For those wanting to establish themselves within the heart of the Inner South, look no further than 37 Carnegie Crescent. Located along the picturesque tree-lined street, this mostly original brick home holds all the charm you want from an older home, while also promoting the opportunity to further improve.
The generous 772m2 elevated block offers great views to the rear. Internally the home offers a sizable floorplan, the generous lounge is north facing and perfectly positioned to capture the best winter sun. A decent dining room opens onto the generous rear entertaining deck, recently re-roofed. A usable kitchen with plenty of storage leads to three good-sized bedrooms. Each bedroom has large windows to let in the stunning light and capture the relaxing views. All three have built-in robes. The separate toilet and bath, in clean, original pink, round out this character-filled home. High ceilings from yesteryear work perfectly with the recently sanded and varnished original timber floors.
Outside in the large back yard, there is an abundance of fruit trees: nashi pear, apple, olive, fig, medlar, lemon, mandarin, feijoa, thornless blackberry, and locquat.
Nearby are the established picturesque Manuka shops and Griffith shops, brimming with coffee houses and eateries, including the local supermarket. Not far is the trendy Kingston foreshore with a different vibe of cafes, dinner and entertaining venues on one side and beautiful outdoor walks on the other. Fresh produce for your own culinary explorations is available from the nearby Fyshwick Markets.
The location ensures you have a choice of sort-after schools: Telopea Park High School, Red Hill Primary, Narrabundah College, as well a selection of popular private schools such as St Edmunds College and Canberra Grammar.
