Situated on a premium block of approximately 811 m2, on the high side of a quiet loop street overlooking a park and Greek Australian pre-school-childcare centre, this charming home has immediate street appeal, with many sash windows in the north facing facade. Built in 1952 by Jennings it features Canberra Red bricks from the historic brickworks in the area.
Beautifully presented throughout, with fresh neutral decor, the home enjoys a peaceful outlook from every room. Windows to the east and north frame the scenic, private view. A cosy gas log fireplace with mantlepiece enhances winter ambience and there is ducted gas heating. Quality wool carpet in a light tone and four glass panelled doors separating living areas, add to the elegant presentation.
Sunlight floods the delightful gallery or sitting area at the front of the home, which features a wall of sash windows, offering the perfect spot to entertain with a morning coffee. Gardens at the rear and on both sides are well screened.
Dining and kitchen overlook the private rear garden. Updated some years ago the neat kitchen features a gas cooktop, electric oven, good bench space and a pantry. The renovated laundry includes storage and gives access to the garden.
With a restful outlook to the streetscape, the spacious primary bedroom offers a built-in robe, and all three feature quality carpet. The bathroom has been renovated.
Bordered by native shrubs, the large rear garden is securely enclosed and offers plenty of grassy playspace, deciduous trees and a raised veggie bed. A separate garden at the side of the home includes roses and is well screened.
Built more recently in 2010, the garage has workshop or storage space at the rear, sisal insulation to the roof and a roller door. A water tank sits behind the garage.
From the established friendly neighbourhood it is only a short walk to cafes, restaurants and professional suites at Yarralumla shops, the primary school and tennis courts. Parliament House, Barton offices and the City are just a short drive or bike ride.
The best scenic lakeside recreation in Canberra is on the doorstep, with cycle pathways and picnic spots, as well as the Heritage Nursery and nearby cafe in its English garden.
Whatever your future plans, this inviting home presents a rare opportunity in an outstanding prime location!
