From the late 1940s Canberra's rapid growth resulted in around 200 homes being transported here from a WW2 air base in Tocumwal, NSW. Established in O'Connor in two groups of four cul de sacs surrounding parkland, the area is now known as the Tocumwal Precinct and its character is protected by heritage listing. At the centre of Canberra's booming inner north, with light rail coming soon, close to schools, amenities and the CBD, these originals are quickly being modernized by inspired renovators. Exemplifying the historic character, 14 Macarthur Avenue presents a rare opportunity to enter the precinct. The house's spacious rooms, high ceilings and open living area are a pleasant surprise for a home of its era, and combined with an appealing block and street frontage this a home a ready for the lucky future owners to colour next era of its life.
