Flanked by beautiful oaks, #40 Stuart Street Griffith is without question, a prime example of a classic Canberra home. Gracious yet understated, and set on a valuable parcel of land, some 1100m2 approx. this double brick 1940's home is charming, with many original features tastefully retained after substantial extensions over many years.
Quite formal gardens, with structured and richly planted garden beds, meandering red brick paths, lush lawns, a magnificent specimen magenta magnolia tree featured to the front, and beautiful thick hedges, the garden very much complements the property. Double brick, with cedar sash windows and high ceilings, the house is substantial with approximately 186m2 internal living space. Downstairs incorporates a dining room with fireplace, large front lounge, bespoke solid timber and black granite kitchen, generous sightly segregated family room, the fourth bedroom and a modernised bathroom.
Suitably proportioned to mirror downstairs, the upper bedroom wing provides three queen rooms, two with built-in robes and a two-way ensuite bathroom. Beautiful north eastern windows provide leafy views and excellent natural light.
With the warmer weather approaching, enjoy relaxing weekends entertaining under the covered pergola. Privacy is assured with the hedges so beautifully established, and given the house placement on such a large block, there is plenty of space for a pool should this be on your wish list. A nicely converted garage with back store room could be that extra study or guest accommodation, and an adjoining double carport also adds value.
With RZ2 Zoning also, there is potential for future development (subject to ACTPLA approval) in time.
