A highly sought-after location on the Griffith/Narrabundah border. This gently sloping 947m2 block has an ideal long northerly aspect. #68 Stuart Street presents a significant opportunity as a lovely character-packed home or prime development block. Or maybe a little of both.This home is a short walk to the boutique Griffith shops and minutes from great schools – Canberra Grammar, St Clare's, St Edmund's, Narrabundah College, Telopea Park, St Benedict's and Red Hill Primary. It is a gentle flat stroll into the thriving café scenes of Manuka and Kingston. It is close to Fyshwick and the Parliamentary triangle.The Kenneth Oliphant-designed Canberra red brick home is a standout with its curved front entry and pretty tessellated tiles. The spaces are generous and practical, and enhanced by timber sash windows, high ceilings and ornate cornices. Every room enjoys a different, yet interesting garden view. The living areas flow into a paved alfresco area, lawns and established gardens.Situated on the high side of the street and looking through oak trees to the north-east, the land holding is a dream. Some 947m2 in the RZ2 zone, and within walking distance of shops, cafes, restaurants and quality educational institutions.Inside and out, this home is authentic and well kept.* Tightly-held location in an exclusive suburb, across from the boutique Griffith shops* Beautifully maintained home with modernised kitchen and bathrooms* Character features including high ceilings, ornate cornices, curved bay windows in lounge and main bedroom* Large bedrooms with a fresh and modern aesthetic* Ducted air conditioning, ducted gas heating, plus slow combustion wood fireplace* Separate cedar backyard studio/office that is perfect for working from home* French doors that open onto a shaded courtyard* Shady gardens with plum, citrus, apple and fig trees; flowering shrubs underplanted with bulbs and ground cover* Minutes from Canberra Grammar, St Edmund's, St Clare's and Narrabundah colleges, Telopea Park School, Red Hill Primary and St Bede's
