The house sits on a 341 m² block. This provides a modest-sized lot typical for separate houses in the suburb.
It is a standalone house. The property is classified as a house rather than an apartment or unit.
The Jamison Centre shopping mall and the Big Splash water‑park are each about 0.5 km away. A small shopping centre on Lachlan Street with a medical centre, chemist, coffee shop and a Vietnamese restaurant is also nearby.
ACTION bus route 32 serves the area, providing direct connections to Belconnen Town Centre and Civic. This makes public transport a convenient option for commuters.
The eastern side of Macquarie contains Ordovician greywacke from the Pittman Formation, uplifted along the Deakin Fault. A green‑grey dacitic porphyry with large white feldspar crystals lies beneath the Jamison Centre, and green‑grey rhyodacite of the Walker Volcanics underlies the centre and western parts of the suburb.
Macquarie was gazetted on 22 June 1967 to honour Major‑General Lachlan Macquarie, a former Governor of New South Wales. The suburb’s streets are named after contemporaries of Governor Macquarie.
