Property Summary

Category: House

Bedrooms: 5

Bathrooms: 2

Energy Efficiency Rating: 2.5

Garage: Double

Land: 981.00sqm (approx)

Features: Ensuite, Close to Transport, Dishwasher, Family Room, Storage, Study, Verandah

This home is not a multi million dollar home, like most on my blog are... but instead, it's a classic carefully decorated (or dare I say it, "staged"!)

A very appealing exterior, nice colours, lotsa cream and white... nice

And this room below really caught my eye, as I'm sure it will yours, the old "pop" from bold colour contrast - works every time!

These rooms below, not so great, but still well presented...

hmmm, double large cooker, but no microwave, I'm thinking this home is no longer lived in...

Apparently the home just sold for a little over $1 million big ones!

I had to laugh at the bathroom below, I was admiring the basin when my eye was dragged over to the shower screen, and all I could think to myself was "DIY's reno's" because no architect would allow a shower screen like that in a bathroom - goodness me, not even I would!

It's not a FLASHY home, it is what the agent called it, "classic", and with that comes some compromise on the dated architecture.

And the Master Plan

AND what did the Agent say!

Classic Inner South with Modern appointments

Features: Ensuite, Close to Transport, Dishwasher, Family Room, Storage, Study, Verandah

Large, covered alfresco terraces, lush landscaped gardens, gourmet kitchen and endless living space come together with the result being a desirable family home in a much sought after Inner South location. Fully renovated and tastefully finished, quality surrounds you with state-of-the-art luxury appointments

Family friendly and with a flexible floor plan there is a wealth of living and dining options. The formal lounge room & the formal dining room have expansive windows & doors opening to a magnificent sandstone paved front verandah creating a relaxing entertaining area. Great natural light, gas fired feature fireplace & lovely garden views.

There is also plenty of room for the family to relax in the family/meals room that flows effortlessly from the kitchen. The children or teenagers are also well catered for with their own rumpus/games room. The house is designed to allow for indoor/outdoor living space with 2 rear terraces opening through French doors from the casual living area.

The bedroom wing is segregated from the living areas with 5 bedrooms. 4 of these bedrooms are double sized rooms, the fifth bedroom could easily be utilized as a home office/study. Featuring an ensuite finished to the highest standard and a 3-way bathroom to cater for all the family and your guests.

To compliment this there are many features that should be considered. Such as fully ducted heating and cooling, security system, fully irrigated gardens and an underground rain water tank.

Located in a prime Red Hill street close to Canberra Boys Grammar school and an easy walk to Manuka.
Currently tenanted till early 2010. Viewings strictly by appointment and at the discretion of the agent, taking into consideration tenants availability.


That's a Wow from me!
