Historic Reid house combines best of old and new

Behind its 1930s facade, this four-bedroom house in Geerilong Gardens retains its original charm, yet it has been beautifully reconfigured to meet the needs of a modern family.

The art deco details and heritage features remain – the parquetry flooring, the timber details, the original fireplaces – but the renovated kitchen will appeal to the gourmet chefs and the extensions allow segregation between the grand master suite and well-proportioned secondary bedrooms.

“It has been extremely considered and sympathetically brought up to date, but kept the original charm,” Luton Properties Canberra City agent James Carter says.

“The new owners can move into it straight away and enjoy all the open spaces and the convenient location.”

The house is set among established gardens on a 1242-square-metre block.

The formal lounge, dining and family room overlook the swimming pool and French doors open the home out onto a paved entertaining area.

Situated in one of Reid’s original garden precincts, the quiet, leafy streetscape is protected, while the city, Lake Burley Griffin and the Parliamentary Triangle are just moments away.
