Open possibilities to creatively restore this characterful beauty or maximise the incredible development potential of the enormous block within the vibrant inner-north, bordering the thriving metropolis.
This charming cottage occupies an enviable position, overlooking parkland with ANU and CBD nearby. Cosy and inviting, froggatt.home, exudes a peaceful air, that belies her extraordinary position. Generous bedrooms overlook considerable gardens and the home opens via sunroom, to rear park-like grounds.
Set back from the road, secluded by mature plantings, the home has a driveway to rear garage providing ample space for parking several cars. Historically intriguing, the façade boasts brick with terracotta gable roof, timber corner windows and front porch of Canberra reds.
The interior is characterised by high ceilings, picture rails, timber sash windows and timber panelling. The kitchen, timber panelled with open shelving, has views overlooking the front garden, welcoming in light.
Two bedrooms with leafy views at the front of the home with access to the family bathroom with tub. An office with built-in-shelving leads to the master wing, with living space and ensuite with sunken spa bath. Separate access from the street creates the opportunity to utilise this as an independent space. A formal dining room, lounge and sunroom overlooks the native gardens. Lofty ceilings create generous spaces and the living area is warmed by slow combustion fire.
The expansive, meandering backyard is dotted with mature bottlebrush, olive trees and citrus. The sheer vastness of the grounds extends a majestic stillness and calm.
