With the owners having already moved out, this blue chip piece of Real Estate is calling out for a new owner! Just round the corner from the Swinger Hill shops, on a quiet street, you will find this charming red brick cottage. The current owners are of a Finnish background, and you can see glimpses of their cultural influence here, with plenty of natural timber and a large separate sauna.

The home itself, whilst fairly basic, is in very good condition and could easily be lived in as-is. However, the real opportunity here is what you will make of this property, and the options are numerous and compelling.

You could simply renovate the existing house, and take advantage of the large amount of private land to the rear. Perfect for veggie gardens or a landscaped private oasis.

You could rebuild on the block and create a home that is completely by your own design, securing your foothold in one of Canberra’s most popular suburbs.

You could add a second dwelling to the rear, and either rent it out or sell it to supplement your own mortgage or living expenses.

You could also redevelop the block completely, and take advantage of the RZ-2 zoning here. This means that you can build a dual occupancy or small townhouse development here, with basement garaging if desired and a 50% plot ratio.

Whatever your plans, Mawson is a great place to live and/or own property. This is just about the geographic centre of Canberra, and has some great choices for shopping, plenty of employment opportunities around, and easy access to the CBD, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek and the Airport.
