Situated on a wide, tree lined avenue, close to bushland reserve, this charming, mid-century, weatherboard home with original timber-framed sash windows will appeal from first sight.
It is well sited towards the front of a large, level block of approximately 825 m2, with an ideal north aspect to the inviting rear garden.
The covered porch opens to the wide, welcoming entry, which features double glazing to the door and panels on either side.
The home is well presented and decorated in a neutral tone, while polished timber flooring extends from the entry through the living room and hallway.
The historic ambience is perfectly preserved in the spacious lounge/dining room, which has a gas heater installed in the original fireplace, with mantlepiece. Five, stained timber, sash windows frame a private outlook to the nature strip on the avenue.
The use of timber in frames and doors throughout adds to the warmth of the home.
The light filled galley style kitchen maximises the north aspect through large windows which overlook the private rear garden and treetops.
A stainless steel Smeg stove with gas cooktop has replaced the original wood fuel stove in the solid brick recess, while the kitchen also features a dishwasher and a generous pantry.
The original laundry has been converted to a European style.
Two nooks provide a versatile space for a computer, storage, or some light-filled lounging space adjacent to the glass door which opens onto the garden.
Three generous bedrooms all feature timber windows and attractive neutral carpet, while one offers a built-in robe.
Presented in excellent condition, the bathroom includes a bath, heated towel rail, separate w/c and overlooks the leafy garden.
Shrubs border the expansive rear garden, featuring a fruitful lemon tree, raised veggie beds, a shed and a cubby. There is a double carport behind gates, safely enclosing the garden. Birdlife in the area is plentiful, including cockatoos and parrots.
The prime location is brilliant, only a short walk to walking trails on O’Connor Ridge, an equally short stroll to the buzz of O’Connor or Lyneham shops and easy access to primary and high schools, and to a light rail stop for a short trip to Dickson or the City.
The Australian National University and University of Canberra, Calvary Hospital, Farmers’ Markets and sporting facilities are all within easy reach.
Whatever your inspiration, this character filled home and garden is lovely as it is, and offers great potential!
