Rare street facing Georgetown offering.

Townhouse Sold - Griffith ACT

Named after Washington’s Georgetown, this boutique enclave of 25 spacious town residences designed by architect Angus Donald Hall have stood the test of time to become one of the most tightly held and sought after complexes in the Griffith and Kingston locale.

Townhome 8, offers 182sqm of internal living sprawled across three levels, providing separation and flexible options for most requirements and its clever yet timeless design exceeds the standards of contemporary living, with multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces.

You can enter the townhouse either from Giles Street (pedestrian access) or from within the development, through the back courtyard, or (car access) through a basement access door from the ‘residents only’ secure carpark. A second living area, also on this lower level, is completely versatile and could be partitioned into multiple rooms or could be used as a rumpus, home office, third bedroom or even a home theatre if desired (does not have windows), and has access to under stair storage.

The family-sized open plan living and dining room is located on the middle/street level, and is infused with a stylish simplicity that works equally well for large-scale entertaining or relaxing with family. It is character-rich with Australian Brushbox flooring, wainscoting (decorative half-wall paneling), high ceilings with a recess over the dining area, and ample natural light. There is access from this level to either of the gated, private, sunny courtyards. The original large, yet well maintained kitchen is neutrally schemed and offers excellent storage and bench top preparation area, and is fitted with Chef hot plates, a SMEG oven and a new Westinghouse dishwasher.

Desirably situated on the top floor, there are two huge segregated bedrooms, boasting the stunning timber flooring, built-in robes, delightful views, and Fujitsu reverse cycle air conditioners. The master bedroom also has a neat ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe. Also on this level is the large main bathroom and a separate laundry room.

A 20-metre in-ground heated pool, well equipped gymnasium and large paved communal terrace and gardens feature in the quiet complex.

Your doorstep is also only two blocks to the updated Kingston shopping precinct with its variety of grocers (including Supabarn), cafes, retailers and amenities and only a short stroll from Telopea Park for beautiful open parkland. The eclectic nightlife of old Kingston or Manuka is also a short walk away for endless restaurants and bars to explore.

Definitely one of the inner south’s best kept secrets, these town homes are tightly held and rarely offered for sale. So do not miss the opportunity to inspect this unique offering.
