In one of Canberra's most coveted positions, this authentic 1966 architectural beauty has been a much-loved family residence for many, many years. Offered to the market for only the second time, it's strong aesthetics and timeless lines are presented in pristine original condition.
Secluded from the street, the entrance opens up to a private oasis of light filled interior spaces. Set low amongst established gardens, with a desired north aspect, tiered garden spaces encompass the back of this huge block. Enjoy the peaceful bush-land setting, whilst being just minutes to the City Centre, Woden Shopping and Business Centre, Canberra Airport, Hospital and Local Shops.
Cedar doors with fluted glass, cedar wall panelling, pelmet lighting and hand-crafted parquetry floors emphasise the period of construction and the attention to details. The house is built around an internal courtyard where an elegant Virginia creeper climbs over concrete block work; clumping bamboo, wisteria and fairy-light wrapped magnolia gently shade the gleaming blue concrete pool.
Solid construction throughout, full height windows take in the beauty of the internal courtyard and gardens where multiple living rooms extend off the kitchen and dining room. The generous main bedroom suite at the rear, has a walk-through robe, soothing lilac ensuite and an elevated deck to view the garden and invite summer evening breezes. Bedrooms 2 & 3 offer generous space with beautiful seagrass wallpaper and natural light.
The manicured backyard compliments the home with gorgeously tiered spaces, maples, orchards and a range of matured flora, setting the scene for garden lovers; flued fireplace to enjoy the evenings while looking at the starlight and a private creative studio to be utilised as a workspace or converted to whatever your imagination desires.
