Another Goodhaus Sold
Set within the tightly held Wakefield Gardens Heritage Precinct, this three-bedroom home presents a rare opportunity to secure a slice of Canberra's history. With a character-filled façade, established gardens and timeless features, the property blends heritage charm with modern updates and scope to extend on its 1000m² block.
Step inside to discover freshly painted interiors, high ceilings and original timber floors, balanced by modern comforts including ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling. The updated main bathroom features a brand-new shower and Roman blinds. A light-filled kitchen with classic gas stove overlooks the backyard, flowing to a spacious living and dining area that opens onto a beautiful timber deck - perfect for entertaining against the backdrop of Mount Ainslie.
The established gardens provide both privacy and tranquility, with hedging, lawns and self-seeding plantings creating a private sanctuary. Solar panels help reduce energy costs, while a fireplace offers the option to reinstate another cosy focal point. Tucked away yet incredibly well connected, the home is steps from Ainslie shops and just moments from Braddon, the CBD and the walking trails of Mount Ainslie Reserve.
For those with future plans, heritage guidelines allow for sympathetic extensions, allowing you to imagine how modern design could complement this home's timeless charm.
