What's around Jalanga Crescent
Townhouse description
“Enduring Simplicity Delivered in Delightful Dirk Bolt-designed home”
##Another sold by Phyllis - $667,000**
In the six years Dutch architect Dirk Bolt spent in Canberra in the 1960s, he made his mark designing notable homes, such as this townhouse treasure in Aranda, developing a special 'Canberra' architectural language he called 'rational, functional and beautiful'.
That's immediately evident when the front door of this Jalanga Crescent classic opens to reveal a gorgeous handcrafted timber banister which always elicits admiring remarks from visitors.
Bolt's preference for using higher quality materials and fittings for the things people touch and see, is evident throughout. Exposed rafters to the second-floor bedrooms and deep timber window sills have been painted an airy white and bring an appealing sense of structural intent and integrity.
Downstairs, sympathetic renovations have added double doors from the updated kitchen and adjacent open living space to a private northerly entertainers' deck that ushers in blue sky views from its elevated position and benefits from buffering parklands opposite.
It's a theme that continues in the home's broader setting. The many nearby bushland corridors and mountain reserves are a windfall for anyone who is an avid walker, runner or cyclist and bring the added bonus of connecting all of the wonderful assets of Aranda, including the community-focused Two Before Ten café and 10 Yards restaurant, just a two-minute stroll away.
This enviably walkable neighbourhood also puts many other amenities within easy reach including excellent schools, playing fields, medical clinics and the retail offerings of the Jamison Centre. A bus stop at the end of the street connects you to Belconnen Town Centre, ANU, University of Canberra and the CBD within minutes.
