This inviting two-bedroom home blends modernist character with excellent functionality and future potential, complemented by a flexible, self-contained garden studio. The well-balanced floorplan centres around a sunny, private courtyard, with generous windows and sliding doors drawing in natural light and leafy outlooks.
Warm timber joinery, raw brick and classic detailing provide texture and charm, while updated flooring and fresh white interiors create a light, contemporary backdrop. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the courtyard, offering an ideal indoor–outdoor connection for everyday living and entertaining.
The centrally located kitchen and meals area also opens to the courtyard and features crisp white cabinetry with a soft green splashback that echoes the surrounding garden. Both bedrooms include built-in robes and large windows, while the bathroom reflects the home’s era with a bathtub, separate toilet and adjacent laundry.
The separate studio, complete with kitchenette and bathroom, adds exceptional versatility. It comfortably supports a range of living and income options – ideal for a young family, intergenerational living with distinct zones, guest accommodation, or a private workspace. For investors, the layout lends itself to dual-income potential, with the opportunity to live in one residence and rent the other, or establish a passive income stream.
Tilden Place is a unique and highly sought-after enclave – a quiet cul-de-sac opening directly to parkland and connecting to Aranda Bushland and Mount Painter. Importantly, the home sits on its own separate title, with no common walls and no body corporate fees – a rare and highly desirable offering in this area.
Cook occupies a leafy corner of the Belconnen district, flanked by reserves and parkland. Residents enjoy community gardens, Mount Painter Reserve, and extensive walking and cycling trails, with the Arboretum just eight minutes away. Jamison Plaza, the Belconnen precinct and Aranda shops are all within easy reach, along with transport, schools, the AIS, Bruce Stadium and the University of Canberra. The CBD and ANU are approximately ten minutes’ drive away.
