Last Listing description (April 2022)

Charming early Canberra cottage set amongst established landscaped gardens in a sublime location. A rare find in the heart of the Inner South, this original 1927 home, lovingly maintained, captivates at every turn.

Bathed in light, and with pristine timberwork, high ceilings, ornate open fireplace, original fluted glass doors and battened ceilings, No. 26 presents a wealth of heritage perfectly balanced with the freshness essential for modern living. An appealing layout affords garden views from every room.

A garden takes time to develop - time that has been invested here. Sweeping hedges create private garden rooms, with flowering shrubs and specimen trees specifically selected for Canberra colour: flowering plums for springtime glory, ornamental pears, camelias underplanted with bush roses and thriving level lawns.

Your home in tightly-held Barton is just moments from Telopea Park School and on the doorstep of the Parliamentary Triangle, the employment hubs of Barton, DFAT and other Government Departments, Minter Ellison, Barton Private Hospital. And the lifestyle benefits! Lake-side walking and cycling paths and just a short stroll to the best dining the Inner South has to offer.
