This unique and very special property is a delightful two-storey duplex with an abundance of charm and character. If you're looking to get your foot in the door in the tightly held Inner South market, you could not ask for a better opportunity.
The 629m2 (approx) block provides ample room, potential and an ideal orientation.
Inside, a compact layout emphasises the warm cottage ambience. On one side of the entrance hall is a cosy dining and lounge area with plenty of natural light streaming in, where you can sit, relax and admire the tranquility of the pond through the full length windows. On the other is the study nook and original eat-in country style kitchen with stone bench tops.
The upstairs accommodation includes three good sized bedrooms, and a functional bathroom.
This fabulous property maintains many of the original features, including timber staircase and window frames. There are a few clever additions, such as a loft above the stairs, and an additional powder room to the rear. Yet the home is also ideal for a savvy renewal or renovation at your discretion.
Extending off the living areas is a large, covered outdoor entertaining deck, perfect for year round gatherings. From there the backyard is beautiful, with its established gardens creating an almost magical, private sanctuary. Graced by an established, rambling Cedra Labra Tree, a magnificent old black fig tree and established orange tree, loaded all year round with oranges.
To the rear of the garden is a studio as well as a large converted garage, presently used as studio gallery and Library.
Set amidst the sun bathed private front courtyard is a magnificent 25 years old Magnolia tree, simply breathtaking when in bloom.
All this is surrounded by a tall, dense hedge offering extreme privacy and extra security by electric gates and intercom system.
Walking distance to Manuka, Griffith, Kingston, Narrabundah shops. Train station and bus depot markets, Kingston Foreshore, Fyshwick markets, St Benedicts church and school, Narrabundah college and other first class educational facilities are all only a short drive away.
