Aranda is undeniably one of Canberra's finest suburbs, renowned for its prime location, lush greenery, and architecturally significant homes. Its unique charm and desirability stem from the suburb's seamless blend of natural beauty and mid-century design.
Nestled between two nature reserves, Aranda is characterised by its towering gum trees, rolling hills, and harmonious connection with the surrounding environment. The strong sense of community here is palpable, making it easy to understand why locals take such pride in their neighbourhood.
7/8 Jalanga embodies everything that makes Aranda so special, offering a compact yet sophisticated slice of Canberra's rich architectural heritage.
Originally designed in 1966 by renowned architect Dirk Bolt, these townhouses were conceived alongside the local shopping centre, in line with the urban planning trends of the time. As the project progressed, Rudi Krastins took over to complete the development, maintaining Bolt's modernist vision and creating a striking example of timeless design.
Recently updated, 7/8 Jalanga maximises its efficient layout. The former laundry has been transformed into a dedicated study, while the newly renovated kitchen and refreshed bathroom blend modern amenities with the home's original charm. The generous enclosed courtyard adds a sense of space, offering a private outdoor haven to relax or entertain.
Comfort is ensured year-round with in-floor heating and reverse cycle air conditioning. The home features new carpeting, window treatments, and a soft neutral colour scheme throughout, allowing you to move in with nothing left to do.
Just a short walk from the Aranda shops, you'll enjoy easy access to the popular 'Two Before Ten' café, Meet Gather Collect for homewares, and the area's sought-after schools. Both Canberra City and Belconnen Town Centre are only a 10-minute drive away.
Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to secure a distinctive Canberra property in a highly sought-after suburb, 7/8 Jalanga is not to be missed.
