Situated in one of Griffith's peaceful, leafy streets, in the sought after inner south, is this original Canberra red brick cottage, set amidst pretty gardens, on a large, level block of approximately 916 m2.
Whether you are in search of an historic cottage to update or have been waiting for that perfect blank canvas on which to build the home that you have planned and visualised for so long, this property may well be the one!
Well maintained throughout, the current north facing 3 bedroom home has fresh white décor and is comfortable as it is. A sunny, spacious entry opens to the comfortable L-shaped lounge, warmed by a gas heater. The bright 'eat-in' kitchen has an upright electric stove and pantry. The three bedrooms are spacious and each has a built-in robe. Updated some years ago, the bathroom has a separate toilet. Carpets cover pine flooring in living areas and all bedrooms.
Car accommodation is provided in a long garage with storage at one end and an adjoining carport.
The sunny, largely private rear garden has extensive areas of neat paving and there is a small, covered entertaining area. A graceful silk tree and neatly trimmed shrubs form an attractive border around the garden, which is enclosed with new Colourbond fencing on two sides. Brush fencing securely encloses the garden at the front. Towards the north of the property, a sheltered nook, graced by a mature camellia and yellow banksia rose on a romantic archway, makes an inviting spot for morning coffee.
Standing in the middle of the rear garden you are able to visualise the potential that this prime patch of real estate has, reflecting on the peace and privacy of the location and the fabulous design options that the north aspect of the block provides. The long northern boundary of this 916 m2 rectangular block measures approximately 43 metres, 44 on the south, 21 on the eastern edge and 21 on the western street frontage.
The attractive, tree lined street itself retains the grace and charm of the past, with understated and harmonious renovation or re-building of many homes.
All the benefits of an inner south lifestyle can be enjoyed here. The location is just a stone's throw from Canberra Grammar school and an easy walk to the Manuka café and shopping precinct and is a short distance to Griffith shops and of course, Kingston and the foreshore. A pleasant stroll will take you to the nearby nature reserve above Red Hill, bounded by Mugga Way.
Realise your dreams here, in a location which has seen some of Canberra's earliest development.
