Dream street with everything at your fingertips!
There is so much potential here – classic ex-govie, level block, beautiful leafy street that culminates in peaceful park land. The home is handy to Rosary and Majura Primary Schools, The Catholic University and the fabulous Watson shops. A gentle re-jigging has subtly introduced the new, while still honouring the classic stylings of the elegant modernist form. Move straight in and enjoy the simple pleasure of owning a little piece of Canberra history, moments from the Dickson precinct, not far from the boutique eating and shopping experiences of both Braddon and the CBD.
This lovely three-bedder is fronted by a new timber deck with timber balustrade in simple white. Magnificent trees shelter and shade and there is a lovely leafy privacy, despite the openness of the front garden.
We love the simplicity of the seamless white kitchen, with its speckled worktops and marble patterned splash back introducing soft texture. There is an electric wall oven, gas hob and plenty of storage. The open spatial arrangement, combines cooking, eating and living in one big, airy room. Imagine relaxed family togetherness, easy entertaining, timber sliders flung open, welcoming breezes through the magnificent age-old trees that line the nature strip.
A slender hall ushers past a large laundry with direct access to the generous rear garden. There are three good sized bedrooms, all with built-in-robes and leafy aspects. The family bathroom has been upgraded in the same light scheme as the kitchen, creating a continuous design thread. There is a step-in-shower, good vanity storage and a separate toilet. While outside a blank canvas awaits…minimal trees, generous flat, grassed area and to one side, a single metal garage.
Underpinning it all is the leafy inner north lifestyle…stroll to the local Watson shops, ride bikes to a myriad of playgrounds and parks or traverse the trails of Mt Majura Reserve. Enjoy great coffee, fabulous pizza at The Knox, or dine out at the Filipino eatery, Lola and Lola. You are not far to Dickson shops, host to an array of international cuisines and excellent grocery shopping. A short drive will take you to the Braddon precinct, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD. The home is also convenient to a mix of private and public schools, close to transport, including the light rail, linking you to the metro city station and the whole of Canberra.
