What would life look like living in a gorgeous and rare terrace style home that has been fully renovated all whilst positioned in the heart of one of Canberra's oldest suburbs? Allow us to paint the picture for you.
Established some 97 years ago, the suburb of Reid for many is aspirational and generational. Positioned in the very heart of Canberra, the homes are built with character, heritage, and each have their own story to tell. With established gardens, gorgeous tree lined streets, mature and shaded canopies, delightful bush walking trails and on the fringe of some of Canberra's most famous monuments, a chance to buy within the history of our capital.
Number 16 is reminiscent of the delightful terrace homes in other cities, with gorgeously appointed solid timber floors, timber sash windows, uniquely comforting and cosy design, surrounded by established and mature gardens, this home oozes the character and charm of a bygone era whilst providing the finishes expected in modern living. Sitting on a generous and flat block of land, this home has been gorgeously and extensively renovated throughout, providing a gentle mix between old and new.
Located within a quiet street this home offers two spacious sun-filled bedrooms upstairs that both overlooking the generous rear garden, a beautifully renovated main bathroom and gorgeously renovated kitchen. The comfortable living space downstairs is the perfect size for lounging and perhaps converting the current enclosed fireplace back to its former glory could be the perfect project for those cooler nights ahead.
This home represents a unique buying opportunity to purchase in a premium blue-chip suburb and a location that is unparalleled, within a short walk to many wonderful schools, Anzac Parade, the War Memorial, Constitution Avenue, Lake Burley Griffin, Glebe Park and close to the buzzing metropolitan precinct of the Nation's Capital.
Currently tenanted month to month with the tenant paying $640 per week, they are happy to stay and consider signing a new 12 month lease at a slightly higher weekly amount. To be discussed with the agent.
