Savvy buyers will relish the opportunity to gain two homes from a single purchase of this block in Higgins.
The three-bedroom home at the front of the property was among the first built in Higgins. Its 1968 architectural pedigree can be seen in pitched gable roof that extends over the carport, yet the interiors have been updated to cater for the needs of today's lifestyle.
There's a renovated master ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles while the master bedroom has two separate built-in wardrobes.
The home flows with open-plan spaces in the living and dining room and in the kitchen and family room where you'll have easy access to the fully enclosed and private rear yard.
There's also an added bonus here, with a fully insulated and powered 3 x 4m studio that would be perfect for art, hobbies or yoga.
Positioned at the rear of the block is a single-level, two bedroom home that was built in 1993. It has oodles of space with a north facing room plus a designated dining area. For convenience there is a separate shower, toilet and laundry.
This home also has a fully enclosed and private rear yard with gate access to the public transport on Drake Brockman Drive that takes you to Westfield Belconnen and city centre in minutes.
As a package, these two homes provide endless flexibility. Live in one and rent out the other to help pay off the mortgage sooner. Two family groups or a multi-generational family could also live here, but enjoy the benefits of having their own distinct spaces.
Higgins provides fantastic access for Belconnen, the city and Woden and these properties in Ashburner Street are also just steps away from the Bicentennial National Trail. Growing families with children will appreciate the close proximity to the Kingsford Smith School and Little Penguins Early Learning Centre.
