Spacious rooms with high ceilings, full of light and a sense of history are to be found in this Tocumwal cottage, situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac within the heritage precinct, in one of Canberra's earliest suburbs.

Timber framed windows, weatherboard cladding and brick chimney add to the authentic charm and street appeal.

Striking, original polished flooring features in the entry and some bedrooms. The generously sized formal lounge is a highlight of the home, and is bathed in natural light from windows on three sides plus a large skylight.

The home has been refreshed throughout in neutral white and brand new carpet features in the lounge, study and third bedroom. The fireplace and a slow combustion heater, (which is not currently installed), add to ambience, while comfort is assured with a new reverse cycle air conditioner.

The spacious casual living area retains original character, and French doors in the dining area open onto a large covered entertaining deck. The functional kitchen offers timber benchtops, an electric stove and a pantry.

The wide entertaining deck is sheltered by bountiful Kiwi fruit vines and offers a totally private outlook over the rear garden, a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and birdsong.

North facing sash windows feature in all bedrooms and the oversized master boasts a romantic window seat, plus a picture window which provides a private outlook over the lush front garden.

The second bedroom also has polished Cypress flooring, while the study and third bedroom are newly carpeted. The third bedroom offers a sink, an air conditioner and French doors opening to the rear deck, allowing for flexible living options.

The bathroom is presented in good condition and has a bath and separate w/c.

There is a garden shed and ample off street parking.

The friendly neighbourhood enjoys gatherings in the nearby park. The leafy streets of this long established suburb are a delight to walk in, and nature trails on O'Connor ridge. It is just a short stroll to the O'Connor shops, Co-operative school and Lyneham high school.

The ANU, University of Canberra, Dickson and City centre are within easy reach by car, public transport, or along the many bike paths.
