Last Listing description (August 2018)

Auction to be held on Wednesday 31st May 6pm at LJ Hooker Canberra City office.

It has taken 45 years for this home to come on the market, and it may be another 45 years before an opportunity like this comes along again.

This mostly original, solid, red brick 2 bedroom home is just waiting for someone with a flair to restore it to its formal glory, or perhaps you are more inclined to knock down and rebuild? Either way, you will find plenty to love here! There have been a few upgrades over the years, most recently to the freshly renovated bathroom and there are still plenty of features that are worth retaining.

Large windows and doors at the rear of the property, capture the Northern sun and North East aspect, and large glass doors are just waiting for you to add an entertaining deck. There is side access to the established gardens where privacy has been the main feature of design. There are sheds and gazebos, easy to stay, or easy to go, you decide.

The real stand out feature here though is the location. This is 748sqm flat block is located on a quiet sought after street and faces directly on to open space and parkland. As the leaves begin to turn and drop their vibrant leaves, this is both a picturesque outlook and a functional space. The kids will have plenty of room to run around or utilise the play equipment, while large family BBQ's can be held just meters from your front door.

Despite being tucked away in a quiet alcove, you are so close to your arterial roads and all the convenience that the Inner North offers. You are less than 1.4km to the Dickson shops (and even less if you walk it!), and less than 5km to the City. There is a walking path on one side of the home that gives you access to several great schools in the area and all the up and coming shops and cafes. With the light rail currently under construction with proposed stops nearby, this location will mean you have you all the City conveniences at your finger tips.

This home must be sold on auction day so don't miss this opportunity, inspect today!
