Tucked away in a peaceful Turner setting, yet just moments away from ANU and the City, this spacious four-bedder/versatile fifth bedroom gazes out to the Haig Park and is arrayed across two levels, serving up a separate upstairs apartment that floats you among the treetops.
Standing in the upstairs apartment – kitchen combined living, bathroom and bedroom – you can gaze out to Telstra Tower, taking in the terracotta rooftops of old Turner. Think beautiful sunsets, a surrounding of mature trees.
Downstairs is given over to four generous bedrooms and social spaces informed by big windows and lots of lovely Canberra light. One imagines crafting a unique residence, in-tune with history and context, grounded in subtlety and delight. The magic of the location inspiring a fusion of the old and the new. The enormity of the block invites the exciting possibility of forging your dream home.
The North-facing block is wonderfully generous and the position incredible – on the edge of the city, surrounded by nature, steps from Turner Tennis Club, an easy stroll to The RUC, O’Connor shops, a tree sheltered saunter to the Braddon Hub. The mood is vintage Turner, the painted brick and weatherboard from nestled behind mature gardens with a broad front patio, edged with wrought iron. There is so much potential here, the home inviting creativity and tender loving care, with enough room for an extension pushing into the expansive and northern rear garden.
Soulful vintage details – golden timber floors, high ceilings, timber sash windows, doors set with patterned glass – deliver a storied history. The living combined dining room spills to the garden and has retained the original hearth, now set with a gas heater. The kitchen is generous and updated, think lots of storage and electric appliances including an induction cooktop. All four downstairs bedrooms commune with outside via big glazing’s and there is a family bathroom with a separate toilet. The fourth bedroom is north facing and enjoys glass sliders that welcome fresh air and the presence of the garden within.
The home is seeded in a suburban bliss meet’s city edge interplay. Think walking across tree
dotted parkland to Braddon, perhaps a morning coffee or a bully beef toasty from Barrio. Or catch up with friends at the RUC for drinks and barefoot bowls. There is Flatheads for fab fish and chips and street side eating and live music at the nearby Duxton. Braddon, Dickson, Ainslie, New Acton, ANU and the CBD, are all at hand, extending a cornucopia of unique restaurants, bars, and boutique shopping experiences. The home is also close to private and public schools, and transport, including the light rail, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
