Cover home, February 27: Yarralumla family house goes to auction

YARRALUMLA

34 HUTCHINS STREET

$1.4-$1.5 million

“Yarralumla is nestled away from noisy roads and traffic and yet it is only minutes from the airport and major shopping centres.” Owners Mick and Sue

Set under the canopy of 80-year-old American oaks, Hutchins Street is alive with colour in autumn. It’s the perfect time to check out this new listing in Yarralumla.

This elegant three-bedroom home was designed to maximise natural light through the north and east-facing windows. High ceilings and open-plan living spaces create a sense of space and ambience.

The kitchen is superbly appointed with ample Caesarstone benchtops, an island bench and Bosch appliances. An original leadlight window salvaged from a federation home in Sydney lends a beautiful character to the room.

Spotted gum timber floors flow from the kitchen to the dining room and open-plan living area. A covered al fresco area flows from this space, creating a great environment for entertaining.

The main suite is also on the ground floor with a walk-in wardrobe and dual-basin en suite with heated floor. It also has its own courtyard.

You’ll find the other two bedrooms upstairs with a two-way bathroom and a balcony.

The Royal Canberra Golf Club, Lake Burley Griffin and some of Canberra’s top restaurants and cafes are among the local attractions.

Number 34 Hutchins Street will be auctioned on March 19 at 10am, onsite. Phone LJ Hooker Belconnen agent Cameron Colquhoun and Lyn Chambers on 0402 842 291 or 0418 661 980. Inspect: Saturday, 1.30pm-2pm and Thursday, 5.30-6pm. EER: 3.0
