There’s something about living in an elevated home that lifts your mood. The top end of town has long considered it a mark of status, but anyone who has lived in such a home understands that it is so much more than that.

An elevated home offers an antidote to urban squeeze. It gives you room to breathe, to watch the wind in the tree canopy and admire the changing sky. This home in leafy Mayo Street gives you the added benefit of views of the sun or moon rise from the east-facing balcony that overlooks one of the largest, unobstructed and flat back yards in the street.

Inside you’ll feel immediately at home thanks to the classic appeal of timber trims and solid timber cupboards in the kitchen bringing warmth and a feeling that this home was meant to last. There are three large bedrooms and room to store all you need either upstairs or in the massive double garage and workshop downstairs. With evaporative cooling, ducted gas heating and an updated bathroom there’s everything you may need now, but there’s also potential for a spectacular future.

Living here, you’ll be super close to Jamison shopping plaza, the Southern Cross Club or the Belconnen markets. By bike you’ll be minutes from primary and secondary schools, the Canberra University or ANU. An easy drive will take you to the city.
