Tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac, 1 D'Arcy Place presents a rare opportunity to secure a character-filled original home offering exceptional flexibility for families, extended living and future enhancement. Offered to the market for the very first time and set within an established pocket of Chifley just moments from local shops, parks and everyday amenities, this is a property where timeless character, adaptable accommodation and exciting potential come together.
Originally built in the 1960s, the home retains a wonderful sense of warmth and personality, with original features thoughtfully preserved throughout. A welcoming north-westerly facing entry lounge is anchored by a gas fireplace, while the adjoining dining area enjoys dual-aspect windows and an abundance of natural light from the enviable north-easterly aspect.
The kitchen combines timber cabinetry, electric appliances, ample storage and bench space, as well as a window overlooking the backyard. A versatile floorplan provides a range of options for modern family living, with the flexible use of bedrooms, additional living or study spaces allowing the home to evolve with its occupants.
Adding an exceptional layer of versatility, an attached granny flat was added circa 1970s and can be seamlessly incorporated into the main residence or utilised as a self-contained space when required. Complete with its own bedroom, ensuite, living area and kitchen, it provides an adaptable extension of the home, ideal for extended family, teenagers, guests or those seeking independent living accommodation without compromising the connection to the main residence. Timber flooring, dual-aspect windows and direct access to the rear patio and backyard further enhance this highly versatile space.
Outside, established gardens create a peaceful and private setting, with mature trees and greenery framing generous lawn areas. A greenhouse, garage with workbench, water tank and side access add to the practicality, while the expansive driveway provides excellent off-street parking.
For those looking towards the future, the RZ2 zoning presents an exciting opportunity to further capitalise on this established holding, subject to the relevant approvals. Whether you're seeking to preserve the home's existing character, undertake a considered renovation, embrace its flexible dual-living potential or explore its future development possibilities, this is a property with genuine scope to evolve.
Positioned within easy walking distance of Chifley Shops and moments from local parks, reserves and the broader Woden Valley precincts, this location combines everyday convenience with the established amenity of one of Canberra's sought-after suburban areas.
