Big block, big potential: a mid-century gem in the heart of Forrest

The opportunities are endless at 12 Hobart Avenue, a two-storey home nestled among the leafy streets of Forrest.

At first glance you’ll notice a modest rendered house with space to breathe, but there’s much more to it.

“The original home has been updated while still maintaining its charm and character,” says Hive Property’s Michael Morris.

You see aspects of its mid-century beginnings in the ceiling details, brick fireplace, timber shelving and bathrooms.

Upstairs are the four bedrooms, while the ground floor is zoned into multiple spaces, including an open kitchen and meals zone, a separate formal living and dining area, a family room and a sunroom.

Wrapped in glass-paned windows that overlook the terrace and yard, the latter will be a welcome spot to warm the chill on crisp winter days when the sun is shining.

“Sitting on a large north-facing block, there is huge potential to renovate or extend on this rare parcel of NCA land,” Morris says of the 1232-square-metre block.

“It’s the perfect foothold for a family home or definitively one of the best investment options for a savvy owner to reimagine the block’s potential in Canberra’s best suburb.”
