68 Captain Cook Cres, Griffith is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1940. The property has a land size of 829m2 and floor size of 150m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in March 2022.
There's a reason that the beautiful, leafy streetscape along this stretch of Griffith was the top value rated by local residents in a recent survey. Initially earmarked for upper-class public servants and established as one of Canberra's first suburbs to use garden city planning principles, the wide verges and parkland trees here aimed to provide a pleasant greening of the urban environment.
The home behind the mature hedge at number 68 epitomises the early era of the garden city idea, with a single-storey red-brick home set in attractive gardens.
The master bedroom, with its bay window, looks out into the lovely front garden setting, as does the welcoming terrace entry.
A large north-facing rear deck off the kitchen overlooking a flat yard continues the garden immersion theme.
With a bright and airy open-plan dining and living space and neat kitchen, there's plenty to enjoy here now, but infinite options abound for future rewards through renovation, extension or redevelopment to realise a luxe dream home.
In a premium location near elite schools, Manuka and Griffith's distinctive retail and restaurant strips and a short distance from the Parliamentary Triangle, this home represents an exciting opportunity to secure a coveted lifestyle in this sought-after inner-south suburb.
