2 George Street

Oaks Estate ACT 2620

Currently comprising two bedrooms and a large open living area divided to serve four individual functions (kitchen/meals, dining, lounge and living/entertainment), showcasing the characteristics of the 1880's construction and the light-filled living areas has been a focus. That being said, relatively simple additions of walls and ventilation could return the living area to a third bedroom and this has been explored (quotes are available on request).

The 2008 extension hosts a modern kitchen and dining area complete with in-slab heating, a gas fireplace and no less than four sets of french doors leading out to the impressive backyard - all while encouraging natural light to stream in through the living areas themselves.

The 850m (approx.) backyard has been extensively landscaped, resulting in a perfect space for children, young and old, whilst the use of irrigation and established native flora will ensure that ongoing maintenance of the gardens themselves can be kept to a minimum. The peaceful surrounds carry with them the history of an apple orchard dating back approximately 100 years as the lone apple tree takes centre stage in the heart of the backyard - but it isn't alone as it is accompanied by a variety of mature fruit trees skirting the boundary.

Additional features include split-system air conditioning, polished hardwood flooring, replaced windows, an external laundry, a Japanese inspired bathroom, attic storage with a retracting staircase, plenty of custom internal storage space, rainwater storage and much more.

Note: Approved plans for an additional double storey extension remain current and are available on request.
