11 Horrocks Street, Torrens, ACT 2607 - More Details
Auction 10:00am Saturday 26 September
With its 1960s soul, enviable street setting and plenty of scope to make your mark, this graceful three-bedder exudes all the nostalgic charm that you would expect from that era, generous proportions, welcoming ambience, warm timber touches and so much more.
The light brick form is dotted with expansive windows, and the broad front terrace beckons relaxed coffee mornings, gazing across the quietness of the garden.
The home has benefited from some thoughtful updates over the years, including a large extension, gifting a wonderful flexibility and lots of room to move. This is an outstanding canvas, ripe for imagining, capitalising on the idyllic street, and popular Woden Valley position.
Horrocks is a coveted loop street surrounded by green spaces, including the endless bushland peace of Mt Taylor Reserve. It is an easy stroll to Torrens Primary School and the local shops for great coffee from High Society Cafe and fresh pasta from St Elmo. This tranquil suburb is famed for its proximity to the bustling Mawson Southlands, the independent cafe scenes at Chifley, and the dynamic Phillip and Woden Precinct.
Entry is via the sunny front terrace, edged with decorative wrought iron, imbued with the botanical bliss of the garden. There is a welcoming foyer set with a patterned glass panel and an immediate feel of openness and flow as you traverse the generous L-shaped living and dining area. Glass sliders open wide delivering you to the sheltered rear patio with its views across the quiet back yard.
The dining space flows openly into the extension that has privileged the home with the flexibility of a second living area. Anything goes here – lounge room retreat, creative studio for working from home, games area, or enormous rumpus room.
The kitchen design features pleasing neutral tones with timber detailing and banks of cabinetry. There is modern 90cm ceramic cooktop, and a big window that welcomes light and captures the established backyard and near new pergola. There is room for a meals table here as well, which is perfect for family life, the whole space opening onto the rear patio and garden. Meanwhile the adjacent laundry offers plenty of space and storage possibilities.
A slender hallway ushers to three bedrooms, all with vintage timber, built-in robes and windows that capture light and landscape. The family bathroom and separate toilet are original and charming, finished in floral notes of cornflower blue with mosaic tiled floors. There is a bathtub and an updated vanity and glass shower screen.
Opportunities like this don't come along every day. With its original character, spacious proportions and exciting potential, this 1960s classic is ready for someone with vision to bring it into the next chapter. Whether you're looking to renovate, refresh or create something to suit your lifestyle, the possibilities are yours to explore.
