Just move in an enjoy this charmer of a home!

The home is classic Canberra, with its red brick exterior, pitched tiled rooftop and large double-glazed windows helping with the winter chill and summer heat. The deck faces due north and looks across beautiful established gardens, with fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and plenty of soft lawn for the kids to play. There is something lovely about the life on offer here, picking pears from the trees along the fence line, harvesting fresh vegetables or settling in for long lunches with friends in the sunshine.

This charming updated three bedder is filled with character, potential and beautiful north easterly light. The home feels wonderfully connected to its surroundings, resting within a generous block and embraced by greenery. An auto gate opens into the fenced grounds, where a long driveway leads to a metal garage set deep within the block. There is an additional dedicated parking bay and gardens filled with camellias, irises and other lovely trees and shrubs. Greenery wraps around the home, bringing a sense of privacy and creating a garden that feels established, loved and full of life.

The slow combustion fireplace brings warmth to the front living room, making it an inviting place to settle in through the cooler months. Dark stained timber floors meet fresh white walls for a simple, relaxed feel.

The combined kitchen and dining area is a warm and welcoming hub, with a big window looking out to the northern gardens. There is plenty of space here for everyday life, with room for a generous table where everyone can come together. The updated cabinetry has a relaxed country feel, while modern appliances, including a dishwasher, make things easy.

The master bedroom is inviting and generous, with a large built-in robe for easy storage. Big windows draw in the greenery of the deep frontage and plenty of natural light. The second bedroom includes a built-in robe and enjoys both north and eastern light with the third making an ideal kids bedroom or study. The family bathroom has a bathtub and teal green detailing, bringing a little colour and personality to the space.

Cooper Place is a pretty, peaceful street culminating in green commons that connect to nearby reserves. You can walk to EPIC and pick up fresh produce from the National Capital Farmers Market on weekends, while the Watson shops are close by for coffee, pizza at The Knox, relaxed dining at Lola and Lola, as well as Watson Takeaway and the local Superbarn. Dickson shops and its array of international cuisines are also within easy reach. The Braddon precinct, Ainslie shops, ANU and the CBD are all close to hand, with schools, transport and the light rail also conveniently nearby.
