This three-bedder sits on an enormous RZ2 zoned block, front and central within old Campbell and just a few steps from the popular Campbell shops. The plot is ripe for development with its surrounding of mountain ranges, parklands, endless Reserve. The original home has been updated and spills to sheltered patios on two sides. The back garden reading like a country estate, sheltered by leafy trees with a duo of cedar studios for flexible use.
The home is screened by green hedges and has a driveway that ushers to a gated carport. A large front patio drinks in northern light and there is a sweet alfresco spot on the front lawn, a real sun trap. This peaceful locale is rich in leafy community feels, with great local schools and whisper close to all the epicentres of the inner north, a stone's throw from the CBD.
There is a small foyer with a spot to hang coats and woollies, golden Tassie Oak floors and new tilt and turn double glazing's. The sweeping living space merges to the kitchen combined dining area. Sight lines capture nature at every turn, as doors open to the north-eastern frontage and the glorious afternoon light of the rear garden. There is built-in-cabinetry lining the walls in one corner of the living area and a warming slow combustion fire. French doors open onto the front sunroom…one imagines spending peaceful mornings here, cradling that first cuppa.
The kitchen is all seamless white cabinetry with a central island in stainless-steel. There is plenty of storage and a nice conversational openness with the dining space, all spilling to the second partially screened patio, which takes in the relaxed vibe of the large back garden.
The master bedroom is a work in progress, with a plumbed ensuite that is awaiting the tiling and fixtures of your choice and a yet to be competed walk-in-robe. There are an additional two bedrooms with built-in-robes and a renovated family bathroom with a bathtub. Adjacent sits and internal laundry that is also under completion.
The back garden shows off the huge size of this incredible plot, with its ranging grassed area and dotting of mature trees. There are two cedar studios, a cubby house, two garden sheds and an additional out building under construction. Think second dwelling, large extension or multi-res reaching upwards to capture those heady views. Either way, this is a rare and enormous block, ideally placed to take full advantage of fabulous light, aspect and a prime position within sought after Campbell.
Resting at the foot of Mount Ainslie and bordered to the south-east by Mt Pleasant nature reserve, a stone's throw from Braddon and the CBD - Campbell offers the best of city living and rural retreat. The home is an easy stroll to the local Campbell shops, with fab eateries including Hello Café and the ever popular La Bistronome. The nearby Campbell 5 is one of Canberra's most popular and vibrant pockets, with its collection of sought after bars, restaurants and cafés. The city centre is moments away and it is not far to the ANU, CIT, a mix of private and public schools and transport. Fabulous parks are a leafy stroll away as is access to the walking and biking trails of Lake Burley Griffin, Mt Ainslie and Mt Pleasant Nature Reserve.
