Nestled at the base of Mount Ainslie and directly opposite Remembrance Nature Park, 49 Cobby Street represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a home in one of Canberra's most tightly held locations. Elevated on a 743sqm parcel with a perfect northerly aspect, this charming red-brick residence combines bushland serenity with effortless access to the city's cultural and professional heart.
Step inside and discover interiors that are as versatile as they are inviting. A spacious lounge and dining area, anchored by an open fireplace, creates a warm gathering space, while the multipurpose family/sunroom with its own private entrance offers the flexibility of a dedicated home office, creative studio, or sun-drenched playroom. The kitchen, overlooking the established gardens, is both functional and stylish, featuring stainless steel appliances, abundant storage and polished hardwood floors that flow seamlessly throughout. A timeless, professionally curated neutral palette ensures every space feels refined, adaptable and ready for your personal touch.
The accommodation is generous, with the master suite framed by a pretty bay window, while year round comfort is delivered by ducted gas heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning and the glow of a working fireplace.
Outdoors, the secure rear garden is a private retreat, a place for children to play, pets to roam, and gardeners to indulge. Towering pittosporum hedges and rolling lawns are complemented by a striking colonnade of Manchurian Pears at the front, creating both privacy and a sense of arrival.
Here, lifestyle takes centre stage. Enjoy bushwalks and bike rides from your front door, weekend picnics around Lake Burley Griffin just moments away, or world class dining and culture in the city within minutes. The Parliamentary Triangle, Russell Offices, and Canberra Airport are all a short drive, while Mount Ainslie's lookout is just up the hill, a reminder of the privileged position this home commands.
