Set on a generous 1,173m2 block, behind the retro roofline, deep shingled eaves and wide frontage of this home, you'll find an extended layout, refreshed areas and potential for more renovations.
The existing home already boasts impressive sustainability credentials, with a 9.4kW solar array and a Tesla Powerwall battery featuring 13.5kWh capacity wired to provide back-up power during grid outages, plus real-time energy monitoring capability.
North-facing living zones harness winter sun while remaining protected from summer heat, exemplifying the principles of solar-passive design and providing light-filled spaces that feel comfortable, efficient and inviting year-round. An oversized family room flows out to the substantial backyard and alfresco entertaining area complete with woodfire oven - a natural extension of the home where families can gather and spend time together, with a generous lawned area and raised vegetable planters enhancing its appeal for children. As the seasons cool, the formal lounge and dining come into their own, with a fireplace adding warmth and ambience.
Three bedrooms include the main, which features a generously sized ensuite. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, this tightly held pocket of Curtin is cherished for its peaceful, family-friendly setting, where tree-lined streets and established gardens create a calm, welcoming environment. It's a place where children can grow up with ease, with the added advantage of being able to walk to one of two schools without crossing a road.
Despite its tranquillity, the location remains exceptionally well connected - with Curtin shops just a short stroll away, and easy access to Woden Town Centre, Yarralumla, Weston Creek, the City and Canberra Hospital all within minutes. A comfortable home as it stands, with a natural sense of warmth in its layout, it also presents a genuine opportunity to further enhance, renovate or reimagine in a location that continues to be highly sought after by families.
