Renovate or re-build a magnificent new home in a prime location.
A rare offering, endless opportunities exist with this superb new listing in the heart of Torrens in a tightly held dress circle position backing the reserve.
Standing resplendent on a 1138sqm block directly at the base of Mt Taylor with bushland tracks over the rear fence, this prized family home stands apart.
Wonderful family memories were made in this charming classic home with northerly orientation which has a family friendly configuration typical of the 1960's, complete with double garage underneath and internal access. The front of the home is flooded with sun from the east and has delightful views out over Woden Valley and sensational vistas at the rear across a glorious bushland setting.
Inside there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms to provide family members their own private space. Two of the bedrooms were amalgamated to cater for the specific needs however these rooms can easily be converted back to two bedrooms as per the original design of the home. There are two beautifully bright, sun filled living areas, including the rumpus and formal lounge/dining areas that also provide delightful outlooks from the front and rear, with dappled shade trees; appreciated especially throughout the summer months.
A modest kitchen is light and airy and has access straight out to the rear grounds and a peaceful oasis of recreational pleasure with a pool and studio that could be used for artwork, yoga or a perfect home office. The established gardens also include a much-loved vegetable plot and mature trees such as an old oak, Norwegian maple and Manchurian pear.
Located in a fabulous community close to numerous southside schools and colleges, and shops including Torrens, Mawson and Woden shopping centre as well as the Canberra Hospital, this sunny home brings the balance families crave.
