Auction Location: On site. Built initially as part of the Narrabundah Station, long before the surrounding streets and suburb were developed, this magnificent property on an enormous 2148 sqm block, represents a Canberra landmark now synonymous with mid-century style and understated elegance. Dating back to 1951, the original structure was gifted a thoughtful renovation and extension in 1999 and while largely in keeping with the heritage of the building, the updates offer a seamless but necessary transition into the conveniences of modern day living. So much so, the property has since been the recipient of several HIA and MBA awards. Offered for only the 2nd time this century, this extraordinary slice of Canberra's history is now on the market for future generations to enjoy. At the heart of the home, both literally and metaphorically, the spacious and well-equipped kitchen is flooded with natural light, and offers ample storage, updated appliances including a Falcon oven, and a highly functional layout that ensures easy access to the adjacent living and outdoor areas. As you would expect in a home of this stature, there are multiple living and dining spaces to relax or entertain in, all of which offer tasteful nods to a bygone era. Beautifully preserved fireplaces, stained glass windows, cornices and architraves blend perfectly with more contemporary fixtures throughout the home, such as plantation shutters, heated towel rails and reverse cycle ducted air conditioning. Outside, the idyllic gardens featuring unique, hard crafted stone walls, white roses, manicured hedges, established natives as well as a stunning Manchurian Pear tree which ensures this property can be appreciated all year round, regardless of the season.
