A rare opportunity to secure a gracious 1920s residence in one of Forrest's most tightly held and desirable locations. Set on an expansive 1,245sqm block and surrounded by established gardens - a sweeping display of mature trees, azaleas, camellias and flowering shrubs - this charming single-level home balances period character with thoughtful modern updates.
Polished timber floors, high ceilings, timber sash windows and feature fireplaces bring warmth and personality to the traditional formal living and dining rooms, while an extended family room creates a wonderful connection to the garden and brick terrace. The renovated kitchen and dining area features timber cabinetry, travertine flooring, stone benchtops and quality stainless-steel appliances.
Accommodation is generous, with spacious bedrooms positioned along a central hallway. The main bedroom is a private retreat, generously proportioned and carpeted for comfort, with its own dressing room and updated ensuite featuring a stunning freestanding bathtub. The family bathroom and separate powder room provide excellent functionality.
With ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, plantation shutters, underfloor heating to the family room, an alarm system and a separate double garage with additional storage, this is a home designed for comfortable family living.
Ideally positioned within easy walking distance of Manuka Village, Forrest Primary School and Canberra Grammar School, this is a truly special home offering space, character and an enviable inner-south lifestyle.
