In the heart of Forrest and just a few meters to the Manuka Village your opportunity has arrived to live in one of Canberra’s premier locations, on a substantial block giving you the possibility to own ‘The Dream’.

This classic piece of Canberra’s history has been maintained beautifully and still shows off many original features such as the timber sash windows, original doors and picture rails. The kitchen and bathrooms have been modernised to suit today’s family needs and the huge block of over 1300sqm will allow for further extension to the home now or in the future.

The feel of the home is very special with fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms, the high ceilings and gorgeous window treatments compliment the classic beauty of the era. The owners did have plans in train for a significant extension and pool to utilise this huge flat block, this opportunity could now be yours.

With Manuka Village at your doorstep, the Manuka oval undergoing a major redevelopment in the near future, impeccable schools close by and easy access to the Parliamentary triangle, Barton and the City Centre your Inner South lifestyle can begin.

You will not find another block of this size and offering amazing potential for further development this close to Manuka, this is truly a rare opportunity so don’t delay inspection or please call me to discuss this wonderful piece of Canberra history.
