Remarkable northerly and easterly views and a prime high location near the top of a secluded cul-de-sac will set hearts racing on visiting this Aranda knockout, but it's the fashionably retro characteristics that give it enviable panache.
A large, crazy-paved front terrace is the ideal elevated spot enjoy a Vodka Gimlet or a Manhattan and give a quiet nod to the home's era as the sun goes down.
In the cooler months, curl up in front of the living room's vintage stacked stone chimney - now with an electric insert - and enjoy the view out of the huge picture windows.
A panelled feature wall in this room, the original matching sconces and lights, along with the battened walls at the entry are captivating odes to the beauty and artistry of geometry.
Sublime Tasmanian Oak floors also run throughout, lending an enveloping warmth to the interiors flooded with sun and natural light in winter, and shaded during summer. A lovely ambient quality of light throughout the house as the sun moves throughout the Day.
An eat-in kitchen maintains the simplicity of forms through use of linear materials including timber benchtops and white subway tile splashback.
Four bedrooms on this level include the ensuite main. A rumpus on the ground level beind the garage could double as a home office with its own entry.
This lovely home is positioned just a few steps away from the reserve that leads to the Aranda Summit Track, providing exceptional access to some of north Canberra's most desirable walks including those on Black Mountain and Mount Painter. Stroll or bike to coffee shops, Aranda Primary and St Vincent's primary schools.
