5 best indoor play spaces on the market right now
Brrrrr, its cold in here! We don't know about you, but we've definitely broken the cardinal rule and had the heater on before Anzac Day this year.
Cooler weather means more time spent indoors and whether you’re looking to cosy up with a copy of A Court of Thorns and Roses or find a spare TV to play Fortnite, having extra space keeps everyone in the home happy.
Check out the top five properties we found that don’t require the kids to have bunk beds for ‘so much room for activities!’
4 Denoon Street, Forde ACT
This four-bedroom property has the triple threat: a formal lounge, alfresco area and downstairs rumpus room. Close to several schools including Forde Primary School and Burgmann Anglican School as well as shops, parks, playgrounds and the nearby Gungahlin Town Centre, this property should definitely be on the radar for families.
The plan shows this property's rumpus space as a pool room, but the current property owner has converted it into a Lego/gamers/Pop collectors dream: definitely some hardcore checkerboard Vans and Miyazaki movie vibes. The only things we can see making this better are some pinnies (that’s pinball machines for you Gen Zs) and a game of Duck Hunt or Mario Bros on the SNES.
155 Herbert Park Road, Armidale NSW
Rural and rustic with muted contemporary tones, this property is set on 18 rolling acres, an ideal Bed & Breakfast, wedding destination or your own private country retreat. The whole house is straight from the pages of a Home Beautiful magazine and is giving total Housesitter vibes (a Steve Martin classic - Google it).
Extra indoor features of this already spacious home include a study/games space, mezzanine and atrium.
78 Smith Street, Broulee NSW
Canberrans and South Coast residents know the beauty of Broulee only too well. A small beachfront township that combines hip (it has its own brewery!) with classic coastal - I bought my first bikini in the surf shop there in the 1990s.
This property is just two streets back from Broulee beach and minutes from the family favourite: Candlagan Creek. The huge home not only features four bedrooms and two bathrooms but also has a whopping 4.5m x 7.3m rumpus room, perfect for those stormy coastal days relaxing with the family. Throw in a pool table for the adults or a ping pong table for the kids, and let the competition begin!
5 Wood Avenue, Queanbeyan NSW
The extra living space in this home reflects the uniqueness and charm of the entire property. A small cottage in the highly sought after heritage listed streets of Queanbeyan, the home boasts original brick fireplaces, wood flooring and wainscoting.
The huge fourth bedroom (above) is perfect for a reading room, games room or an office space.
32 Polilight Street, Dunlop ACT
This immaculate three-bedroom, two-bathroom Dunlop home is what the agents describe as RTMI (Ready To Move In). Neat as a pin, with low maintenance gardens and ready for your personal stamp of style, the home is located on the outskirts of Canberra and offers easy access to nature reserves, parks and walking trails.
We love that the extra indoor space of this property is a cool central mezzanine. Put in a kids play lounge or a sweet chess set and your upstairs chill zone is complete.
