The home offers two bedrooms and one bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for a small family or couple. It is a detached house situated on a 516 m² block.
The house sits on a 516 m² land area, giving space for a garden or outdoor activities. The lot size is typical for homes in the Charnwood suburb.
The Boslem And Harte Park is approximately 0.3 km away, and George Simpson Park is about 1.1 km from the house, both within easy walking distance. These parks offer green space for recreation.
The Charnwood centre shopping area, which includes fast‑food outlets, a Woolworths, a Shell service station and a Labor Club, is located within the suburb, roughly a few minutes’ walk or drive from the property. Residents enjoy convenient access to everyday retail needs.
Charnwood was planned using the Radburn principle, where houses face common parkland and garages are positioned at the rear. Although later modifications added fences, the layout still provides a network of pedestrian pathways linking the area.
Federally, the home is in the Division of Fenner, and for ACT Legislative Assembly elections it lies in the Ginninderra electorate. This determines its representation at both federal and territory levels.
The suburb sits on Silurian‑age rocks, mainly Deakin Volcanics purple rhyodacite, with the Deakin Fault bordering the northeast edge. Nearby, Hawkins Volcanics green‑grey dacite and quartz‑andesite are also present.
