If you like a home with a welcoming vibe, this stunning and elevated property in Hughes could be just the ticket.
Selling agent Rick Meir from home.byholly said 61 Glasgow Street has a very special ambience about it that hits you the moment you set foot on the property.
“It’s a lovely family home and it’s just got a lovely feel about it. I know it might sound clichéd, but there’s something about it that is very inviting,” he said.
It’s the first time the Hughes residence has been offered for sale in 25 years.
With the owners deciding to downsize after becoming empty-nesters, Rick said this is an opportunity for another family to love it as much as they have, hopefully for another decade or two.
“This is a much-loved home, and the owners have enjoyed their life here for 25 years. The way the home has been set up lends itself to be the perfect entertainer’s home with two outdoor terraces, one from the kitchen and another at the front of the home.
“The house also allows for the family to get off to their own parts of the house to do their own thing, but also come together as well.”
Bedroom accommodation is well-suited to large families, with five rooms on offer.
Boasting a thoughtful floorplan, with segregation for added privacy, the main bedroom has high ceilings, a walk-through wardrobe with custom storage, a renovated ensuite with a skylight and a private balcony to enjoy your morning coffee and soak up the views.
There are an additional four bedrooms, with guests or family members spoilt for choice with an ensuite and walk-in robe in bedroom two, and the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a main bathroom with a bathtub.
Rick said inspections so far showed the location was a highlight.
“It’s at the very top of Hughes, so it is very elevated and has stunning views. Two of our previous open inspections were held later in the afternoon, prior to daylight saving, and the sunsets were breathtaking.
“Other feedback noted the quality of the renovation. It is a renovated and extended home, but it’s been done in such a way that you get the sense it was always like this.
“It’s not obvious that this is the ‘new bit’ and this is the ‘old bit’. It has been achieved in a seamless manner.”
Situated on a 1020 sqm block, the home is split over two levels, with the lower level offering the rumpus room and the versatile fifth bedroom, which could be an ideal children’s retreat or utilised as a workspace, gym, or guest quarters.
Outdoors you’ll find a large chicken run and raised beds perfect for creating vegetable gardens and landscaped gardens that offer privacy.
The home is nestled in a peaceful pocket, just a short stroll to Federal Golf Course, but still within easy reach of Hughes shops, Canberra Hospital, the Parliamentary Triangle and popular shopping and commercial precincts. It’s close to numerous quality schools, is in the sought-after catchment for Hughes Primary School and Alfred Deakin High School, and is an easy commute to the CBD.
“The pathway on the street leads into the reserve and onto the 11th hole of the Federal Golf Course. Many times, we’ve seen people in the area using the area for walking their dog, and we imagine there’s probably the odd golf cart on the way to the tee from their back door,” said Rick.
“Hughes is very sought after due to its central location; it’s a very tree-lined area but very close to everything.
“This is a stunning family home, offering spacious and versatile living and is well positioned to enjoy the outstanding lifestyle that comes with this premium location.”
The home will be open for inspection on Saturday, 12 October, between 12:45 pm and 1:15 pm. To find out more about 61 Glasgow Street, Hughes, contact Rick or Tina Meir from home.byholly on 0408 588 770 and be sure to check out all the latest listings on Zango.
