4 Ambalindum Street, Hawker ACT 2614

If you believe that buying the worst house in the best street is a great real estate strategy, then opportunities don't come much greater than this - and its five bedroom layout with the roomy dimensions of yesteryear mean it's likely to be an opportunity that doesn't last long.

Originally built for the accountant of a popular building company, it's not hard to imagine its oversized proportions were designed to uncompromised standards by an industry professional who understood quality. And offered now as its first sale in 39 years, it's your perfect opportunity to inherit all of that infrastructure, input and ingenuity.

Sprinkle some style, manufacture some magic or fabricate some flair and this expansive five bedroom home is likely to pay you back in handsome dividends. Solidly constructed with a functional layout on the inside and fabulous potential on the outside, it offers a tantalising project for home-makers or investors who are willing to roll up their sleeves and return it to its former heyday while still living on the premises.

Inside you'll find an oversized entry hall that leads to the enormous open plan formal lounge room and adjoining formal dining room. Both rooms are filled with natural light and can be updated or adapted in multiple ways to suit the family needs of 2014.

The kitchen has a walk in pantry, electric cooker and dishwasher together with an open plan meals area that opens to a sunroom via sliding doors.

A long hallway leads to the home's five bedrooms, all with wooden floor boards and built in robes. The main bathroom is enormous and, once renovated, is certain to add an additional wow factor.

A free-standing brick studio at the rear could easily be adapted into a great children's games room, parent's retreat, rumpus or home office.


Sitting on a 1200m2 block, even the outer dimensions are enormous with sprawling gardens providing room to expand or space to grow. A disused in-ground pool hints at the potential on offer for further development or the creation of a central garden area that could turn thumbs green with envy.

Dig, drill, dream and design - it's a delight for anyone who has fantasised about living in the heart of Hawker but has always been deterred by the price tag.
