With some special homes, it's easy to imagine the good times that have been had there over the years. And so is the case with this charming Antill Street cottage that was constructed in 1961.

All the hallmarks of earliest Canberra ex-govies are still here: the Canberra clay bricks, double-hung windows, rectangular floor plan and original chimney breast, but there have been modest modern updates. These include the addition of a front pergola, a full-length rear timber deck, evaporative cooling and ducted heating.
The lounge benefits from a sunny northern aspect with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an outlook over the backyard. A retro kitchen and meals space make up the rest of the public spaces, both with leafy views to the front and rear. The master is a generous size and the two additional bedrooms are both spacious enough to fit double beds.

The home is conveniently located in the heart of the Inner North and offers a golden opportunity for families, first home buyers or investors with unlimited imagination. With delightful tenants in place till March 2022, buyers can take advantage of the income while getting plans drawn up for a renovation, extension or knock down rebuild. Or perhaps your preference is to move in and add your own personal touches on expiration of the lease!

The home is directly opposite the Dickson playing fields and a short walk from the Australian Catholic University, Dickson College and the Dickson retail and restaurant district. Other neighbouring schools include the Rosary and Majura Primary Schools with popular Daramalan College only a short walk or bike ride away. It's just 8 minutes to the city by light rail from the Dickson interchange and there are good transport routes to both the University of Canberra and Australian National University. Mt Majura is also on your doorstep for those who love the outdoors.
