Description

INDEPENDENT, 1 br HOUSE/COTTAGE, colonial verandah, full length BIRs with sliding mirrors, located next to Dickson shopping center and a beautiful park, own garden and deck/pergola. (ANU students welcome & two students can share: No dogs pl, cats OK).

(Note: This is not a unit in a block of flats; It is an independent house providing complete privacy & security just like a house)

Perfect for young couple, public servants/graduate assistants, working singles, or intnl. Students.

Do you like to wake up in the morning, melodiously caroled by the birds, then stroll up to the Dickson shopping centre for morning coffee/breakfast ? Or, even better, after being woken up by the sweet songs of the birds, make your breakfast at home, open the fence-gate, step into the adjoining park, and have the breakfast amongst chattering birds ? Either way, the choice of enjoying this magical location/lifestyle is yours! You will be living in one of the Canberra’s rare residences that actually sits right next to a parkland in a peaceful, whisper-quiet area.

If you are a “nature-lover”, and enjoy “walk-cycle-to-everything-lifestyle”, this location, next to a park, is a paradise. Your friends will be envious of the location you live in. Such exclusive locations are owner-populated, and rarely come up for tenancy.

If you are currently living in a multi-storied, noisy block of flats with no privacy (noise of footsteps upstairs/loud chatter through common walls, etc), no garden, or in a house facing noisy road, this location is a perfect alternative.

As you enter the house, you are greeted by a tiled lounge with an adjacent kitchen, followed by the bedroom with a carpet installed for warmth. The bedroom has a built in wardrobe with storage space on top. You will be Sun-warmed by the northerly aspect of the house orientation, ie, drastically reducing your heating bills. In addition, there is a split level air-conditioner that keeps the whole house warm in winter and cool in summer. The bathroom has a laundry tub and a space to put your washing machine.

The house is independently located providing additional privacy & peace from the road. With a separate entrance, an enclosed courtyard with a pergola, you can be the King/Queen of your own little castle and relax in quiet ambience and comfort!

The house has easy access/entry to the adjacent park with a canopy of trees. The tree leaves changing colour in autumn, will remind you of the four changing seasons of Canberra! You will not find another cottage closer to the city area/Dickson precinct, in a park-like-setting like this one. Worried about whether you can fit your large number of friends in the cottage courtyard for parties ? No worries, simply open the fence-gate and extend the party into the park!

You can walk to Dickson shopping centre/bus stand with buses going to all locations every ten minutes, (i. E no need for a car); there is a buzzing array of cafes, china-town spice shops, restaurants, medical services, baby clinic, sporting facilities, public library, swimming pool. You can also easily cycle to ADFA, Australian National University, Catholic University, Russell, CSIRO.

You will be surprised to see even a colonial verandah where you could sit and chat with friends during those hot summer months. Even aIn short, it’s your home away from home!
