Positioned in one of Griffith's most tightly held pockets overlooking the picturesque Bannister Gardens, this substantial family residence incorporates character with extensive contemporary enhancements.
Beyond its charming façade, the home provides a light-filled and uplifting interior where high ceilings, sash windows, solid walls and elegant proportions reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Freshly painted throughout and presented in a timeless neutral palette, the home offers a welcoming sense of space and refinement from the moment you arrive.
At the front of the home, a gracious formal lounge room provides a beautiful space to relax or entertain. Rich in character, the room features an original fireplace surround now fitted with a gas fireplace, creating a focal point that is both stylish and inviting.
The fully renovated kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with premium Smeg appliances and quality finishes, offering excellent functionality while complementing the home's classic aesthetic. Flowing living and dining spaces come together beautifully outdoors, while French doors and extensive glazing draw natural light throughout the home and create a wonderful feel to the surrounding gardens.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, with one currently configured as a music room, providing flexibility for growing families, guests, hobbies or working from home. The bathrooms have also been tastefully upgraded, for contemporary comfort while remaining rooms are sympathetic to the home's character.
Outdoor living and dining is equally impressive, with two inviting entertaining areas positioned on either side of the home. Well maintained gardens, quality fencing and refreshed outdoor surfaces create a private and secure setting easy to maintain. A fabulous swim spa, outdoor shower and twin gazebos further enhance the lifestyle appeal.
Perfectly positioned opposite Bannister Gardens, this exceptional location delivers an enviable Inner South lifestyle. Enjoy morning walks through the gardens, weekends spent exploring the cafés, restaurants and boutiques of nearby Manuka and Kingston, and easy access to the Parliamentary Triangle and the CBD. Families will appreciate the home's proximity to some of Canberra's most reputable schools, including Canberra Grammar School, St Edmund's College, St Clare's College & Narrabundah College.
