Full of charm, character and a beautiful sense of tranquillity, this delightful three-bedroom home is a little garden sanctuary, surrounded by established greenery, colourful blooms and inviting outdoor spaces. Positioned within the historically significant Pilbara Place development, designed in 1970 as part of Canberra's early exploration of Radburn-style urban planning, recognised for its thoughtful design and relationship with the surrounding landscape, the home offers a wonderful blend of architectural history, everyday comfort and natural beauty.
From the moment you arrive, the established front gardens create a warm and inviting welcome, with mature trees, flowering plants and lush greenery adding to the home's charm. A lovely introduction to the garden sanctuary that awaits beyond.
Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming, with a lovely front living room capturing leafy garden views and natural light. A separate dining area adjoins the practical kitchen, creating an easy, functional layout for everyday living, with gas cooktop and dishwasher. Three comfortable bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom with combination bath/shower and beautiful stained glass, while reverse-cycle heating and cooling to the living area and main bedroom ensures year-round comfort.
But it is outside where this home truly comes into its own. Lovingly established gardens are filled with beautiful roses, flowering plants, mature trees and lush greenery, creating a peaceful and private setting that changes with the seasons. Winding pathways invite you to wander and explore, connecting charming garden pockets and paved courtyards, each offering somewhere special to sit and enjoy the surroundings.
The generous covered rear deck is a particularly beautiful space, basking a north-easterly aspect, overlooking the gardens and providing the perfect setting for a morning coffee, relaxed afternoon or entertaining family and friends. A separate paved courtyard offers another inviting outdoor retreat, surrounded by the colour and beauty of the established gardens.
With a double carport, practical single-level floorplan and a garden that has clearly been nurtured and enjoyed over many years, this is a special opportunity to secure a home with heart, history and an abundance of natural beauty.
