14 Astrolabe Street, Red Hill ACT 2603

CHEZ MARIYA
4 BEDROOMS, 3 LIVING SPACES, 2 BATHROOMS 1 CHANCE
When an owner loves their home enough to christen it with a family name cast in wrought iron, it's not hard to imagine the extra love and care that must have been showered across the entire property and grounds. And, after many years of devotion, the legacy of Chez Mariya is now available for adoption into the care of another equally-doting owner.

The fabulous position on a one-way street in the upper reaches of Red Hill and its rock solid double brick construction are just the external attractions but, inside, you'll find a four bedroom, three living space, two bathroom layout that's not only inviting but also adaptable for renovators and visionaries.

The homes updated kitchen sits at the home's heart, forming a natural hub for day-to-day activity that controls the pulse of movement from the front door to rooms at the rear. Stylish and spacious, it has generous stone benchtops, pristine cupboard storage and a casual meals setting that makes conversation easy for everyone while the chef cooks up a storm. The kitchen also adjoins the wrap-around living areas and radiates out into each of the bedrooms.

Alterations over the years have given the home both modern touches that complement the charm of the 60s, but it's also a home that opens up endless possibilities with some thought and expertise - not to mention the potential to start completely afresh and create your own castle in the clouds.

But its enviable location across the road from four pillars of Red Hill education is something you'll never want to change. Imagine Montessori, a specialist French school, Possum Magic and Red Hill Primary all within a minute's walk, as well as nearby Boys Grammar just a short drive away. It's a parent's nirvana for anyone who believes in the value of good education.

Inspections are not only encouraged, but should be essential, for astute purchasers. Private viewings for busy people can be readily accommodated.
