Last Listing description (April 2017)
Close to Belconnen town centre, this charming, updated three bedroom home is situated in an attractive street. Eucalypts and a Manchurian Pear frame the garden and enhance the excellent street appeal. Neat paving leads up to the welcoming front terrace, sheltered by wisteria on one side.
Stepping inside, you will be captivated by the light and airy feel. Fresh white decor and glossy, newly polished pine flooring in a walnut tone feature throughout the home, creating a striking first impression in the L-shaped open plan living area. Large windows let in plenty of light. A unique slow combustion wood stove, originally from France, adds character and promises a cosy ambience over the coming winter. A modern gas wall heater provides convenience, while the ducted evaporative cooling provides fresh, cool air in Canberra's hot summers.
The bright kitchen and dining area face due north. The neat, functional kitchen is equipped with a four burner gas cooktop. Over the cooler months, sunlight will pour into the dining area through corner windows and the sliding glass door, which leads onto the fantastic, elevated rear deck. You'll enjoy the serene feel as you step onto the timber deck and take in the tranquil, leafy outlook over the rear garden, with all sides entirely private. This fantastic outdoor living area is the perfect place in which to relax, while appreciating the peace and privacy of the location and a superbly inviting space for entertaining. The north aspect will guarantee enjoyment year round. The pergola and eaves have been recently painted.
A surprisingly wide hall way leads to bedrooms, also spacious and full of charm. The large windows are furnished with new, white slimline venetians. You'll be delighted by the size of the master bedroom, and two of the three bedrooms are equipped with generous built-in robes. The bathroom has been updated with a new vanity and shower screen and has a separate, renovated w/c.
The established rear garden is completely enclosed by greenery. A beautiful Sugar Maple is a centrepiece, shading much of the garden. A garden shed is tucked away in one corner. The driveway provides off street parking for a number of vehicles.
From this highly sought after location, it is just a short drive to all the facilities of Belconnen Mall and all other businesses. Government offices are within walking distance. Recreation can be enjoyed around the nearby lake, at indoor swimming centre and ovals. The local Hawker shops, which include a medical centre, Woolworths and restaurants, are just a short walk away. St. Matthews Primary School is also nearby.
This fresh, sparkling home, with the warmth of timber flooring, provides a stylish and comfortable environment. It offers two exceptional outdoor entertaining areas, overlooking either the front or rear gardens. Inviting and ready to live in, with much of the work already completed, it presents an outstanding opportunity for many buyers, including the young family, first home buyer or investor, in a great central location.
