About this property
A Rare Offering in the Heart of Barton Positioned within one of Canberra's most prestigious and tightly held suburbs, 32 Darling Street presents a truly rare opportunity to secure a character-filled home in blue-chip Barton, a location where houses seldom come to market. Privately set behind established gardens and a lush hedge, the home offers a sense of peace, privacy and timeless appeal. Originally built in Canberra's early years and approaching 100 years of history, it showcases enduring craftsmanship with double brick construction, original timber floors, high ceilings and classic sash windows, all thoughtfully preserved and enhanced through a sympathetic renovation. Inside, the home balances charm with functionality. A generous dining area sits at the centre of the home and flows seamlessly through to the kitchen, creating a natural hub for both everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining lounge provides a warm and inviting retreat, complete with a fireplace that enhances both comfort and character. Accommodation is well considered and highly versatile, with three bedrooms including a spacious master with its own ensuite. A separate study and dedicated office provide excellent flexibility for those working from home, while the detached studio, currently used as a guest space, offers further versatility as a creative retreat, workspace or private accommodation. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a north facing courtyard that can be enjoyed year round, cool and shaded through summer and beautifully sunlit in winter. Established gardens surround the home, creating a peaceful, leafy setting that evolves with the seasons and enhances the sense of privacy throughout. The lifestyle on offer is exceptional. Located just moments from the Parliamentary Triangle, Lake Burley Griffin, Manuka Village and the Kingston Foreshore, everything you need is within easy reach, with many of Canberra's key destinations accessible on foot through nearby Telopea Park. Homes in Barton are incredibly tightly held, and opportunities such as this are few and far between. * Rare opportunity to purchase a house in tightly held Barton * Three bedrooms including master with ensuite * Separate study and dedicated office * Detached studio ideal as guest accommodation or workspace * Spacious lounge with charming fireplace * Central dining area flowing to the kitchen * Original timber floors, high ceilings and period features * North facing courtyard for year round enjoyment * Established gardens offering privacy and greenery * Carport parking * Moments to Lake Burley Griffin, Manuka Village, Kingston Foreshore and the -Parliamentary Triangle A timeless Inner South residence offering character, flexibility and an unbeatable lifestyle in one of Canberra's most sought after locations.
