Canberra character and creative potential in this intact ex-govie

Ex-government homes with intact floorplans are becoming harder to find as people realise and capitalise on their massive potential, so this gem in Scullin has huge appeal.
North-east facing, with a small covered verandah off the living room, it's the ideal spot to have a morning coffee or sundowner, with the added benefit of being able to step inside to the comfort of a pot belly stove if the temperature drops.
The neat, clean kitchen opens up to a dedicated dining space with views to the side garden.
Three bedrooms are grouped at the opposite end of the living spaces, centred on a compact bathroom with shower over the bath and a separate toilet.
The dedicated laundry opens out to the fully fenced rear yard where you'll find a covered patio that offers the perfect opportunity to entertain while watching the kids or pets race around the large, flat lawn area.
Perfectly liveable right now, this home also provides unlimited creative options to refresh, renovate or extend in a convenient location close to reserves, the Southern Cross Early Childhood School and the Belconnen town centre.
