11 Bainton Crescent, Melba, ACT 2615

Some homes ask you to compromise. This one doesn't.
Positioned on one of Melba's most elevated and tightly held streets, 11 Bainton Crescent is a commanding family residence that delivers scale, versatility and uninterrupted views across Belconnen, all on a sprawling 1,774m² block that gives your family room to truly breathe. Built in 1976 and held by the same family ever since, this is a home that has been genuinely loved — and it shows in every considered detail and improvement made over the decades.

From the moment you step upstairs, the outlook takes over. The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone stretches the full width of the home and spills onto a full-length balcony that frames panoramic views across the Belconnen basin. This is the kind of position you don't give up.
The renovated kitchen is the centrepiece — an oversized island with breakfast bar seating, soft-close cabinetry, strip pendant lighting and premium Westinghouse appliances including a 900mm pyrolytic oven. Two separate living areas add genuine flexibility for a busy household, with quality finishes, natural light and an effortless indoor-outdoor connection throughout.

Six generous bedrooms means no one misses out. The master suite is a genuine retreat, featuring a beautifully renovated ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling, rain shower and vanity. Additional bedrooms include built-in storage and ceiling fans, with the front rooms capturing elevated outlooks that remind you exactly where you are. The main bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard — floor-to-ceiling tiling, rain shower, bath and dual vanity with extensive storage. A separate oversized toilet and a fully renovated laundry with external access and ample storage complete the package.

Downstairs, a fully self-contained granny flat with private entry opens up a world of options. Its own kitchen with stone benchtops, bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling, bedroom with split system and laundry facilities make this a genuinely independent living space — perfect for extended family, long-term guests or a consistent rental income stream.

Step outside and the property continues to impress. A beautifully landscaped backyard with a pergola entertaining area, split-level lawns, established fruit trees — olive, pear, cherry, grape and hazelnut — and a side gate straight onto the walking trails of Mount Rogers. Under-house storage, wine cellar access, rainwater tank, additional sheds and a motorised double garage with 3.3m ceilings round out a property that has thought of everything.

Minutes from Belconnen Town Centre, Westfield Belconnen, the University of Canberra, AIS, Lake Ginninderra and Bruce Stadium — with easy CBD access and a selection of quality schools on the doorstep. Homes like this don't come around often. When they do, they go fast.
