Superbly positioned just one house from Stirling Park and a short stroll to the Lake, this cherished home is being offered for sale for the first time. Set on an impressive 790 m² (approx.) block, the property presents two compelling options: enhance the existing residence or design and build your dream home in a prized Inner South location.
The current home features generous proportions and a flexible layout. A light-filled living room connects to a dining area with a servery to the kitchen. A glass wall separates the living space from a large family room that opens directly to the rear garden and garage. The original spacious kitchen is well equipped with enormous cupboard space, a Westinghouse electric stove with four-burner cooktop, Dishlex dishwasher and an Electrolux refrigerator.
The master suite includes a sitting area and elevated bedroom along with a separate shower room and a separate toilet. Three additional bedrooms offer excellent flexibility, with bedroom four located on the lower level featuring its own bathroom and private entry – ideal for extended family, guests or as a teenage retreat.
The main bathroom and separate toilet are conveniently located opposite bedrooms two and three and within easy reach of the living areas. Additional features include a laundry with external access, reverse cycle air conditioner in the dining area, gas heating in the living room and hallway and extensive storage throughout. Parking is well catered for with an automated single garage, carport and additional off-street space.
Tucked away in a quiet section of Clarke Street, this home features a generous, child-friendly rear garden with a variety of fruit trees - including cherry, pear and finger lime - as well as vibrant roses in shades of ruby, yellow, pink and orange. Gardeners will enjoy the space and potential for creating productive vegetable beds. At the front, a paved terrace offers the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee. Just one home away lies Stirling Park - a 52-hectare grassy woodland reserve, home to mature eucalypts and several rare and endangered plant species. Ideal for morning walks and outdoor play, it's a remarkable natural amenity for families and pet owners.
Whether you choose to move in and update over time or create something entirely new, this is a rare opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Canberra's most established and desirable neighbourhoods.
