68 Barada Crescent, Aranda ACT 2614

The original owners are now offering this rare opportunity to purchase their much loved family home in sought after Aranda.

The world was a different place when this delightful four bedroom home was constructed and beneath the charm of its extraordinarily high ceilings and quirky showcase cabinets lies a solid brick home that's proved it can last the test of time.

Effectively offering two main entrances, one directly from Aranda's green belt and the other branching off Barada Crescent, this family home offers privacy and an exceptional 1130m2 battleaxe block. There's also a wide north-oriented yard for pets and child's play as well as vehicle bays that allow easy turning or, alternatively, parking for four more cars outside the under-house four car garage.

The floor plan includes a formal main entry into the living room although, for everyday convenience, you'll probably be tempted to use the home's more accessible side entrance staircase. It's there you'll find a broad porch overlooking the grass before stepping across the threshold to an interior that was just as comfortable with vinyl record players and B&W television as it is to the current needs of family life in 2015.

First impressions will include the incredible sense of space created by the elevated ceilings and the novelty of fittings, fixtures and shapes that are not only inspiring and functional but also nostalgically stylish.

Rooms include a spacious master with BIRs at the front of the home that's discreetly separated from the living room and formal dining area. A short corridor leads back to the kitchen and family room while a servery between the kitchen and dining room keeps everything connected and within easy reach.

The side porch is also accessed from both the family room and living room, making it a convenient focal point for parties, dinner and social soirees.

At the rear of the home, facing the garden and green belt, are the remaining family bedrooms which all share the home's high ceilings and spacious dimensions.

Coupled with Aranda's enviable reputation as a premier address and the added attraction of bushland reserve at your rear door and walking tracks that lead directly to the Aranda Primary School and playing fields, this is a property that represents family values and a wonderful lifestyle.
