7 Getting Crescent

Campbell ACT 2612

#SoldbyHolly $1,355,000This airy four-bedder wears its impeccable vintage with grace - 60s double brick build, high ceilings, decorative cornices, parquetry floors - delivering a special lived experience. The block is expansive and home to mature camellias, a magnolia, and an abundant lemon tree. Mint crowds the back steps, and flat lawns unfold in the sunlight. Feeling nostalgic? The home is a song of suburban bliss and slow living, while taking full advantage of its central location, right in the heart of the bustling metropolis. The home occupies a regal position just moments from Hassett Park and the creative hub of Campbell 5. Getting Crescent has emerged as an exciting junction between old and new, as classic Canberra homes nudge elegant new builds and architecturally designed boutique apartment blocks dot the horizon. The coffee bars are humming, people are coming and going from bespoke gyms, and the evenings are given over to any number of dynamic eateries. Yet there is an old-world hush, No.7 sitting quietly behind deep gardens with a long front veranda romantically draped in purple wisteria.The proportions are as grand as the pedigree - large foyer, generous front living area flowing into a sunny dining room, spacious original kitchen, and four lovely bedrooms that overlook the gardens. Big casement windows welcome lots of sunshine and joyful details abound - timber robes within the master bedroom with rounded handles to match the kitchen, Bakelite light above the shaving cabinet in the bathroom, and Jet Age sconces that softly illuminate the living area. The bathroom is a dreamy mix of soft green, pink, and butter yellow as original tiling harmonises with pedestal basin, bathtub, and step-in shower room. If you are drawn to the stories behind things, it is worth mentioning that No.7 was originally home to the trailblazing Ainsley Gotto, who made history by being appointed as the Principal Private Secretary to Prime Minister John Gorton at just 22 years of age. We love the fabulous history that creates a special resonance and the impeccable 60s style that also manages to feel spacious and modern. One imagines a light touch - a sympathetic reno that nudges the house into the sunny garden, creating a robust and treasured family home that champions its enigmatic past.This soulful home sits a few steps from Hassett Park and the shared biking and walking trails that hug Lake Burley Griffin. The Campbell 5 Precinct within arms reach - enticing with its vibrant mix of independent bars, cafs and eateries to tempt the soul and the palette. There is the new and dynamic East Traders Hall alongside old favourites - Paranormal, Asian Noodle House, The Pedlar, Lanterne Rooms. There are plenty of great cafs nearby for morning coffee, The Athletic Club is at your doorstep and the home is moments from Anzac Parade, the War Memorial, Russell Offices and the CBD. features..beautiful four bedroom home in coveted Campbell.wonderful history and beautifully preserved.fabulous locale informed by the eateries of Campbell 5 and on the edge of the CBD.60s double brick build.high ceilings, decorative cornices, original light fittings, parquetry floors.timber pelmets and curtains.deep front garden, parking bay, private driveway and gated carport.shady and private front veranda .generous foyer with large coat cupboard.sunny front living area with RC split system.open flow to a bright north-west facing dining space.timber framed glass pocket sliders.shuttered servery window onto the kitchen.original kitchen combined meals with cabinetry featuring curved timber handles, updated freestanding electric oven.adjacent laundry with direct access to the back porch and garden.slender hallway with double linen and additional storage closet.master bedroom with RC split system and wall of timber robes, including a dresser.bedroom two with a big window framing a flowering camellia .bedroom three with built-in-robe and study nook.bedroom four with built-in-robe.original family bathroom with bathtub and separate toilet.expansive and private back yard with flat lawns, green walls, established plantings, terraced fire-pit area.large garden shed and smaller shed located on the east side of the home.external sun shades to some windows and back porch.moment from Parklands and Lake Burley Griffin.seeded within the Campbell 5 Precinct, with its cafes, restaurants and Club Lime gym a stones throw away.close to the War Memorial and local schools.whisper close to the Braddon precinct.walking distance to the CBDFINE DETAILS (all approximate): Land size: 731 m2Living size: 147m2 (approx.)EER: 4.0 Build year: 1962 Rates: $6868.29 paUV: $1,150,000 (2026)Rental Opinion: $800 - $850 pwDisclaimer: The information contained in this advertisement is derived from sources we deem reliable.
