Auction Location: On Site.

Beautifully positioned in one of O’Connor’s renowned tree lined streets, 32 Scrivener Street offers an opportunity rarely seen in today’s market. First home buyers, investors, renovators and builders alike will be able to take advantage of what is on offer with this home. No matter where you are in your buyer’s journey, this home is a must to inspect.

Position: There is little wonder that O’Connor is one of Canberra’s most sought after suburbs. Great schools, a plethora of walking tracks and parks, brilliant local shops and close proximity to both bushland and the CBD. The home itself is situated in one of the prime locations within the suburb. A mere 900m walk to the light rail, 700m from both Lyneham and O’Connor shops (including local favourite The Duxton hotel), 250m to Jandura park, O’Connor Ridge at the top of the street and only 5mins to Braddon and Canberra City.

Potential: Built in 1953 and extended in both 1986 and 1988, the home has a floorplan than could be reimagined to suit your needs. Currently configured as a 2 bedroom with 3 living spaces, the studio in the back yard could also be adapted to suit your individuality. The real magic is the north-to-the-rear aspect of the 613sqm block. A short walk up the street will give you plenty of ideas, with new homes being built, restorations to homes of the same vintage underway as well as extensive renovation ideas.

Personality: This house has a character and charm all of it’s own. With the northern sun pouring into the studio and main bedroom + study, it’s easy to see yourself curled up with a book, creating an artful masterpiece, writing or just relaxing. Established gardens have created peaceful, green outlooks from all windows. The good sized kitchen even has the original stone hearth, although upgraded with a near new oven/gas cooktop unit and dishwasher. The real heart of this home’s personality lies in the living room with it’s working slow combustion fireplace, plenty of light and warm polished hardwood floors, it is easy to imagine the family spending time talking in the calming surrounds.

This home has plenty to offer the discerning buyer, I highly recommend you come and enjoy it’s potential, position and personality.
