20 Euree Street

Reid ACT 2612

The solid brickwork of the chimney is a feature in the Canberra red brick faade, suggesting an image of cosy blazes over the decades. Splashes of colour appear through the seasons in the established gardens, with many spring bulbs.

Step back in time as the front door opens to the generous formal lounge, featuring timber framed sash windows, furnished with pelmets and quality drapes, and the brick fireplace with mantlepiece, where a gas heater has been installed. Wool carpet in good condition extends through formal living areas and over the stairway.

Formal lounge and dining have an open plan flow and full length windows in the dining room invite in plenty of light and frame an outlook over the cottage garden. Retrofitted double glazing to living areas adds to comfort.

Updated in recent years, the kitchen offers wide bench space and a Miele stainless steel oven, glass cooktop and a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. A reverse cycle air conditioner and a gas heater maintain comfort in the casual living area, while the north aspect allows winter sunlight to pour in. From the meals area a sliding door opens onto an inviting sitting area with flagstone paving, overlooking the gardens.

Adjacent and also enjoying the sunny north aspect is the spacious master bedroom extension, which offers a wall of built-in robes, ensuite and quality wool carpet.

On the upper level, three bedrooms feature built-in robes, picture rails and the original timber flooring, while the two front bedrooms are particularly generous and enjoy a treetop outlook. On this level, the spacious main bathroom includes a bath.

A separate laundry on the lower level opens to garden, and adjacent w/c has external access only.

Climbing roses adorn an arbour creating a delightful sitting area in the leafy rear garden, sheltered by mature deciduous trees. Under plantings of camellias, spring bulbs, and fragrant daphne and lavender bring seasonal colour and scent to the garden.

There is a carport with room on the driveway for additional cars and a garden shed.

This property presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy the historic precinct, with an original street sign on the nearby corner. From this prime location, it is only a short walk into all the cafes, restaurants and shops in the City centre, Civic swimming pool, Glebe Park, Anzac Parade, the War Memorial, Commonwealth Park and pathways around the lake!
