What's around 15 Stuart St

First Time Sale Since 1939 - 1095sqm Parcel of Land

In 1939, a builder named Leslie Dwyer moved his family into a newly-built Griffith home, just a short stroll to Manuka Village. When the construction industry waned during the Depression, Leslie turned his attention to his passion, photography. He set up his shop on Manuka’s 'The Lawns', the first shop ever to reside in this precinct. Over its lifetime the home has served multiple generations and seen a number of illustrious guests. After 78 years, the opportunity has arisen to become part of this home’s long history as it is offered for sale for the first time. Sitting on a substantial 1095 square metre block, this three bedroom cottage is in a brilliant location. It offers superb potential to live-in, renovate or redesign and build your dream home. The three-bedroom home is also remarkable for its historic role as a demonstration residence for a rendered finish on its exterior walls. Inside, it is characterised by an original kitchen and bathroom, period sash windows and high ceilings throughout. A sunroom added in the 1950s extends the living area and draws additional sunlight. Another charming original feature of this solid home is the attached garage with double timber doors. The neat rear garden setting is populated with a number of fruit trees among other shade trees, with side access enabling easy maintenance. Its inner south location is unbeatable, with schools and shops within walking distance and Manuka Village only minutes away. Features: - Central inner south location - Big 1095 square metre block - Close to Manuka shops and restaurants - Three bedrooms - Original kitchen and bathroom - Single garage with timber doors - Sunroom - Neat, tree-filled garden

An excellent, professional experience

I engaged Mario through my selection of Peter Blackshaw to manage the sale of my mothers home. It was the first time the property had been on the market since her father built the house in 1939. This was clearly a sensitive sale of a property with significant family history. I was extremely impressed and pleased with the marketing strategy, the hard work and of course the outcome achieved by Mario and his team. The whole experience, while being quite stressful, was made far easier by Mario's calm, professional approach. I'm more than happy to recommend Mario and team! Ian Heffernan... July 2017
