A journey up the property ladder begins with a single step, and what better place to start than the thriving suburb of Cook. Playfully referred to as Canberra’s “Inner West”, Cook enjoys unparalleled convenience and amenity. A cursory glance at the Cook market’s history will enthuse even the most conservative of consumers, as the steady trajectory of capital growth continues.

With no slash in the postal address and sharing just one wall with its neighbour, 69 Dugdale Street offers cottage living at a townhouse price. Unlike many of the surrounding homes, substantial work has been done at this property to bring it into the present. A fully remodelled bathroom, updated kitchen and some alterations to the floor plan make for a light, bright and exciting home.

What was once an external utility room has been opened up, extending the kitchen and gaining internal access to the garage. The master bedroom is surprisingly spacious, and both bedrooms offer built-in robes. All of these spaces are connected by rich Tasmanian Oak flooring which spreads throughout the home, and a generous rear courtyard offers room for kids and pets to run amok, without the cumbersome maintenance.
