Canberra’s period homes hark back to our national capital’s early days. But when they’ve been preserved and renovated to the standard of 2 Frome Street in Narrabundah, you’re getting the best of both past and present.
This expansive home situated on a generous 1221-square-metre parcel is endowed with a number of period features, from picture railings to ceiling roses and glass-panelled French doors.
Pass through the library to the large main bedroom, which has an en suite, walk-in wardrobe and access to the covered outdoor entertaining deck.
The updated kitchen includes a double Gaggenau electric oven, black granite benchtops and a butler’s pantry.
Spotted gum flooring flows throughout the living-dining space, partitioned by an open gas fireplace – perfect for the cooler months.
On sunny days, the rear gardens and Canberra red-brick walkways will beckon, leading to a rear terrace screened by landscaped hedges and overlooking the sparkling in-ground pool.
LJ Hooker Manuka’s Samuel Thompson says the home has a price guide of $2.49 million-plus.
