Old Canberra Charm on a Massive Block of Land!
Auction Location: On site. One of the things that draws people to the inner suburbs of Canberra, apart from the sheer convenience of location, is the charm and character of the older areas. Burley Griffin's vision of wide, tree-lined streets and an open, garden city feel, certainly applies to Reid - home to Canberra's oldest residences. Built in 1927 of double brick and terracotta tile construction, 36 Elimatta Street is the epitome of our city's early architecture. The arched brick front doorway makes way to a welcoming hallway and as you step further into the house, you are greeted with heritage character features including high ceilings, picture rails, timber sash windows and the original solid timber doors. The home has grown over time and now has a large, versatile floor-plan with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. A light and bright sunroom overlooks the extensive gardens and a large rumpus room forms part of a separate wing, which could easily become self-contained. The home is warmed by hydronic heating and also features a slow combustion fireplace in the expansive lounge room, while the rumpus room is host to a reverse cycle air-conditioner. There are solar powered gates to the driveway and the original lock up garage boasts a storeroom at the rear. The gardens are simply delightful, with many mature trees and raised vegetable patches that have been lovingly tended for over 50 years, and the heritage listing means the grand streetscape will never change. The block is an enormous 1,476m2 and there is so much potential here to put your stamp on. The convenient location means the Canberra city, the lake, the delights of Braddon, the National Library and other such icons are all within walking distance. Properties like this come up only rarely and they are simply not being built any more. At a glance - Large 1,476m2 block - 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home - Hydronic heating, slow combustion fireplace and reverse-cycle air-conditioning - 5 minute walk to Glebe Park - 2 minute walk to Reid Oval - 10 minute walk to Canberra CBD - 5 minute walk to the beautiful Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve (with its plethora of walking and cycling tracks) - Because of its heritage charm, the home is heritage listed and the streetscape will never change
