This recently renovated, privately built home is situated on a generous block of approximately 790m2, in one of the most sought after streets in the inner north, sheltered by a canopy of oaks, and just steps from the thriving Dickson precinct!
Mature shrubs screen the front garden. Freshly painted trim and timber work on the front verandah adds to the instant appeal of this mid-century home, complemented by the brick structure of the fireplace and colonial windows.
The front door opens to fresh white decor and beautiful Tasmanian oak flooring, which extends from the entry through living areas and is showcased in the spacious lounge. The original brick fireplace is now enclosed and ducted gas heating has been installed, but the mantelpiece is an attractive feature and there is the possibility of restoration for a cosy winter atmosphere.
The U-shaped open plan living flows into the dining area and sparkling kitchen. Newly installed and never used, it gives the home a "brand new" feel and features glossy white finishes, a double pantry and a Bellini glass cooktop, rangehood and oven.
The kitchen leads into the renovated laundry which has been opened up to provide flow through from the hallway and living areas onto the rear entertaining space. There is additional convenient access from the laundry into the stylish, brand new bathroom, also never used. It features a bath, separate shower, storage and full height tiling.
Soft new carpet has been laid in the three spacious bedrooms, all of which have a wall of modern built-in robes, while there is additional quality shelving in the master. Charming, colonial sash windows frame an outlook over the garden from the front bedrooms.
The rear entertaining area covers a vast expanse, large enough for a number of outdoor settings. Overlooking the private, large level rear garden, it is the perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet of the location. The private front verandah offers another great spot to relax. A garden sheds sits behind the carport and there is ample parking on the driveway.
The magnificent oaks create an appealing streetscape, marking the change of seasons and underlining the long established feel of this early Canberra suburb. From this brilliant location it is just a stroll to shops, cafes, restaurants and all the services of the Dickson centre, as well as a light rail stop in the near future. A selection of well regarded local schools is within walking distance and it is just 15 minutes travel into the City centre and the ANU.
All the work has been done in this comfortable, stylish home, in a premium position, so all that remains is to move in and enjoy all that the location has to offer!
