13 Findlay St, Higgins ACT 2615, Australia
Set well back from the street, surrounded by established gardens and backing onto a public reserve, this solid ‘Ex-Govie’ three-bedroom brick veneer and tile home offers real privacy as well as great potential for renovations or an extension.
THE HOME
The entry leads directly into the well-sized formal lounge room complete with reverse cycle air conditioning. The adjoining kitchen has been updated and includes an electric oven/cooktop, range hood, dishwasher, plenty of bench space and overhead cupboard space with a view over the rear garden. Integrated within the kitchen space is a generous meals area.
Walking through the side wing of the property, there are three well-sized bedrooms, the main bedroom with a built-in robe and ceiling fan. The two remaining bedrooms both include double door entry which can be a very useful feature for the elderly and disabled or gives the option for an open children’s play area or home office.
The bathroom has been updated and includes a bathtub and separate toilet. There’s also a well-sized laundry. Other features which make this home appealing include an instantaneous gas water service and 12 rooftop solar panels.
Outside, the large, covered timber deck is the perfect place to enjoy a summer BBQ with friends. With 1,081m2 (approx.) of land, there’s room for a veggie patch or chickens, the kids can play in the yard or if they want more space, there’s direct access behind to the lovely public reserve and nearby Bevan Street playground.
Car accommodation is a large detached double carport with an attached multi-purpose room ideal as a workshop and/or storage room.

13 Findlay Street is conveniently located only a short walk to public transport on Findlay or Kinsella Streets and the Bicentennial National (walking) Trail. A 2-minute drive will take you to the nearby Higgins shops and the Kingsford Smith School which is only 1.8kms from the home.
