Much of the original heritage design and garden layout has been respected by the current owner in this sensitive, contemporary extension. The rear extension was designed by award winning architect, Nino Bellantonio, and built by award winning Canberra builders.

The home comprises of two generous bedrooms, the master with an ensuite and walk in robe. The lounge room with fireplace and high ceilings opens out to a private north facing covered porch and living area.

Convenient, prestigious location, a leisurely walk to the Kingston foreshore, highly regarded public and private schools and just moments to Kingston and Manuka.
Homes like this do not become available very often! Most loved and tightly held, this property has been home to only three families in 93 years. Generously proportioned throughout, with an abundance of natural light this home is a must see.
