Rare find! 3br + Attic (possible study or 4th br) house/townhouse, Cycle to Canberra City Center/CBD - Walk to Dickson Shopping Center. Students/groups welcome.

"Surround yourself with timber, trees & birds."

Special features: One of the house's special features is the attic on the mezzanine level, termed by past tenants as "haven." It can be used as a 4th bedroom, or study, or for guest sleeps, or simply as a store. Another special feature is the front gate which turns the house & garden into "fort knox," assuring total privacy from the outside world.

House: It is a "character-filled" house with exposed ceilings and feature brick walls. It's designed with lots of timber on full display in the lounge & kitchen ceilings, to let you feel & live amongst nature - a rare feature. You will be surrounded by timber, trees and time - time that slows. It is painted with colours that meld with wood to spice up your living. Bamboo flooring with eye-pleasing grains in display - no dusty carpets. Bedrooms, with BIRs in each, are designed so they are independent, connected to each other & also have a direct access to the small, easily manageable garden. The master bedroom is massive. There are two kitchen areas, a full kitchen plus a kitchenette. Bathroom has combined shower, toilet and two washbasins, small and large. Within the garden, there is a long bench and a cosy fire pit to keep you warm during the winter. In addition, there are two store-rooms, BBQ facility, an outside laundry with space for washing machine/sink and clothesline. Truely a rustic and "rural" atmosphere in the midst of a bustling city area!

Heating: A powerful 5KW split-level air-conditioner in the lounge heats up both the kitchen, bathroom and the attic. In addition, the lounge has a large panel heater. There are also panel heaters, one in each bedroom. With R5 insulation in the bedroom ceilings, thermally-backed window curtains, you will never feel cold in this house.

Location: A mere walk to the buzzing Dickson shopping centre, or cycling distance to Canberra city centre - yet, a quiet and serene place. Located in one of the spectacular streets in Canberra with lush greenery, a thick canopy of trees housing many birds, and leaves changing colours, you will love this location. Wake up in the morning carolled by bird songs, and walk to the Dickson shopping centre for your morning breakfast, or to Gang Gang cafe in local Downer shops. Or, simply walk to the tranquil Edkins Park next door, just to relax. The light rail stop, swinden st station to the City and Gunghalin is close. Cycle to major icons, such as, Australian National University and ADFA. Walk to Dickson swimming pool or the Canberra Tradies Club.
