Barely visible from the street, the upper level sits behind established gardens. A driveway leads to a double metal garage set well back on the block, with entry via the long front veranda. Wisteria climbs the open pergola, while the vintage front door and beautifully preserved patterned glass add plenty of character.
A Cape Cod-style extension has expanded the home, creating two private upstairs bedrooms with beautiful treetop views. Set on a quiet street close to parkland and woodlands, this spacious four-bedroom home offers plenty of room for families to grow, adapt and make their own.
The floor plan is practical and well connected, with several rooms opening through glass sliders to the gardens. At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with sliding doors at either end allowing natural light and cross breezes. It's a relaxed space for family life and easy entertaining, with a seamless connection to the outdoors.
The updated kitchen has a timeless feel, with soft white cabinetry, black granite benchtops and excellent storage. A large window above the sink looks across the expansive, level lawns, while the adjoining laundry offers generous space and convenient two-way access.
The master bedroom opens directly to the peaceful front veranda, offering flexibility to create a parents' retreat with a connected sitting room or home office. The second bedroom enjoys lovely northern light, with all bedrooms positioned close to the family bathroom, complete with vintage mosaic floors, bathtub and separate toilet.
A timber staircase leads to the private upper level, where two spacious bedrooms enjoy large windows and elevated views across the treetops. Morning and afternoon light add to the appeal, while a second bathroom and separate toilet are centrally positioned and finished in a fresh palette of crisp white and soft blue.
Hughes is a quiet, hidden pocket, ideally positioned close to the bustling Woden precinct, minutes from Canberra Hospital and Deakin. Surrounded by green spaces including the nearby Red Hill Nature Reserve and with excellent access to transport and a variety of schools, the home is also handy to all the wonderful restaurants and shops within the boutique suburbs of the inner south.
