Tucked quietly behind established gardens in a tightly held pocket of Reid, 1 Geerilong Gardens presents a rare offering on the city fringe - a residence rich in character, warmth and enduring appeal.
Located in the heart of Canberra's Inner North, the home is within walking distance of the Canberra City Centre, Australian War Memorial, Lake Burley Griffin, Russell offices and C5 precinct - offering unparalleled convenience.
The home has been lovingly extended and presents a modern version of the Reid era. Commanding a prime position, it faces onto a large open public park which affords extra solitude but also allows all sorts of activities for a growing family.
The block is approximately 1,101m² and enjoys a northerly aspect. The home has been thoughtfully designed and ties together the new with the old by way of finishes and motifs, and its internal planning. Separate living areas are arranged throughout the house with a slight air of mystery, but the flexible layout includes a separate retreat or studio and allows for different living options.
A classic ‘Canberra Reds’ brick driveway and mature landscaping create a timeless first impression.
The entrance welcomes you with rich Jarrah flooring and a spacious and comfortable sitting room, setting the tone for the home's elegance. This room has doubled as a music room in the past. The formal lounge and dining area - complete with a gas fireplace - provides an attractive space for hosting family and friends, along with the adjoining, private courtyard.
At the heart of the home the open plan kitchen features stone benchtops and electric cooktop and oven, and looks on to a private courtyard. The adjacent family room and study are sun filled from the North. These rooms could easily be reconfigured to offer a large casual area next to the kitchen.
The master suite includes an ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles and in floor heating, while bedrooms two, three and four are all fitted with built-in robes. Alternatively the main bedroom wing could be reconfigured as a separate parents’ area with a generous walk-through wardrobe/ change room and ensuite.
A separate self-contained studio offers exceptional flexibility, complete with a kitchenette, office, its own toilet and sitting area fitted with gas heater and reverse cycle cooling/ heating - ideal for extended family, guests or a private workspace.
