74 Lyttleton Cres, Cook is a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 1968. The property has a land size of 1008m2 and floor size of 151m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in November 2022.
Architect designed extensions, featuring the liberal use of cedar and glass, have created a striking faade to this stylish home, set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens, in a brilliant location.
A circular driveway is covered by a high, portico style carport creating an impressive entrance.
A highlight of the design is the character filled, sunken formal lounge, featuring high raked ceilings with exposed beams and brickwork, the latter surrounding a cosy slow combustion fireplace. Full length, cedar framed windows offer northerly views over gardens and streetscape, and invite winter sunlight to pour in.
As well, there is a high capacity ducted reverse cycle air conditioning system, supported by a massive 15 kW solar panel array, with three phase power to the home.
Stunning Tasmanian Blackwood built-in cabinetry is showcased in the formal dining area.
Dcor has been refreshed throughout in neutral white and contemporary wool carpet furnishes formal living areas and bedrooms.
A master stroke is a sunken, cedar and glass sitting area with a north-east aspect and leather bound seating arranged in a circle, where you can bask in the morning sun over the cooler months, with a shade sail for summer.
The kitchen showcases quality new Fisher and Paykel appliances including a gas cooktop, pyrolytic oven and double drawer dishwasher. There is LED downlighting, plumbing in place for a fridge and endless storage, while a bay picture window frames garden views.
The casual living area opens onto an extensive paved entertaining area with a fish pond, sheltered by a shade sail, overlooking attractively landscaped gardens.
Spacious bedrooms are full of light and the master bedroom offers a wall of modern built-in robes, downlighting and an updated ensuite, with built-in robes, shelving or desks in others. The new main bathroom features a clear skylight and quality finish, and there is in-slab heating in both bathrooms.
R6 ceiling insulation and underfloor insulation throughout add to comfort.
The extraordinarily generous block of approximately 1,008 m2 offers neat grassy areas bordered by trees and shrubs, with attractive new fencing around the side and front maximising the useable area, and creating a sheltered sunny front garden.
A double garage has ceiling insulation and fan with remote.
The superb, peaceful location is only steps from reserve, playground and bus stops, a short walk to local shops and Aranda primary school, or short drive to the Jamison centre, Belconnen Mall or City.
A bike path is close by for a quick trip into Belconnen town centre, or the pleasant 9 k ride along by Lake Burley Griffin into the City centre. Mt. Painter behind Cook has many popular nature trails.
