This stylish, renovated home is set amidst picturesque gardens, in an attractive and quiet street, shaded by claret ash trees. The exterior is finished in a contemporary neutral tone and new windows and awnings, to living areas and bedrooms, add to the excellent street appeal.
Facing north, the fabulous, light filled open plan living area takes in the outlook over the exceptional gardens through full length windows. Living areas will be bathed in sunlight over the cooler months. Fresh white decor, large floor tiles and halogen downlighting contribute to the chic presentation. A ceiling fan and reverse cycle air conditioner easily maintain comfort year round. The original fireplace brickwork, presently covered, suggests the possibility of restoration for added cosy winter ambience. To create more space, the dining area and kitchen have been extended. The stunning new kitchen has good bench space and an Ariston, 900 mm stainless steel oven with a five burner gas cooktop and a stainless steel dishwasher. A pantry and many cupboards complete this gourmet kitchen. The European laundry has its own external door.
From the dining area a sliding glass door opens onto an impressive rear deck, covered by a pitched roof pergola and laserlight sheeting. This wonderful outdoor living space is completely private and overlooks the secure rear garden. To one side a sheltered, paved area provides another inviting nook, adorned by a beautiful pink camellia.
The attractive floor tiles extend up the hallway into the updated bathroom. Bedrooms are large, light and airy. All are equipped with ceiling fans, white wardrobes and quality carpets. Slimline venetians are fitted throughout the home. Sunlight will pour into the bedrooms over winter and each has a restful outlook over the garden.
The gorgeous gardens are an outstanding feature of the home and reflect the creativity and skill of the horticulturalist owners. Shrubs screen the delightful front garden, which features claret ash, rhododendron, crepe myrtle, native shrubs and English box, expertly trimmed but also hardy. Three garden sheds are sited unobtrusively around the rear garden. The paved driveway provides ample parking and there is additional off street parking
From this peaceful inner north location it is a short walk to Dickson College, Rosary Primary, Majura Primary, the Catholic University, playing fields, Watson shops and the much anticipated Downer shops when completed. All the buzz of the vibrant Dickson centre is just a short distance. Walking and mountain bike trails on nearby Mt. Ainslie and Mt. Majura are another of the great pleasures of living in the area. There is a network of bike paths into the City Centre and ANU. A single bus ride will take you into the CBD and in coming months, a huge additional benefit will also be access to the future light rail route.
Discover this north facing treasure and its lovely gardens, in the perfect location!
