If you are looking for beautiful surroundings, an Inner South lifestyle, and an exquisite home offering a superb blend of original and contemporary living space providing flexibility and comfort, then this residence is for you. One of the earliest homes in Deakin, this special property was built for the head gardener of the Prime Minister in 1939 and sympathetically extended and renovated in 1992 and 2001.
Situated on a magnificent block of 1,059 square metres (approx.) the light-filled three bedroom home is nestled within beautiful gardens. The open-plan living and dining area and kitchen feature hand-fired Mexican terracotta floor tiles and three sets of French doors lead to the glorious garden.
The centrally located kitchen includes a rich timber bench, Miele oven, four burner gas cooktop, Asko dishwasher and original Metters Canberra wood burning stove. The master bedroom is spacious and includes a fireplace and French doors lead to the garden. If you only require a two bedroom home, this spacious room could be utilized as additional living space or sunroom.
There is a study nook within the hallway and the well-appointed bathroom incorporates a laundry area. Year round comfort is ensured with Braemar ducted gas heating, underfloor heating and Brivis air conditioning.
Outside entertaining will be enjoyed by family and friends with two courtyards and the beautifully landscaped gardens are filled with horticultural delights including box hedges, camellias, azaleas, hellebores and Chinese elm, Golden Rain and Crabapple trees. A single garage, constructed in 2001 complements the home's architecture, and also includes a double rear door for trailer access if needed. There is also off street car parking and a delightful cubby house.
The location is outstanding - close to the Lodge, Parliamentary Triangle, Junior and Senior Girls' Grammar Schools, the Federal Golf Course, a leisurely stroll to the Deakin shopping precinct and in close proximity to the cosmopolitan shopping centres of Manuka and Kingston.
