This home is a rare find and provides a stunning, secluded private sanctuary on 1600 square metres of prime real estate in Old Deakin. It offers a variety of exciting opportunities to either move in and enjoy, extend and renovate, or simply to build a dream home in one of the inner south's most desirable locations.
Nestled in behind the privacy of towering hedges, mature trees and lush greenery, one of Canberra's beautiful original character homes is revealed - Number 5 Hotham Crescent.
Right from the entry, a path leads to the front door and old-world charm is evident throughout, with an original open fireplace, polished timber floorboards and sash windows - all desirable classic features that people search for in a period home.
The home offers a generous master bedroom with ensuite and two further bedrooms, all with built-ins and one with the romantic touch of that original open fireplace.
Benefiting from its northerly orientation, this residence exudes sun and warmth from the rear, with comfortable nooks to sit but also offering substantial family living spaces, a centrally located dining area and kitchen, with a convenient adjacent study.
Outside living is given a delightful twist, under a very pretty wisteria-covered rear veranda overlooking an expanse of emerald green lawn and formal, Paul Bangay-inspired gardens. A perfect backdrop for entertaining or to just relish in a tastefully designed rear garden.
Garaging and carport accommodation is extremely generous and can service up to four vehicles.
This is a home that will appeal to a wide range of homebuyers who appreciate the benefits of living in the inner-south, including proximity to schools, the parliamentary triangle and the Deakin and Manuka shopping precincts.
