This timeless weatherboard residence was built back in 1927 and due to its heritage status is still true to the many original design features that dominated Canberra's earliest suburbs. Originally a two bedroom home with sleep out, porch and veranda, this home was extended in 2009 to include a parents' wing with large main bedroom, en suite and walk in robe. The enormous kitchen is in as new condition and has solid timber bench tops. For the chefs there is a large omega gas oven with 5 hotplates and bosch dishwasher and the 2 way slow combustion Eureka fireplace located in between the dining and lounge room provides a warm glow during those long winter months and is also a great place to perch with a glass of red in hand.
The original living room has also been updated and with its large proportions could easily be used for a home office or consulting room as there is an entire wall of storage and a large whiteboard already in place.
Including modern upgrades such as down lights, reverse cycle unit to main bedroom, ceiling fans, ducted heating, modern blinds throughout, brushed silver handles, stainless steel appliances and glass panelled doors to the north inviting the sunlight in along with the period features such as the bakelite switches, sash windows, classic white walls and timber detailing make for a very desirable home.
The matching weatherboard single garage could also be adapted into a studio, playroom or teenage retreat. There is a ramp leading from the garage to the landing at the rear of the house which is accessed via doors leading from both the family and lounge rooms and provides a protected area to sit and read awhile. Located on beautiful Campbell Street surrounded by so many timeless homes and with no neighbours to one side this residence would make a wonderful family home (great for the kids), would also appeal to mature aged couples or the young at heart who would love a home with character ....but also with some of life's modern luxuries.
On a well established 758m2 block, close to local shops and schools and a short drive, bike or bus ride from the city centre this wonderful single level brick and weatherboard home with strong bones and warm soul is sure to capture your heart....
