From the street it plays its cards close, but step through the door and 37 Garfield Avenue opens up into a home with real space and even more flexibility. A former general store, it's been home to the current owners for the past 20 years. They came planning to stay five years and upgrade, but ended up raising two children here and never left. Along the way they've kept it well maintained and updated in parts, leaving a solid, character-filled home with room for the next owners to add their own touches.
Positioned in popular West Goulburn on approximately 328.8 sqm with a park right next door, you're handy to great schools, the CBD, and the Canberra exit, with a green outlook and open space right on your doorstep. Zoned R1 General Residential, the home also offers genuine home-business potential (STCA). The front entry and lounge room has been used as a photography studio and would suit a consulting room, office, or creative space.
There's flexible living throughout, with room to spread right out: the front lounge, a separate family and dining room off the kitchen with bare timber boards ready to be finished to your taste, and a huge 5.7m x 6.4m living room. The kitchen is well-appointed with a gas cooktop, electric under-bench oven, dishwasher space, and warm timber finishes, while a stylish barn door sits ready to define the kitchen and living space.
Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms with polished timber boards, a ceiling fan to one and electric wall-mounted heaters to two, along with a tastefully renovated bathroom. Downstairs, a large fourth room works equally well as a bedroom, home office, or another living area, the choice is yours.
There's been plenty of care put in already: fresh paint through most rooms, new blinds to two bedrooms, a new rear door, and a new gas Infinity hot water system. The home has two toilets, one in the upstairs bathroom and one external beside the laundry, and with plumbing already in place there's clear scope to add a third inside downstairs, along with a possible extra shower, or to bring the laundry indoors. A single garage and a neat yard round out the package.
A few finishing touches remain, such as some aesthetic work through the original stairwell and a little gyprock to complete, giving you the honest opportunity to add value and put your own stamp on a home that already delivers well beyond first impressions.
