A Timeless Canberra Residence Where Character Meets Contemporary Living

Nestled along the ghost gum-lined Nardoo Crescent, this beautifully renovated Canberra home with a thoughtful two-storey extension (completed in 2012) perfectly blends heritage charm with modern comfort.

Designed to balance openness and intimacy, the home offers a variety of indoor and outdoor living zones-each inviting you to entertain, relax, or retreat to your own private corner. From the warm character of the original Canberra Metta oven and open fireplace to the pressed tin detailing, every feature reflects care, craftsmanship, and personality.

The generous main bedroom suite feels like a true sanctuary, with French doors opening to a large balcony overlooking the pool and garden. Complete with a walk-in robe, ensuite with spa bath, and leafy outlooks, it's a space designed for quiet indulgence.

Step outside and discover a home that truly embraces the outdoors. Entertain in style on the expansive deck with an outdoor kitchen and heating, cool off in the solar-heated swimming pool, or enjoy a pizza night with friends under the stars. The established gardens feature heritage roses, fruit trees, and a productive vegetable patch with space for a chook pen-creating a private oasis in the heart of the city.

Perfectly positioned between the Lyneham and O'Connor shops, and within walking distance to Tilley's iconic café and bar, schools, parks, and public transport, this home offers the best of both worlds: inner-city convenience with a rare sense of calm and seclusion.
