16 Macquarie Street, Barton ACT 2600

This property has changed hands only once before with the current and only second owner since 1972. Situated on a large 989 sqm block with a sunny north easterly aspect to the rear, this home is perfect for modification. You can take a relaxing 5 min stroll to Lake Burley Griffin Foreshore, Restaurants, and trendy cafs in Kingston, Manuka, and the Parliamentary precinct are just moments away. Extended over the years the home has ample accommodation with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Formal lounge room with open fireplace. Separate dining room. Set in private, well established gardens. Barton is named after Australia's first prime minister Sir Edmond Barton and is a unique suburb with only 62 free standing homes. Opportunities to purchase properties like this do not come along very often. Originally built for the clerk of the senate, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Canberra history.
