18 Gidabal St, Aranda is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1968. The property has a land size of 826m2 and floor size of 180m2.
Distinct in style, this timeless residence is a rare Aranda find - constructed from iconic red clinker bricks, its rich hue a hallmark of Canberra's past. Offering two street frontages, this property has increased opportunities for natural light, privacy, and design flexibility compared to a typical block, while its elevated aspect captures serene treetop views.
Light-filled interiors greet you - full of character - where divided-light windows draw sunlight into the home and cypress pine floors add natural warmth. At the heart of the expansive open-plan space, a Godin cast iron wood stove offers enduring charm, while a sunny bay window with a leafy outlook creates a cosy nook for quiet moments of relaxation.
French doors open to the elevated deck for effortless entertaining and the kitchen balances practicality with style, featuring shaker-style cabinetry, stone benches, and a central island where friends and family can gather.
The three upstairs bedrooms are equally elegant, sharing an indulgent bathroom with a striking mosaic feature wall, walk-in shower, and deep freestanding soaking tub. The master suite is enhanced by its own private ensuite.
The lower level adds versatility with an expansive rumpus room featuring gorgeous parquetry flooring, a large bedroom, and its own ensuite. Imbued with artistic flair, it is equally suited to creative pursuits, a teenager's retreat, or a generous second living zone. Practical inclusions such as a solar system, ducted heating, split-system air conditioning, and ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
The gardens are a leafy Eden, with fruiting trees and hedges framing the lawn where children and pets can play. Stone-edged garden beds add structure and colour, while a pebbled seating area offers a serene spot to savour it all to the sound of birdsong. Practicality is also well considered, with two driveways and two carports providing flexible parking for a growing family.
Set in a tree-lined street, this home is only a short stroll to the popular Aranda Primary by taking a laneway route direct to the school and with no main roads to cross. Close by are a choice of public and private schools including St Vincent's Primary, Canberra High School and Radford College. The Aranda playing fields, and new playground are close by with the Aranda shops, and the much-loved Two Before Ten caf, with Jamison Plaza just minutes away. Easy access to arterial roads connects you to Belconnen, the city, universities and more.
For the nature enthusiasts you are surrounded by Aranda's walking tracks and Black Mtn Reserve where you can take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the bird life in song.
