Last Listing description (June 2023)

In a wonderfully convenient Inner North location, only a short walk to Watson shops, excellent schools and a tram stop, this well presented Canberra red brick duplex offers separate living areas, three bedrooms and a level rear garden with entertaining and sitting areas.

The home faces north-east and the attractively landscaped, native front garden and a sunny sitting area are sheltered by neat hedging, which adds to the street appeal.

Formal lounge and dining are full of light from full length windows furnished with quality drapes and polished timber flooring features in the entry and formal living areas.

The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove and leads to the laundry and a w/c, and there is a cosy family room. There is a generous storage area under the stairs.

Brand new carpet in a neutral shade furnishes the stairway and upper level.

The spacious master bedroom offers a built-in robe as does the third bedroom, and both have an elevated garden outlook. Bathed in winter sunlight, the second bedroom overlooks treetops and nature strip.

On this level, the main bathroom is presented in good condition and includes a bath with a shower.

An entertaining area at the rear of the home overlooks the grassy rear garden, bordered by mature gardens and Colorbond fencing for complete privacy and secure play space.

Double gates open to a carport and off-street parking for an additional vehicle, and there are two large garden sheds. Towards the rear, a pergola shelters a sitting area, shaded and inviting on warm summer days.

The brilliant location is just a short walk from the fabulous caf and bakery at Watson shops, Majura and Rosary primary schools, or Dickson College. A bus stop is at the door, and Lyneham high school is a short distance away. It is just a pleasant stroll to a light rail stop at the end of Philip Avenue, for a rapid trip into Dickson shops, Farmers' Markets or the City centre!

Parks, ovals and nature trails on Mt. Majura and Mt. Ainslie are nearby.
