56 Carroll St, Hughes is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 328m2 and floor size of 102m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in February 2021.
This stylish three bedroom home was once a part of the Australian National University development that was built to house the academic staff. Built in 1964 this area of Carroll street was developed following the "Radburn" pattern first created in New Jersey, USA. The central feature of this type of development is that all houses face into parkland and pathways taking you to the local shops and community facilities. A clever design to encourage a tight-knit community which still continues today.
Nestled into a well established cottage garden and fronting the Carroll Street Common is a charming terrace home rarely found in Canberra. Centrally located amongst the leafy streets of Hughes this welcoming terrace home presents a great opportunity for a relaxed lifestyle.
The kitchen is largely original and features a dishwasher and a stainless steel Smeg stove with electric oven and gas cooktop. It overlooks the private courtyard and leads into the cleverly designed laundry which has its own access to a powder room.
Upstairs the three bedrooms all have built-in robes and are light-filled and feature garden views. Two of the three bedrooms are double in size and all bedrooms are serviced by the updated bathroom plus a study nook on the landing.
