9 Tennyson Crescent

Forrest ACT 2603

Peeling off the main corridor, the master suite is of appropriate proportions, with a corner sitting area returning to a renovated ensuite. Bedrooms 2, 3 + 4 are all beautiful large rooms, with garden views through double hung windows, battened ceilings and large built in robes. Notably, a recently renovated porcelain tiled bathroom adds a touch of modern luxury, with freestanding vanity, period fixtures + Kaldewei bath. Timeless in finish, impeccable in quality.

The uniqueness doesn't end there. A fully self-contained three-bedroom ensuite cottage to the rear provides a retreat for visitors or extended families. Bathed in sunlight, the cottage is well proportioned, has private alfresco spaces, and its own private entry. Built in the 1970's but tastefully modernised in the early 2000's.

Car enthusiasts will be appreciative of an oversized double garage, and adjoining 3rd garage or work from home/ hobby/ storage room. Plus the brick lined asphalt drive with automatic gates both onto Tennyson + Wilmot Streets and portico connecting the main house to the cottage. A valuable land holding of some 3500m2 of perfectly developed Forrest land, sitting on the high side within the best school catchments.

The history of this home adds to its allure. Designed by Architect Mr. Kenneth Oliphant, 'Darlington' was built in the late 1920s for Mr. Sidney Ryan, a prominent local dentist from Queanbeyan. This historical significance imbues the property with character and depth, and understandably in all its years, this is only the fourth time offered for sale.
