Original 1979 Wanniassa home ready for big future

Located at 3 Levi Place, Wanniassa, the substantial 1,182sqm block features an original three-bedroom home that has remained virtually untouched since its construction in 1979.

Ray White Canberra sales agent Dan Cooper is marketing the property and said with 65 direct enquiries and 18 attendee groups through the very first week of open homes, the property has quickly become one of the highest-performing listings in the region.

The property is set to go under the hammer on 5 August.

“The buyer response has been phenomenal right out of the gate,” Mr Cooper said.

“What buyers are consistently telling us is that this is simply a phenomenal block in the 'right end of town’.”

“Prime, oversized parcels of land like this in established Wanniassa are extraordinarily rare.

“The practical layout provides a great base, but the real value lies in the land and the lifestyle location.”

Brimming with sentimental history, the property is now ready for its next chapter following the passing of its long-term owner.

For seller Daniel Boyle and his family, the property represents decades of neighbourhood memories.

Selling the property on behalf of his late father, Mr Boyle recalls growing up in a home that was always full of life.

“Dad bought the place back in 1979 when it was brand new, and he loved it so much he never left,” Mr Boyle said.

“My four brothers and I grew up together in that house. It was a fantastic street with plenty of kids our age.

One of Mr Boyle’s brothers moved in temporarily to help their dad when he became sick, however he passed away in August last year.

“Because dad lived there for over 40 years and never renovated, the home is definitely in its original condition and ready for a full rebuild or knockdown,” he said.

“It would suit a young builder or chippy who can construct economically and end up with one of the biggest blocks in the area, or someone looking to build their dream forever home.”
