Gorgeous home in a wonderful location!
This charming Tocumwal has undergone some beautiful renovations and effortlessly combines the old with the new. The home is not short on space, delivering three bedrooms, two living areas and extensive native gardens at both the front and back. Beautiful vintage features have been preserved alongside modern updates – as new roof, boosted insulation and timber framed double glazed windows throughout.
The form is instantly recognisable with its mix of fibro and weatherboard, quaint pitched roof and deep front veranda. No.8 enjoying a pleasant leafy outlook as deep garden beds teem with life, texture and colour. To one side a long driveway takes you to the original garage that is set deep within the block.
It all happens in the bright renovated kitchen, with its delightful pops of blue and sunflower yellow. Big windows bring loads of sunshine to this cheerful hub that flows openly to the timber decking and pretty gardens. A big central island bench and endless cabinetry provides a spot for everything, including a seamless European style laundry.
We love the high ceilings, patterned glass, bakelite door handles and the rich silky oak internal doors and picture rails. The front living space with its lovely windows framing views to Black Mountain. French doors open wide, allowing the living room to easily flow to the airy combined dining and kitchen. Feel good colour choices bring an enchanting spirit to this family hub and there is so much space! The whole area tipping to the north-east where a sheltered deck allows you to enjoy alfresco dining or simply relaxing, whilst overlooking the private rear gardens.
There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bathtub and separate toilet. The spacious front bedroom would make an ideal home office, taking care of working from home. While a further two generous sized bedrooms feature built-in-robes and big windows that welcome northern light. The bathroom is pretty in crisp white and deep blue, with delicate border tiling in art deco florals to match the original glass light fittings that populate the home.
Quinn is a sleepy cul-de-sac that culminates in the sprawling Finn Street Parkland. The street is famed for its historic Tocumwal's that sit back behind mature and leafy gardens. These timber cottages have an interesting story-brought over from Tocumwal, New South Wales after World War II to help with Canberra's housing shortage and now a much-loved part of the cities architectural landscape.
The central locale connects you to a lively mix of independent cafes, restaurants, and shops while ample green spaces, shared bike and walking paths, and beautiful street trees create a tranquil village experience. The home is handy to several schools and moments from O'Connor Ridge Nature Reserve. It is an easy stroll to the popular eateries of O'Connor shops and not far from the vibrant Braddon and Dickson precincts, the CBD and the ANU.
