42 Wrixon St, Latham ACT 2615, Australia

With a deep setback from the street, nestled on 804m2 of land with established trees and gardens, this partially renovated, three bedroom home ticks all the boxes for renovators and first home buyers, plus has a few surprises up its sleeve.

THE HOME

The entry opens into the generous lounge and dining rooms which leads out through sliding doors to a large covered balcony. The adjoining kitchen has been updated and includes an electric oven, gas cooktop, plenty of bench space and overhead cupboard space with a view over the rear garden.

There are three well-sized bedrooms, with built-in robes included in the main and second bedrooms.

The bathroom is original and includes a bathtub and separate shower. There is also a separate laundry and toilet.

Other features which make this home appealing are the ducted gas heating, split system air conditioners in the living and main bedroom as well as new flooring in the family/meals area, entry and hallway.

The covered balcony off the meals area is the perfect place to cook a summer BBQ and watch the kids playing outside.

A very handy bonus is the multi purpose spaces downstairs. With external access, these two rooms could be used for any number of purposes including a hobby room or work from home space.

The oversized rear yard which is fully fenced and gated, will be a great place for the kids and pets to play and for the new owners to discover their ‘green thumb’.

Car accommodation is taken care of with a large free-standing double metal garage.

THE LOCATION

A short walk takes you to public transport on Onslow Street or nearby Southern Cross Drive, while only a 1.2km drive takes you to the popular Kippax Fair which includes a wide range of retail options and medical services.

If needing to be close to schools is a priority, it’s a short and safe walk via a bike path under Onslow Street to the local Latham Primary School while St Francis of Xavier College is less than a kilometre from the home.
