Having hosted senior international representatives and diplomatic occupants over many years, this superbly positioned residence at the gateway to Canberra's renowned "Golden Mile" is poised for its next notable chapter.
In its current two-storey configuration (on a massive 1606 m2 block), the home offers exceptional flexibility. The upper level comprises three bedrooms and a study, while the ground floor has been thoughtfully arranged into a self-contained two-bedroom apartment and a separate studio - each with its own metering. This versatile layout lends itself to rental income, multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a home-based business.
The main living level is bright and airy, reflecting its mid-century architectural pedigree with a strong connection to natural elements - trees, sky and sunlight. An elevated terrace wraps around two sides of the home, extending from the formal dining and lounge areas to create inviting spaces for both relaxed living and entertaining.
Updates have introduced a crisp, functional kitchen with a convenient coffee bar, while further improvements to the apartment kitchen and studio kitchenette enhance usability across all living areas.
Positioned in a blue-ribbon setting backing Red Hill reserve, the home offers an exceptional lifestyle with immediate access to walking trails, Canberra Girls Grammar and the vibrant Deakin shops. Key destinations including Canberra Grammar, the Parliamentary Triangle, Deakin Medical Precinct and Manuka Village are all within close reach, ensuring both convenience and connectivity.
Move in and enjoy as is, enhance over time, or reimagine entirely - this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial 1606sqm holding in one of Canberra's most tightly held locations.
