Occupying a wonderful position, a few minutes' walk from the independent café's, restaurants and boutiques of new Campbell, is this original weatherboard charmer. Set within a quiet loop street and overlooking parkland, this three-bedroom, cosy family home, enjoys north facing living areas, ample light and generous garden. It presents a fabulous opportunity for sensitive update or brand-new development, capitalising on the incredible location.
Feakes Place is a residential street, encircling a small central reserve. The area is famous for its proximity to the significant monuments of Anzac Parade, War Memorial and array of well-tended parks. The shared biking and walking paths of the Lake are across the way and the bushland reserve of Mt Ainslie is close by.
Soft grey weatherboards and crisp white timber windows, lend a picturesque feel, and the home's raised floor level, gifts elevated views to the opposing parkland from the living room. Timber floors flow underfoot, and high ceilings feature throughout. There is a calming ethos here, well worth preserving, a depth of quality and story that you only find in homes with this kind of longevity. The canvas has a raw appeal and sense of history, ripe for a modern update, that creatively fuses past and present.
The sunlit living space flows to dining room with large servery, providing a social and functional connection to the kitchen. There is a lovely character to the original white timber cabinetry, and the open shelving is perfect for curated display. A large window frames the open expanse of the garden.
A hallway leads to three bedrooms that centre around a rustic clad bathroom, separate toilet and large laundry. All bedrooms have built-in-wardrobes and large windows that welcome light.
The block is surrounded by trees and enjoys ample soft lawn, while a wooden gate provides car access to the garage. At 634m2 there is lots of scope for beautiful landscaping, development, stunning re-build or simply opening the original cottage, forging a stronger connection to the peaceful grounds.
