Offers over $1,250,000
There is something immediately special about 2 Len Barratt Street. Proudly positioned on an elevated corner block directly opposite reserve, this is a home that feels private, spacious and wonderfully connected to its surroundings, but it is what the current owners have created over the past three years that really sets it apart.
Extensively renovated and thoughtfully reimagined, almost every part of the home has been considered with family life, comfort and entertaining in mind. From the beautiful herringbone timber flooring and warm, inviting living spaces inside, to an incredible alfresco area complete with a spa and wood fire, this is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed.
The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living area, where high ceilings and beautiful herringbone flooring create an immediate sense of warmth and character. A feature bio-fuel fireplace makes this a particularly inviting space through the cooler months, while the generous proportions allow family and friends to come together without ever feeling crowded.
Sitting alongside is a kitchen that is every bit as impressive as the living space. A substantial stone island provides a natural gathering point, while the generous walk-in pantry, excellent storage and adjoining built-in bar make entertaining remarkably easy. Quality appliances include a 900mm electric oven, five-burner gas cooktop and rangehood.
For families, the flexibility throughout the floorplan is another real highlight. Multiple living areas provide space to come together as well as room to spread out, including a front lounge room and separate breakout or rumpus room ideal for children and an additional carpeted living area that offers a quieter place to retreat.
The main bedroom provides a genuine parents' sanctuary, complete with both a built-in robe and generous walk-in robe, together with its own ensuite. The remaining bedrooms all include built-in robes, providing excellent storage for a growing family. Both bathrooms have been beautifully refreshed with contemporary microcement finishes, with the addition of a separate powder room making busy family mornings that little bit easier.
Over the past three years, the owners have invested considerably in transforming the home, with improvements including new carpets, new flooring, updated bathrooms and UPVC double-glazed windows. The result is a home that feels fresh and contemporary while still retaining the warmth and personality that makes a family home feel like home.
And then there is the alfresco.
This is a space that completely changes the way you can enjoy the property. Generously sized and designed for year-round use, it incorporates a spa and Chiminee Philippe wood fire, all while enjoying an outlook towards the surrounding mountains and your own backyard. Summer afternoons with friends, long family lunches, a drink around the fire on a winter evening or simply unwinding in the spa at the end of the week, this is a space made for creating memories.
Practicality has been equally well considered. The large laundry offers extensive cabinetry, generous bench space, a modern sink and direct external access, while an impressive 8.3kW solar system helps keep energy costs down. Ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling ensures the home remains comfortable throughout Canberra's changing seasons.
Set on a generous 630m² corner block directly opposite reserve, there is a wonderful sense of openness around the home that is increasingly hard to find. Three local shopping options and two schools are also within walking distance, adding everyday convenience to an already impressive lifestyle offering.
Beautifully renovated, incredibly well equipped and filled with spaces designed to bring people together, 2 Len Barratt Street is much more than an impressive list of features. It is a warm and welcoming family home where much of the hard work has already been done, leaving its next owners to simply move in, make it their own and enjoy everything it has to offer.
