In a blue ribbon location on a large corner block (1277m2) and surrounded by mature hedges, oak trees and established gardens, is this generous and very private red double brick family home, reminiscent of an English country manor. Originally a workers cottage built in the 1940s, the home has been extensively extended and now offers an enviable inner south family lifestyle, combined with an incredible character and charm not often found in Canberra.

Spacious light-filled formal and informal living areas flow out through full height French doors to the park-like gardens. There are several entertaining options inside and out and this home will appeal to a large family and those who delight in hosting a good party!

A large entrance foyer leads you to the generous formal lounge and dining areas boasting high ceilings, a European style double-sided glass fireplace, polished hardwood floors and French doors leading to the gardens.

From here the home flows to the casual living area and the hub of the home features a beautiful timber and granite kitchen with gas cooktop, 900mm Ilve oven and integrated dishwasher. This area embraces the rear garden with large French windows and doors leading to the outside.

Accommodation is provided by 5 large bedrooms plus study. Downstairs is the oversize master retreat featuring working fireplace, generous spa ensuite bathroom, Walk in robe as well as private porch and hedged courtyard.

Also downstairs is another two bedrooms plus study (or sixth bedroom), a family bathroom, powder room, laundry as well as loads of storage provided by two linen presses, under-stair storage and coat cupboards.

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, a study or sitting area and a family bathroom.
Additional features include garage with automated entry and internal access, adjoining workshop, underfloor ducted gas heating and the character of polished brass fittings throughout.
