Elegant style and early 20th century sophistication are the memories you'll take away from an inspection of this gorgeous 3-bedroom red-brick home directly opposite Haig Park, which also features a separate two-storey flat on the grounds for growing teenagers or guests. It's been lovingly updated to suit a modern 21st century family, yet the trimmings and features of its charming past have been left intact - the picture rails, scalloped cornices, 9ft ceilings and grooved detail on the walls that give it an instant sense of yesteryear. The size and space within the rooms, too, is reminiscent of an era when heavy sideboards, pianos and huge brass beds were commonplace so you can rest assured each room is adaptable for a wide range of furniture layouts.Beyond its quaint entrance foyer is an inviting living room, complete with a fireplace, that adjoins the home's kitchen and a separate formal dining room. The kitchen not only features modern appliances, bench-space and storage but also is large enough to accommodate a table and chairs for casual meals and breakfasts; its window overlooks the rear yard and there's a kitchen door that provides immediate access to the sitting area just outside.The home's three bedrooms provide ample space for each family member to create a world of their own. The L-shaped master bedroom is vast, with sliding glass doors opening to the greenery in the rear yard and a private alcove that could be used as a study area or parent's retreat.The home's superbly renovated bathroom and a separate WC sit evenly between all of the bedrooms.The grassy rear yard and gardens of the 787 sqm (approx) block are easily large enough for pets or child's play while Haig Park directly across the road offers a lifetime's worth of strolling paths and picnic spots, plus a refreshing way to start each morning on the walk to work.Pretty from the kerbside, and refreshingly old-world chic throughout, 74 Condamine St presents a rare opportunity to buy into Canberra's inner city circle.
