Nestled within magnificent gardens in a picturesque street, this character home awaits a new family in search of an Inner South lifestyle. Built in 1961 the home is warm and welcoming and retains much of its original charm.
Set on approximately 1,297 square metres of land the front façade belies what lies within as there's plenty of room inside and out. The entrance foyer opens to the spacious formal lounge room featuring an open fireplace and built-in bookshelves with cupboards underneath. The lounge room flows to the dining area and through to the light-filled sunroom with double doors opening to the beautiful rear garden. Adjacent to the dining area is the centrally located kitchen.
There are six bedrooms, or five plus study, and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is well proportioned with two walk-in robes and opens to the rear terrace and garden. Bedroom six or study includes built-in shelving and cupboards and has outside access. The master bedroom, bathroom and study provide the perfect "parents' retreat". The study could also be utilized as a nursery. The enormous family or rumpus room also flows out to the terrace and garden.
Additional features include ducted gas heating, an open fireplace, abundant cupboard space throughout the home, single garage and workshop and single carport.
The garden will be a joy to spend time in with an abundant variety of plants, trees and shrubs including Banksia Rose, Sasanqua and Japonica Camellias, Kalmia, Hellebore, White Wisteria, Kiwi Fruit, Ginko, Crab Apple, Dogwood, Magnolia, Persimmon and Chinese Elm trees. An in-ground swimming pool caters to Canberra's hot summers while family and friends enjoy leisurely al fresco dining under the natural arbour of mature trees.
Offering a perfect blend of old world charm with exquisite gardens this much loved family home provides three options. Move in and enjoy all the current home has to offer, renovate and extend the solidly built double brick house or build your dream home in this fabulous location.
The location is superb - close to Canberra Grammar School, Red Hill and St Bede's Primary Schools and in close proximity to Narrabundah, St Clare's and St Edmund's Colleges, the Parliamentary Triangle, Red Hill shops and the Manuka shopping precinct.
