Situated in Canberra's cultural heartland within a short stroll of Lake Burley Griffin and the Australian War Memorial, this elegant and inviting cottage in a 1,045m2 block has the added benefit of a separately metred and self-contained garden studio with airy raked ceilings.
Promising a relaxed lifestyle, living areas in the main home unfold over a single-level, rich with the retained period hallmarks of picture rails, moulded-batten ceilings, sash windows and a charming triple-aspect sun parlour currently in use as a study.
Harmonious upgrades have continued to enhance the gracious appeal, with the kitchen a prime example. The original, deep chimney breast now houses a sleek induction cooktop and 900mm oven while a fluted farmhouse double sink sits under a window that provides views over the sunny, elevated terrace to the lovely back yard.
Ducted heating and cooling, a solar system, and 15,000L of water storage with grey-water irrigation capability also bring the desirable sustainability for 21st century life.
With its location only a 15-minute walk from Canberra centre, this well-connected home would be ideal for creatives, professional couples or downsizers looking for a blend of versatility, character and modern lifestyle spaces.
