An original 1930s, classic red brick Griffith home could have strong appeal to a young family.

Six schools – St Edmunds, St Clare’s, Canberra Grammar, Forrest Primary, Telopea High School and Narrabundah College – are just minutes away from this Barrallier Street address.

The home owner’s son, Jim Laity, says his parents bought the home in 1982 after they retired off the land.

“It was close to family and Mum loved it because it was also central to everything,” he says.

“She was a keen bowler, too, and back in those days there were plenty of clubs nearby.”

This home retains its character with high ceilings throughout. There is a good-sized lounge room, separate dining and a large sunroom overlooking mature gardens and a thriving vegetable patch.

The three bedrooms are well-proportioned and there is a neat and tidy kitchen.  

 “It certainly would appeal to a family who want to live in it as is – or who might want to extend and renovate,” Jim says.

“A developer would also find plenty to like about a level 892-square-metre block.”
