This north-east facing, terrace-style townhouse has been fully renovated from top to bottom. The new lucky occupants, who could be busy professionals from the nearby Canberra Hospital or a small family, will have a spacious, easy-care, easy to maintain, entertainer's delight with minimal but eye-catching courtyard garden.
Entry is through a secure gate and internal double lock-up garage. The first floor contains a spacious living/dining room opening through sliding doors to a covered verandah that works as an entertaining area through all seasons and all weather. The kitchen/family area is sensational with a fully renovated generous kitchen fitted with tonnes of drawer storage, a walk-in pantry, stone benchtops and top choice Miele appliances of both ceramic cook top and a gas hob, convection/microwave oven plus a Pyrolytic oven, two-drawer F&P dishwasher, a range hood and a large fridge space. Extra cabinets surround the family meals area and this room opens to the terraced back courtyard garden. A powder room and laundry completes the first floor accommodation.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with built-in robes including the king-size master bedroom that has panoramic northerly views and a walk-through robe leading to the new ensuite. There is a brand new bathroom and separate toilet servicing the two other bedrooms. An attic ladder has been installed to access roof space storage and even the spacious landing has been cleverly utilised with a built-in ironing centre.
The very practical and functional architecture of this townhouse and the elevation of the site offers everything, possibly more, than a suburban residence, with large double garage and a wine cellar built under the stairs and further dry space beyond the garage.
