Inner South Gem - RZ2 Block

Nestled behind a lush Pittosporum hedge this character home offers a wealth of possibilities. Located just steps from the Deakin shops, it’s ideal for those looking to build their dream home in a prime location. Set on a generous 761m² (approx.) RZ2 block, the property offers flexibility to build one or two dwellings, depending on your vision.

Alternatively, the current home retains much of its original charm, providing flexible family living. The entrance foyer opens to the gracious living and dining area with polished boards creating a warm and welcoming ambience. Double doors open to a cosy family room that flows onto a large deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The expansive kitchen, with plenty of room for future updates, leads to a separate laundry.

For those seeking additional accommodation, a large “bedsit” at the rear of the home offers independent living space. Complete with a living and meals area, bedroom, kitchenette, and French doors opening to the rear deck, it’s ideal for elderly family members, teenagers or carers. The home also features two additional bedrooms, including a master bedroom with ensuite.

The front garden is filled with roses and lavender, while the backyard provides plenty of space for children to play in a safe environment. Comfort is assured year-round with ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling and a reverse cycle air conditioner in the bedsit area.

The location is superb – just a leisurely stroll to the Deakin shopping precinct, Deakin/Forrest Pre-School and Girls’ and Junior Grammar Schools. It’s also within easy biking distance to Canberra Grammar School and close to Calvary John James Hospital, the Federal Golf Course, Deakin High School and the Parliamentary Triangle.

Please note, I have personally called Telopea Park School and 13 Chermside Street, Deakin is in the Priority Enrolment area for the High School.
