Iconic Canberra Duplex with Contemporary Extension

Blending original charm with thoughtful modern updates, this beautifully presented duplex has been sympathetically extended to create light-filled, free-flowing interiors.

Step onto the welcoming front deck and into the generous living room, featuring Tasmanian Ash floors, celestial and double-glazed European windows that capture both sunlight and garden views. The adjoining dining area connects seamlessly to the surprisingly large crisp white kitchen, offering excellent storage with a pantry, abundant cupboards and drawers, Smeg electric oven with four-burner gas cooktop, LG dishwasher and Olle exhaust vented externally.

Upstairs, three bedrooms include two with built-in wardrobes, while the third makes an ideal study, nursery or dressing room. The bathroom has been refreshed with a newly glazed bath and updated shower screen, complemented by a powder room and laundry on the lower level.

Outdoors, the spacious fully fenced garden offers both a safe play area for children and a private space for entertaining. Just across the road, a wide green reserve with a playground provides an added bonus for families and enhances the home’s lifestyle appeal. Practical features include a single carport, reverse-cycle air conditioning in the living room, wall heater upstairs, 12 solar panels, large under-stair storage and a linen cupboard.

Positioned in a peaceful pocket where many neighbouring duplexes have already been thoughtfully upgraded, this appealing home presents an excellent opportunity in a sought-after setting. The property is near the Hughes shopping precinct, Canberra Hospital and the Woden Town Centre. Schools in the area include Hughes and Saints Peter and Paul Primary Schools, Melrose High School, Marist and Canberra Colleges.
