To keep you warm in Canberra's long winter, there is ducted gas heating throughout & the cosy lounge room has a restored fireplace, still enclosed by the stonework done by the original owner (who was a stonemason), & beautiful timber-look vinyl plank flooring. The bedrooms are segregated for privacy, with the main bedroom, ensuite & walk-through robe located at one end of the house & the remaining 3 bedrooms at the other end.
The home is surrounded by mature gardens, there is a paved entertaining area, cleverly designed to capture the northern sun, a flat grassed area for the kids, thriving fruit trees & veggie gardens plus a convenient storage shed for all those garden tools.
