Homes with this level of charm, integrity and future readiness are becoming increasingly hard to find. This double brick, original 1920s California Bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated from the ground up - including new ceilings, new subfloor stumps, a complete electrical rewire with 3 phase power provision for future EV charging, and full attic and subfloor access for ease of maintenance.
This residence is perfectly positioned with easy access to the CBD, train station and Canberra exit, offering a lifestyle of convenience without sacrificing character. From the moment you step inside, the warmth of traditionally-polished Kauri timber floorboards, high ceilings, wide skirting boards and picture rails sets the tone. Two generous bedrooms include built in wardrobes, with one featuring an original fireplace and timber mantle-a beautiful reminder of the home's rich history. Thoughtful upgrades such as re wiring and re stumping provide peace of mind while preserving its timeless appeal.
The light-filled rear extension is a true game changer, offering outstanding flexibility as a second living or dining space, third bedroom option or self-contained studio with its own bathroom and laundry. Bi-fold glass doors open to a private rear patio, creating the perfect setting for weekend BBQs, relaxed entertaining and quiet evenings outdoors.
Outside, the block has been transformed into a terraced natural oasis, featuring established cottage gardens, seasonal colour and scattered food forest plantings. Set on a generous 715sqm block with rear lane access, the property presents exciting scope for a shed or granny flat (STCA)-an increasingly rare advantage this close to town.
With a well-appointed kitchen featuring an island bench and stainless steel appliances, a modernised period-style bathroom, reverse-cycle air conditioning, gas heating and a cosy wood fire, this is a home designed for year-round comfort. The elevated front verandah completes the picture-an inviting spot to soak up the sun and watch the world go by.
Whether you're a first home buyer, investor or someone seeking a property with genuine upside, this is an opportunity that demands attention. Properties with this blend of character, land size and potential do not last long.
