13 Hale Crescent, Turner

Double brick and double glazing is a combination you almost never get in a rental. It means the house holds its temperature and holds its quiet, and your heating bill behaves itself. Three bedrooms across two levels. Updated kitchen, updated bathroom, and a separate toilet downstairs so the morning queue never forms. Timber floors throughout. Carport out the back, and proper outdoor space to entertain. One half of a duplex pair, solidly built, well looked after. Then there's Turner. ANU is a short walk, so the car can stay put most days. Haig Park is at the bottom of the suburb with its markets every Sunday morning, and Sullivans Creek parkland runs through the middle with cycle paths either side. Braddon's Lonsdale Street cafes and restaurants are a walk, Civic is just past them, and light rail sits on Northbourne Avenue. Two kilometres from the city, and it still feels like a neighbourhood.
