What's around 2 Holland St

There Is No Place Like Home

There are houses that photograph beautifully, and then there are houses that just feel good when you're standing in them. 2 Holland Street is the latter. Set on a corner block in Old Macgregor, it's a three-bedroom home with a little personality, a beautiful backyard and the kind of spaces that make everyday life feel easy. Inside, the sunken living and dining room is an immediate favourite. It's a subtle nod to the home's 1970s design, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light giving the space a warmth that's difficult to recreate in newer homes. The kitchen has its own corner of the house, with gas cooking, a dishwasher and good storage. It's functional without trying to be the centre of everything, leaving the living spaces to actually feel like living spaces. The bathroom has been beautifully renovated, while all three bedrooms are generously sized with ceiling fans. Heating and cooling are already taken care of too, which in Canberra is less of a feature and more of a necessity. But outside might be where this home wins you over. The landscaping has a modern Australian feel, with established planting framing a backyard that has been designed to be lived in rather than simply looked at. There's a proper patch of grass, fruit trees and lockable shed. And then there's the deck. Large, covered and genuinely inviting, it's the kind of space that works just as well for dinner with friends as it does for a quiet Sunday afternoon. Add an outdoor table, something on the barbecue and a few people who weren't planning on staying quite so late. There is currently no garage or carport, but the corner block provides an opportunity to explore future car accommodation, subject to the relevant approvals. The property accomodate a 2 car spots uncovered. That's probably what I like about 2 Holland Street. There's enough here that you can simply move in and enjoy it. And enough possibility that, eventually, you can make it yours.
