38 Tallara Parkway

Narrabundah ACT 2604

High ceilings, ornate cornices, wooden panelling and sectioned timber windows create a wonderful sense of romance and charisma. Light timber floors flow underfoot, art sings on the white walls and select modern and vintage pieces, combine with ease.

The north facing living area enjoys sumptuous garden views, via banks of timber windows and flows to an intimate dining nook. The kitchen is accented with vintage linoleum flooring and cabinetry in a shade of soft blush.

All three bedrooms frame leafy views and centre around the original bathroom and separate toilet. The large master bedroom has ample built-in storage and vista to a towering gum.

To the rear of the home a sunroom provides a sequestered second living space - the perfect nook for afternoon tea or a glass as the sun sets. Deep within the rear garden, there is a secret room that could easily be utilised as an artist studio, writing niche or guest room.

Retro-fitted double glazing and added insulation enhances this warm and likeable home. Also of note is the large laundry with second shower and the double garage.

Camelias, olive trees, border hedging and generous lawns imbue the garden with a sense of nostalgia. An Italian legacy has been left by the home's former residents. Vegetable gardens, scaffolding for grapevines, under house cellar, and a plethora of tomatoes is easy to imagine on this sunny, fertile plot.
