This is a home with a lifetime of stories…. Do not miss this opportunity to create lasting memories for years to come.
Located in Canberra's first garden precinct, giving life to Walter Burley Griffin's garden city vision, this is a piece of Canberra's history that offers a convenient lifestyle in a street that has maintained its significance over the past century.
Circa 1924, this home exudes character and charm consistent from its early beginnings. Terracotta roof tiles, open fire places, timber flooring, 10ft ceilings and timber sash windows are all period features that evoke a bygone era and add enormous charm.
Highlighted by the clever extension, the elegant lounge and sitting areas have the perfect ambience for any occasion. There is good separation of both bedrooms, each with ample storage. The thoughtfully designed floorplan takes full advantage of tranquil garden views designed to create privacy from the street and a sanctuary of space, comfort and flexibility from within.
Combining heritage with a new wave of cosmopolitan living, 56 Currong Street invites tranquillity & serenity within the hustle and bustle of Inner North. The vibrant precincts of Braddon, Ainslie, City Central, Canberra City Shopping Precinct offer a wide range of leading restaurants, bars & boutiques, this is all a stone’s throw from the home, this is a lifestyle like no other.
Whilst this home is perfect liveable as is, there is a unique opportunity to make this home your own, subject to plans consistent with Heritage Council standards. See below link:
