One of the first homes built in the area, this cottage was built in 1929 and has been in the one family for more than 76 years. Over the years the home has been extended but is in largely original condition with significant upgrading along the way.

The City of Canberra has literally grown up around it. The tales this house could tell would be amazing. The owner has memories of the famous trees in the park adjacent to Flinders Way being planted when he was a child - they now form an important part in the landscape and infrastructure of Manuka and Griffith.

Situated on a large level block of approx 1071m2 with north facing rear and lovely established gardens. Fruit trees include; apricot, fig, apple, grape and lemon.

The original home consists of 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a modern kitchen and separate laundry. There is ducted evaporative cooling and a gas heater in the lounge room.

At the rear of the property is a self contained one bedroom flat currently rented on a periodic lease for $250 per week. The flat consists of an eat-in kitchen, living room, generously sized bedroom, bathroom and laundry. Light and airy, with picturesque outlooks to the gardens.

The house and flat are under the one roof line and by simply opening up a connecting door, the house could easily convert to a spacious 3 bedroom home.

Character features throughout; picture rails, ornate federation style ceilings and the best feature of all - a timber arched front door and matching arched windows into the front sunroom, reminiscent of Hobbit architecture.

This location is 2nd to none - located only 500m from the Manuka Shopping Village and adjacent to Griffith Park. You will be living in the heart of the Inner South.
