Last Listing description (February 2017)
Full of potential and engagingly different, this spacious, four bedroom, light-filled home has been rented to the current tenants for 6 years, and is now ready for a new lease of life. The property offers a fabulous chance for renovators to personalise their new home, or for investors to increase their portfolios with tenants in situ, who would like to stay.
An ideal home for children, some tender loving care is needed, but when the location and layout are as good as this, it's a fabulous opportunity to create a masterpiece.
A semi-circular driveway sweeps the front of the house making parking and unloading groceries easy. Stepping inside, the home's wow factor hits you between the eyes. A corridor of light streams into the home through a glass-walled hallway to showcase and highlight a delightful large atrium that centres the home, give cost-saving insulation benefits and create an oasis. You can build whatever entertainment/reading/garden or play space you want here - it's a space to build your dreams in.
With a slow combustion fireplace in the hallway, solar hot water and electricity feeding back into the grid, the insulating properties of the atrium, brick construction and a rain water tank, it's easy to see why this home will more than repay the owners for any renovations they choose to make.
The formal lounge and dining room feature timber floors, raked ceilings with plenty of ceiling fans to keep things cool in summer and to circulate the warm air from the fireplace in winter. Full-length windows and French doors bring the light and garden scenery inside and open to a garden courtyard at the side of the home. Family and meals areas are adjacent to the formal living and merge into a functional kitchen with an electric oven and back garden views. The family room opens to the atrium, as does the large main bedroom and bathroom. All the bedrooms are well-sized; the main bathroom has a bath, shower and 2-way access. A separate shower room and powder room are located close to the bedrooms.
Outside, the back garden is secure and very private and a garden shed sits at the back of the garage. The double garage and carport offer plenty of parking and storage options.
Scullin Early Childhood School, local shops, a playground and park are a stroll away. Belconnen town centre and the recreational delights of Lake Ginninderra are close by. Value-adding to this home could add value to your life, honing your renovation and creative skills and increasing the capital value or rental return of the property. This house could be your garden for living.
