Situated in an attractive, peaceful street, directly opposite parkland, this substantial three bedroom home has great street appeal and offers exceptionally large living areas with an elevated outlook. Well presented throughout, it is an outstanding opportunity for buyers wanting to add their own finishing touches, which also provides an inviting and comfortable prospect to move straight into.
Wide front stairs lead up to the terrace. The spacious and welcoming entry features a built-in shelving unit and the warmth of cork flooring. Double glass doors lead into the huge, L-shaped lounge and dining room. The impressive dimensions of the living areas are similar to those found in much larger homes. Full length windows take in the elevated and scenic outlook over the park. Presentation is excellent, with paintwork, drapes and carpets in good condition throughout. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning maintains comfort through the seasons.
With a perfect north aspect to the rear, sunlight pours into the dining area and the large kitchen, which includes a meals area. It is equipped with a St. George upright electric stove and a pantry and although original, is very functional. The potential to extend and take advantage of the north aspect is unmistakable.
Bedrooms too are spacious. The master has a wall of built-in robes and takes in the peaceful outlook over treetops. Bedroom two also takes in the view, while morning sun streams into the third bedroom and both have built-in robes. The bathroom is good condition and includes a bath, shower and a separate w/c, which has a hand basin.
The large rear garden slopes gently upwards. In the most elevated area there is a brick barbeque, a retaining wall around a garden bed and a shed in the corner.
The garage under the home has extra space and a bathroom at the rear. A sliding glass door gives access into the garden and allows in plenty of light. A small room to one side, equipped with a sink, was originally used as a photographic darkroom and now might be used as a cellar.
The park opposite has children's play equipment and plenty of room to kick a ball. It is a short walk to coffee at the local shops, or to Duffy pre-school or primary school while all the shops and restaurants of Cooleman Court are just a short drive. It is also a comfortable walk to St. Jude's primary or the Montessori school. Walking, horse riding and mountain bike trails are close by, as are river recreation areas. This sought after suburb is only a few minutes' drive from Woden or the City.
Beautifully maintained by its owners and now offered for sale for the first time in 41 years. Enjoy living in this spacious home from day one and put your own stamp on a property well worth the time!
