Overview
Established suburbs offer a unique opportunity where the environment is mature, with settled streets, grown trees, and established amenities such as schools, shops, and pathways. This property at 3 Munro Street presents a chance to create a home that integrates seamlessly with this well-established community.
Situated on a substantial 755 square meter north-facing block in a peaceful and prestigious Curtin pocket, the property offers two distinct options for prospective owners. One option is to renovate and enhance the existing residence, preserving its character and presence within the streetscape while adapting it to modern living requirements. Alternatively, the land provides an excellent foundation for a custom-designed new home that maximizes natural light, elevation, and scenic views.
The current home serves as a flexible base, suitable for a range of ambitions. It may be refreshed to highlight its warmth and original features or undergo a more extensive renovation or extension to better suit contemporary family lifestyles. The residence includes four bedrooms, with the lower level offering a rumpus room or potential fourth bedroom, along with laundry and storage areas, providing ample scope for personalization.
For those considering new construction, the land boasts desirable attributes including a north-facing aspect, approximately 30 meters of frontage, a gentle elevation rising about 1.5 meters towards the rear, and views towards Telstra Tower and the Woden Valley. These features support the development of a home that offers presence, privacy, abundant natural light, and energy-efficient design, subject to planning approvals.
The location benefits from proximity to Curtin Ridge Reserve, a neighborhood undergoing streetscape renewal with quality new homes, and convenient access to Curtin shops, schools, Woden Town Centre, and The Canberra Hospital. This property offers not just potential but the freedom to shape the future of a home in a highly desirable area.
