Set amongst beautiful established gardens on a generous 1,027.5sqm parcel of land, this charming four-bedroom family home is positioned in a quiet leafy street within Yarralumla's Embassy Belt, providing a peaceful garden sanctuary in one of the suburb's most desirable locations.
Built in 1965 and extended over the years, the home is comfortable and has a serene and relaxed, free-flowing layout with two generous living areas, an updated kitchen with open-plan dining, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Original hardwood timber floors add character, complemented by large, double-glazed windows that draw in an abundance of natural light and take in delightful leafy garden views in almost every direction, adding to the home's peaceful, almost romantic atmosphere.

The expansive gardens are one of the many wonderful features of this property, with mature trees, flowering plants and generous lawn areas forming a richly layered landscape that changes with the seasons. A large pergola draped in flowering wisteria and star jasmine covers the limestone entertaining terrace, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and relaxed gatherings, while the Japanese moss garden and pond provide a tranquil retreat. Vegetable gardens and a powered workshop/shed add further interest.
For those looking to the future, the generous block also offers excellent potential to renovate, extend or consider a new residence, subject to approvals.
The location is superb, close to the lake, Weston and Stirling Parks, and beautiful Yarralumla Bay. Yarralumla and Deakin shops, cafés and restaurants are nearby, along with Royal Canberra Golf Club, Government House, excellent schools and medical facilities, while the Parliamentary Triangle is just a short drive away.
