Griffith ACT 2603

Anyone who appreciates fine craftsmanship will immediately be drawn to this extended original Canberra red-brick cottage. Timber doors, window frames, picture rails and a fireplace surround bring a nostalgic charm that conjures images of cosy family gatherings around crackling flames and raucous card games that continued late into the night.

French doors, cornice work and battened high ceilings add to the period character. Extensions over the years have seen a dining room, family and master suite added, but there is still plenty of for the home to undergo even more of a metamorphosis with an eye to contemporary and functional family living.

The deep, sunny block provides options for a larger footprint and the property benefits from a dual-entrance horse shoe driveway which is becoming an increasing rarity in Canberra due to planning restrictions. There are pockets of parklands in every direction. A gentle stroll of the neighbourhood will lead you to the Griffith shops or Manuka village and a few minutes in the car will get you to leading schools, Kingston foreshore and the Parliamentary Triangle.
