44 La Perouse Street, Griffith, ACT 2603

There are times when a unique and very special location comes to the market - and 44 La Perouse Street Griffith is such a location.

Imagine living just an easy stroll to Manuka shopping precinct and the restaurant/cafe life, but also to have a huge 1170m2 parcel of land with a park reserve on two boundaries. Without two boundary fences, the amount of established greenspace seems endless.  Rare indeed.

If the location alone is not enough to entice you, stepping inside this incredibly well-maintained home will feel like a welcoming walk into the past.  Mid century features of large expanses of windows, high ceilings and classic ribbed glass take you back to another era. 

When you visit, your mind will start to race on future plans, as the design of the home - all under the one roofline - opens up thoughts of open air atriums and many more architectural possibilities.

Subject to ACPTLA approvals, the versatility of this home might allow the dining area to become bedroom 3 in the original home, and the 1965 annex  might allow a self-contained separate wing if expansion into the workshop is permitted.   

Of course, if it is just the parcel of land itself you are interested in, please visit as the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.  

Should the open time schedule not suit your timing, please call Christine Shaw on 0405 135 009 for a personal viewing time.
