"So close to Dickson shops, you can reach by a long jump!" ANU students, groups, young public servants welcome. Do you like to wake up in the morning, melodiously carolled by the birds, then stroll up to the Dickson shopping centre for morning coffee/breakfast? Or, even better, after being woken up by the sweet songs of the birds, make your breakfast at home, open the fence-gate, step into the adjoining park, and share the it amongst chattering birds perched on the tree-tops? Either way, the choice of enjoying this magical location/lifestyle is yours! You will be living in one of the rare houses that actually sits right next to a parkland in a peaceful, whisper-quiet area. If you are a "nature-lover", and enjoy "walk-cycle-to-everything" lifestyle, this location is perfect. If you are currently living in a noisy block of flats with no privacy, no garden, or in a house facing noisy road, this location is a perfect alternative to live in a sought after area. Perched on Legge st, just off the beautiful, tree-lined, pretty-as-a-picture, Blackett street, you are sure to fall in love with this location. As you walk into the verandah, you are greeted by a large pergola and wooden bench where you can relax in the evenings. Upon entering this character-filled, rustic house, you immediately feel the old world charm that oozes, e.g, a rustic presence, high ceilings, heritage-type windows & design - a flashback to a bygone era, not present in the new houses. The high ceilings keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. A gas heater adds to the warmth, in addition to a reverse air-conditioner. There are three bedrooms; two are master bedrooms with built-in-wardrobes and storage space on top. The bedrooms overlook the adjacent park, and the fabulous green views from the windows will make you sleep peacefully. The park with a canopy of trees, and their leaves changing colour in autumn, will remind you of the four changing seasons of Canberra. One of the master bedrooms is segregated, and opens with a sliding glass door on to a beautiful pergola/deck. After a hard days work, you can relax on the deck over a glass of wine and marvel at the greenery. The wood-panelled kitchen with a timber floor, leads to a seperate laundry completing the architecture of the house. You will not find another house closer to the city-area/Dickson precinct, in a park-like-setting like this one. You can walk to Dickson shopping centre/bus stand with buses going to all locations every ten minutes, (i.e no need for a car); there is a buzzing array of cafes, Chinatown spice shops, restaurants, medical services, baby clinic, sporting facilities, public library, swimming pool, etc at your door step.
