Set amidst landscaped gardens, in a lovely street shaded by a canopy of oak trees, this well presented, Canberra red brick home has excellent street appeal. Constructed in 1963 and thoughtfully extended a few years later to relocate a bedroom and to add a spacious rumpus room plus a large master bedroom with ensuite, it offers a relaxed lifestyle with three separate living areas and delightful gardens.
The sunny front lounge is a welcoming introduction to this well maintained and character filled home. Adjacent, the spacious informal living area has a cosy atmosphere and comprises kitchen, dining area and extended family room, with a view over a mauve Crepe Myrtle. The 1960's kitchen has plenty of space and is very functional. A Panasonic reverse-cycle air conditioner and a gas wall heater, with a vent to the lounge, maintain comfort.
There is good separation of living areas and the large rumpus room is situated at the opposite end of the home and has an internet connection and gas wall heater. Adjacent to the rumpus is the generous master bedroom, which offers a wall of built-in robes and an ensuite.
Sunlight brightens the three bedrooms at the front of the home. The largest of these, previously the master bedroom, has a wall of built-in robes. The main bathroom has been updated with full height tiling and has a separate w/c, which also may be accessed from the laundry.
At the rear of the home there is an inviting, covered entertaining area, sheltered by a number of mature camellias and a fern. This fabulous outdoor living area overlooks the private, beautifully planted rear garden, an outstanding feature of the home. Nurtured for over fifty years, it hosts a rich profusion of camellias, roses and other delights, planted around a level turfed area, the perfect place for children to play. There are also a number of productive, raised veggie beds and the garden is safely enclosed. Enjoy the peace of this lovely garden, which promises a spectacular display in spring.
Camellias screen the garage, which is fitted with a roller door and there is additional off-street parking on the driveway.
The long established neighbourhood is friendly and quiet. A short walk along the shady street will take you to the new Downer cafe overlooking playing fields, while the vibrant Dickson centre is a comfortable stroll. The prime location is within area for a selection of well-regarded schools and colleges. Bus transport is nearby, offering a 15 minute trip (approximately) into the City and the new light rail route will be just a few minutes' walk. Yowani Country Club (golf and bowls), Lyneham tennis courts, Dickson swimming pool, walking and mountain bike trails on Mt. Ainslie and Mt. Majura are all within easy reach.
