Situated amidst leafy surrounds in a peaceful cul-de-sac, close to Canberra’s central business district and lake, this impressive family home is offered to the market for the first time. Shaded gardens shelter the home from the street, opening onto a large expanse of manicured lawn with a circular flower bed, perfectly complementing the classic elegance of this mid-century home.
With an ideal north aspect to the front, the house is well sited on a generous block of approximately 975 m2.
The broad front terrace offers an amazingly large area of sheltered outdoor entertaining, the perfect place to relax with family and friends, while enjoying the outlook to lush gardens. The wide entry opens to the impressively proportioned L-shaped formal living area, highlighting the vast expanse of stunning red box hardwood flooring. Modern, innovative, double glazed windows on two sides can be adjusted at an angle, while the large panes frame garden views, inviting in abundant natural light and winter sunshine. Two large capacity gas heaters provide ample heating for the entire house, while ducted evaporative cooling maintains summer comfort. An array of twenty solar panels, as well as solar hot water minimizes costs.
Overlooking a courtyard planted with pink camellias, the functional kitchen offers ample bench and cupboard space.
The striking hardwood flooring extends from the entry through living areas, hallways and bedrooms.
The generous master bedroom features a wall of built-in robes and a roomy, updated ensuite. Other bedrooms are similarly large and equipped with built-in robes. Presented in excellent condition, the spacious main bathroom features a bath, shower and a separate w/c.
An expansive pergola covers the drive in front of the extra wide double garage, which is fitted with an automatic, panel lift door, a handy sink and a number of cupboards. Courtyard gardens around the home are linked to the side and front gardens by wide flagstone pathways, creating an attractive but easy-care environment, assisted by automated in-ground watering systems. A large rainwater tank is located under the house. Two thriving kiwi fruit vines are supported by a new pergola in an east facing courtyard garden.
The location offers a delightful neighbourhood and beautiful streetscapes. It’s just a short walk to Campbell Primary School, local shops, the Lanterne Rooms restaurant and the Pedlar pub. The City, lake, Russell offices, ASIO headquarters, Duntroon and Barton are all close by, as well as Campbell High School and the Grammar Northside Early Childhood Centre.
This well designed home with impressive living areas, in one of the finest locations close to the City, awaits the next chapter and its new family!
