Positioned within the tightly held Radburn Precinct of Curtin, this much-loved home presents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Canberra's architectural and community history. Privately nestled amongst established gardens and adjacent to the precinct's signature greenspace and winding walkways, the home offers a lifestyle defined by connection, tranquillity and enormous future potential.
Held within one of Curtin's most admired pockets, 10 Philp Place invites its next custodian to thoughtfully restore and renovate the existing residence, celebrating the heritage character that remains.
Inside, the home retains a warmth and authenticity that pays homage to the era, with quality timber flooring, timber detailing to the bathroom and a charming slow combustion fireplace adding character and nostalgia throughout. The flexible four-bedroom layout provides the perfect foundation for a contemporary transformation, while the expansive front, rear and side yards, filled and framed by established gardens, create an exceptional sense of space, privacy and possibility.
Beyond the home itself, it is the location that truly sets this offering apart. Extending directly to the shared greenspace, the property embraces the very essence of Radburn living - where walkways weave through landscaped reserves, neighbours know one another, and the surrounding homes reflect decades of creativity, care and long-term ownership. A stroll through the precinct reveals beautifully extended and reimagined residences, each uniquely contributing to the rich character and enduring appeal of the area.
Just a short walk or bike ride from local schools, parkland, playgrounds and ovals, the vibrant Curtin shopping precinct and Woden Town Centre, this is a rare opportunity to secure a future-proof position within one of Canberra's most historically significant and community-minded enclaves.
