Classic Canberra Red Brick Home a stone's throw from the CBD – Circa 1947
Auction Unless Sold Prior - Bidders Guide High $900s.
Home is where the heart is and where memories are made. You can feel that as soon as you walk through the front door of 16 Thorpe Avenue. Only the second time offered since it was built in 1947. This beautiful home has retained a lot of its original features including mouldings, switches, doors, handles, some blinds and light fittings.
Originally owned by Royce Howlett and his wife Gladys. Royce was a champion producer of show chooks, and the poultry shed at the Queanbeyan Show Ground was named after him.
The home's entrance is welcoming with dual entry stairs and a beautiful sunroom. Three large bedrooms with built-in robes in two rooms accommodate sleeping. Two bathrooms are ideally located near the bedrooms. The large living room is complete with a brick open fireplace and has direct access to the spacious kitchen. This area really is the heart of the home. A study area at the back overlooks the somewhat park-like yard with mature trees that show off all year-round. An original 1950 Hills hoist clothesline adds some nostalgia.
The current owners have been sympathetic to the home's original aesthetic and have updated the kitchen complete with an integrated ASKO dishwasher, gas cooktop, under bench oven and a spacious pantry. Creature comforts of instant hot water and reverse-cycle ducted cooling and heating have been added.
A tandem carport and single shed complete the package.
Ideally located within 5 minutes walking distance of Queanbeyan's vibrant CBD, all conveniences are at your fingertips. The Glebe Park River Reserve is directly across the road and perfect for a birthday party. The suspension bridge with access to the Queanbeyan golf course is also close by. Local primary schools and daycare centres are a short walk away.
