39 Cockle Street, O'connor ACT 2602

Auction | Wednesday 21st March at 6:00pm In rooms LJ Hooker Canberra City 182-200 City Walk
Located on the high side of this quiet & leafy street, metres from the Black Mountain Nature Reserve, this compact mid-century modern style home has a lot of funk and charm. The design was inspired by Marcel Breuer who was famous for his "butterfly design" whereby the house is divided into two wings of the butterfly with the living area on one side and the bedrooms on the other. There are only a handful of these builds in Canberra making it a rarity.
Inside, the home has a renovated kitchen complete, which overlooks the backyard. There is a generous open plan living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows facing North and East, capturing plenty of natural light. There are two bedrooms (each with built-in robes), including a massive main bedroom. The bathroom has also been updated. The ceilings are high, and there's polished pine flooring, ducted gas heating, and reverse cycle air conditioning.
Outside you'll find European style stonework and full brick construction, with the distinctive 'butterfly' roof. There is a single car port with storage shed, and a 1.5kW photo voltaic solar system to cut your power bills which is transferable to the new owner. The block is a comfortable 683m2, with a 33m Northern flank.
The auction date is set and the owner is keen to sell - so don't dare dawdle!
