Nestled in prestigious Kingston, this enchanting 1927 residence presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Canberra's early architectural history. Positioned on a level 544m2 block, this well-maintained cottage showcases stunning period features while offering contemporary comfort through thoughtful updates. Framed by established gardens and tree-lined streets, the home's classic symmetry and period details reflect the graceful design principles of its era. The leafy streetscape and wide verges create an atmosphere of tranquility, while being mere minutes from the capital's most vibrant cultural hubs.
This property is truly one-of-a-kind, perfectly balancing heritage charm with modern functionality, offering open spaces and a sense of tranquillity that's becoming increasingly hard to find. The home itself has been thoughtfully designed to balance both comfort and functionality and offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a main with built-in robe. The stylish bathroom and separate WC have been updated while maintaining period appropriate fixtures.
The bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a practical breakfast bar, flowing seamlessly to a covered entertaining area ideal for year-round outdoor living. The welcoming lounge room is adorned with a statement botanical print and features French doors opening to a sun-drenched deck, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor connection. Beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, and abundant natural light enhance the home's innate character.
The home's practical aspects haven't been overlooked, with a dedicated laundry room, linen closet, and ample storage throughout. The property includes both a secure garage and additional carport, rare for the area.
Located just 800m from Kingston shops and 1.2km from Manuka's boutique shopping and dining precinct, this home offers unparalleled convenience. Kingston Foreshore's waterfront restaurants are within a 15-minute walk, while Telopea Park School and St Edmund's College are both under 1km away. With easy access to Parliament House (2km) and Lake Burley Griffin, this location perfectly balances professional convenience with lifestyle amenity.
