Overview
Historic charming home in a bushland setting, on 8 acres in iconic Pialligo!
Rich in history, Pialligo, once inhabited by the Ngunnawal people and following the establishment of the National Capital, became the kitchen garden of the growing city, as vegetables, orchards and fodder crops flourished in the fertile alluvial soils.
Today it is a much loved destination for its rural atmosphere, expansive nurseries, apple orchards, cafes and restaurants. All this, only approximately 15 minutes drive to the City centre, while 17 Kallaroo Road is uniquely, one of the few homes in Canberra less than 10 minutes walk to the airport!
Set amidst bush gardens and originally known as "Dairy Flat Cottage No. 3" this exquisitely charming 1940's farmhouse will captivate from first sight!
Established on a holding of approximately 8 acres of fertile land, the property includes a paddock, once home to horses, and park-like native gardens around the home, featuring many thriving eucalypts and shrubs, with abundant birdlife enjoying the restored bushland.
The wide front verandah with a new roof is a welcoming introduction to this spacious, character-filled home, steeped in history. High ceilings, picture rails, sash windows and a cosy fireplace are delightful features in the generous, open plan living area with lounge and family room, and continue through all original areas of the home. Additional spaces includes a sunroom / additional bedroom / home office or rumpus, plus an upper level sitting area or study.
The large country kitchen features a solid timber island bench salvaged from a Braidwood business, a gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven, double sink and a walk-in pantry.
Elegant glass panelled doors to the north aspect flood the dining room with winter sunlight and open onto the garden, and also feature in the adjacent sunroom. Attractive polished concrete floors extend all through the ground level.
Double doors provide a seamless transition to the extension and large, light filled study or rumpus, featuring LED downlighting, honeycomb blinds and external door to the garden.
The huge primary bedroom features walk-through robes, an ensuite with a claw foot bath, full length windows and glass door to the north, opening onto a paved area with a pergola. The large second bedroom offers a built-in robe and is close to the main bathroom.
The upper level extension features high raked ceilings with exposed beams, LED downlighting and cedar windows furnished with Roman blinds. It includes a study and third bedroom, with French doors to a Juliet balcony.
A charming studio in the garden has a raked ceiling and small verandah. There is also a chook house, tank, four raised veggie beds, two tubs, a garage and two sheds.
It is only a short drive to Campbell Primary and High schools, Brindabella Business Park, Majura Park shopping centre, the airport and recreation on the Molonglo River. There is ready access to the scenic bike path which follows the Molonglo River and lake into the City centre.
It would be hard to imagine a more idyllic, peaceful lifestyle in such a unique setting than the one on offer, on a generous landholding, so close to the City and airport.
Be tempted by this rare opportunity!
