Genteel family living at its best in Griffith

An elegant Griffith home set on well-established grounds offers genteel family living in one of Canberra’s most sought-after inner-south addresses.

The house is on a generous 1669-square-metre block in the Bass Gardens precinct.

It is brimming with original period features like high ceilings, picture rails and timber-framed windows and doors.

A cleverly-designed floor plan offers flowing formal and casual areas that include family zones, dining spaces and a large rumpus room that can easily fit a snooker table.

The eat-in kitchen is smart and modern with sleek gas appliances, walk-in pantry and plenty of storage.

There are three double bedrooms in the main house and two bathrooms. The main includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobes and has french doors that open onto the garden.

The leafy backyard provides space to relax or entertain with a patio, landscaped gardens and a sunlit, level lawn.

There’s a separate self-contained studio with kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and its own private entrance. It’s the perfect space for a home office, teenage retreat or guests.

This character property comes complete with a lock-up triple garage, workshop and garden shed.

It is  on a quiet street within strolling distance of Manuka shops, local parklands and some of the area’s elite schools.
