Elevated Family Haven with Timeless Character
With admirable street appeal and superbly located in an elevated position, this immaculately presented four-bedroom residence is ready to embrace a new family. The composed frontage of sculpted hedges sets the tone, while the elevated front balcony offers an intimate space for coffee, perched above the peaceful streetscape, bathed in morning sunshine.
Timber panelling in the entry creates a warm welcome, revealing the home's character from the very first step. To the left, an expansive lounge unfolds, where picture windows capture the light and leafy views, and exposed beams and a brick feature wall add texture and charm. To the right, a dedicated dining room continues the theme of warm wood accents and leafy vistas.
The dining room flows to the kitchen and family area at the heart of the home. Honey-toned cabinetry speaks to the craftsmanship of the era, while the family room basks in the western sunlight - a winter sanctuary with seamless connection to the terrace beyond. A flexible study is tucked adjacent, offering workspace or a fourth bedroom as life demands.
A hallway separates three bedrooms from the living space, each bedroom comfortably appointed and sharing a family bathroom with a bath. The generous main bedroom is a private sanctuary, complete with an updated ensuite and an outlook over the expansive grounds.
Sliding doors spill to the sunny terrace and walled courtyard beyond. Beyond, the expansive lawn is privately framed by established gardens, with room for a pool, or for children to play freely on the grass.
Set in a quiet street with easy access to the Hawker and Jamison shops, Westfield Belconnen, updated Capital Food Markets, University of Canberra, and North Canberra Hospital. The popular Weetangera Primary School is on your doorstep, along with playing fields and the Pinnacle Nature Reserve. This is a great opportunity to own a character home in a convenient locale.
The current owners of 26 O'Rourke Street have resided in their delightful home for 45 years, and during this time have proudly and meticulously maintained the home and grounds. The next chapter is yours to write.
