for those who like a soak. There are four-and-a-half bathrooms in total, all finished with floor-to-ceiling marble-look tiles, rainfall or handheld showers, double towel rails, wall-hung vanities, and oblong mirrors with built-in cabinets, more like a retreat than a functional necessity.

Location

There is a bus stop one street over, which provides public transport links to Belconnen Interchange and Denman Village.

With a 9-minute drive to CIVIC, or a 14-minute drive to Parliament House, you are likely to feel like this is the Inner West.

There is a new K-6 school opening soon in WHITLAM (2027). Other nearby schools include Evelyn Scott School (K-12) in nearby DENMAN PROSPECT and Charles Weston School (K-6) in COOMBS.
