Top 4 open homes to inspect in Canberra and the surrounding region this weekend

Goulburn

View property

63 Clinton Street, also known as “St Heliers”, is a historic home, discerned among locals.

With a fresh face of white paint, contrasted with grey features, this double-storey 1888 terrace commands the street.

Step inside and for the most part, you’re stepping back in time, with each room bursting with antique period elements. A charming original staircase, wide timber floorboards, high skirting boards, arched windows, patterned ceilings and decorative fireplaces.

The versatile floor plan means optional uses for the different rooms. The sitting room double as an extra bedroom and smaller rooms can be used for storage or home office.

Contemporary creature comforts come in abundance where it matters most – the kitchen and the bathrooms – with all having received extensive renovations.

I’d recommend a morning brunch, to be enjoyed in the east-facing sunroom. The sun is by far the best at this time.

Price guide: Circa $700,000
