Set amidst its neatly landscaped front garden, sheltered by an old oak tree, this beautifully renovated Canberra red brick home stands out for its great street appeal.
The new front door opens to a stylish open plan living area, decorated in fresh contemporary white. Attractive, commercial grade laminate timber flooring extends through living areas and hallway, while downlighting throughout adds a sparkle in the evenings. Ducted evaporative cooling and ducted gas heating ensure comfort year round.
The impressive new kitchen features white stone benchtops and eye catching splashback, a pantry with an automatic downlight, gas cooktop and ducted rangehood, Bosch stainless steel oven and dishwasher. A sleek wall of cabinets is cleverly built into the dining area and includes a handy computer nook. The full length windows are furnished with white custom-made venetians.
However from the moment you enter the home, your attention is drawn to a standout feature, the stunning entertaining area! Sliding stacker doors with quality drapes open onto a huge outdoor living area, to rival the best. Perfectly capturing the north aspect, it is sheltered by a high, pitched roof pergola, covered with Colorbond and some clear panels, to maximise comfort and enjoyment through all seasons. From here you can contemplate the private outlook over the lush, established garden, surrounded by dense hedging. An attractive hardwood screening wall to one side conceals the tandem garage and an integrated door gives access to the carport. It is easy to imagine relaxing here for hours with friends and family, while watching children playing on the soft turf.
Bedrooms are light and airy and are furnished with quality new carpets in charcoal, and modern blinds. The spacious master has a wall of built-in robes and a private outlook over the garden. The remodelled bathroom is finished in a striking dark shade with floor to ceiling tiles, complemented by a frameless shower screen. The bright, renovated laundry has good storage, adjacent w/c, and has access to the outdoor area.
In addition to the tandem garage and carport, there is off-street parking for a number of vehicles.
While enjoying the peace and serenity of the outdoor area, it is easy to forget that this brilliant location is so central, being just a short stroll along shaded streets to coffee at the new Downer cafe or the buzz of the Dickson centre. Nearby both Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura beckon, with the promise of enjoyable bush walks or mountain biking.
A selection of well-regarded local schools and colleges is within easy reach. Bus transport is close by and the new light rail route will be within walking distance. Bike paths also offer a short trip into the City centre. All the new owners need do is move in and enjoy living and entertaining in this fabulous home!
