This beautiful Braddon home is in one of the most desirable streets in the inner city. Within short walking distance to buzzing Lonsdale Street and Civic, Canberra’s best coffee, food and shopping are right on your doorstep. Surrounded by wide, quiet, leafy streets – and Mount Ainslie just up the road – this is prime real estate.
Situated on the front of a large dual occupancy block (910m2), the 1927 building features some of the best examples of Canberra heritage architecture; picture rails, timber sash windows, polished cyprus pine floors, ornate ceilings and a working fireplace, all contributing to a house full of character and warmth.
The double brick construction will keep you cool in the summer months whilst the hydronic heating provides a lovely, non-intrusive heat in winter. And what could be better than a crackling fire and a glass of red on a chilly evening?
A renovated kitchen (2007) is the modern hub of the house, with Caesarstone benchtops, electric cooking, stainless steel rangehood, glass splashback and views to the rear gardens.
The front garden and rear courtyard are private, spacious and secure. They offer wonderful outdoor places for pets, kids and parties. There are mature fruit trees (cherry, apple and quince) and vegetable beds. From the private front porch, enjoy amazing views of the setting sun and even the New Year’s Eve and Australia Day fireworks.
This is a truly beautiful traditional Canberra home. Within easy walking distance to Braddon, Civic, Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve, public transport and 10 minutes’ drive to Majura Park (with Costco, Ikea and Bunnings) it is textbook “Location, Location, Location”.
