Your imagination will spark when you encounter this extended cottage, set on a corner, and nestled within private gardens with a northerly aspect to the front of the home and impressive views of black mountain tower.
You could capitalise on the 1024m2 parcel of prime land, building up and taking in the stunning views, out to Black Mountain and Lake Burley Griffin, enjoying the coveted position, a stone's throw from the Yarralumla shops, the CBD and highly regarded schools. Or modernise this much-loved family home and add your personal touches, which has had multiple add-ons over the years, including an annexe that has been divided into two one-bedroom self-contained garden units.
Light-filled, laden with old-world charm and warmth, the main home's terracotta roof topping its red-brick façade is all that is visible from the street. A formal, clipped hedge frames the front garden, shielding entry to the two garden units. While the driveway is on Hopetoun Circuit the home also has additional access from Schlich Street which opens to reveal the charm of the home with it's original timber floors, panelling and large windows that usher in sunshine to the lounge and dining rooms. The lounge also boasts striking views to black mountain.
A compact kitchen with a vintage Frigidaire electric range has turned out remarkable family meals over the years while a two-way bathroom features an original scaled-down bathtub and separate shower. An elevated master bedroom has access to a powder room and there is a ground-level rumpus room along with extensive under-house dry storage.
