A timeless piece of Canberra modernist architecture, exemplifying the aesthetic sophistication and simple liveability of designs by the original architect, Neville Ward.
Situated on a glorious 1034m2 block in the heights of Narrabundah, with a huge park mid-way down the street, this location can't be beaten. It is only minutes to Canberra Airport, Kingston, Manuka and Barton employment and entertainment precincts; a short walk to Red Hill and Griffith shops and close to Red Hill and Callum Brae Nature reserves. Very quick access to Canberra Hospital and Woden, as well as Fyshwick (markets, Bunnings, Pialligo nurseries). Prime school access is a driving force for Narrabundah purchases: Red Hill Primary, St Bede's, St Benedict's and Narrabundah College are within walking distance; St Clare's and St Edmund's Colleges, and Canberra Grammar School are a five minute drive.
An outstanding opportunity to capture the glory of this gorgeous mid-century home or to maximise the quality of land. A substantial base, extended some years ago and now encompassing a very generous light filled split level living and dining zone, and kitchen that opens to the rear courtyard deck, with its canopy of grape vines. By December, this will be the perfect space for an Italian-inspired Sunday lunch with friends. The airy bedrooms, of which there are four, all enjoy private garden vistas, and two neat bathrooms. Beautiful timber bespoke cabinetry, bookcases and highlights, original herringbone parquetry flooring, exposed ceiling beams and beautiful floor to ceiling glass, add to the overall calm and warm feeling.
