There’s something so satisfying about a good surprise, especially when it’s the kind that makes everyday life a little easier.
At 61 McIntyre Street in Narrabundah, that surprise comes in the form of a beautifully self-contained one-bedroom unit, quietly tucked behind the lovingly renovated family home.
Set on an 821-square-metre corner block just a short stroll from the Griffith shops, it’s a home that blends timeless charm with modern flexibility.
Step in from the front verandah, and you’re welcomed by the sunny formal lounge.
Just beyond, a spacious dining and family room features built-in cabinetry and a fireplace.
A generous meals area flows into the kitchen – recently updated with stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, and a walk-in pantry area that actually fits the weekly shop – with direct access to a large entertainer’s deck.
There are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and desks, as well as a separate study for work-from-home ease. The main-bedroom suite enjoys its own courtyard access, beautiful bay window and an en suite, making it a private retreat at one end of the home.
And then, the twist: a separate one-bedroom unit – with its own kitchen, living and dining space, skylight, bathroom and fenced yard – perfect for multigenerational families, independent teens or guests.
Hive Property’s Tom Wiggins says the home offers timeless character that’s seamlessly reimagined with modern versatility.
“This is a turnkey opportunity situated on a premier corner parcel featuring an additional one-bedroom unit, perfectly tailored for multigenerational living and versatility,” he says.
With freshly landscaped gardens, floating timber floors, ducted gas heating, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles, this turnkey home delivers a full serve of both comfort and character.
Narrabundah’s charm lies in its quiet streets, leafy outlooks and top-notch proximity to the best of the Inner South. Within minutes, you can be picking up essentials from Griffith shops, browsing the fresh produce at Fyshwick markets, walking by Lake Burley Griffin, or enjoying long lunches in Manuka.
