A classic Inner North home benefiting from stunning renovations and providing an exceptional lifestyle with instant access to the best of Canberra, 71 Elimatta Street is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom Braddon home that’s sure to pique your interest.

Throughout the home, living spaces benefit from 2.7 metre ceilings, European oak parquetry, and dark timber window and sliding door frames.

“This home has enjoyed a top-to-bottom overhaul that really shows what a thoughtful renovation can do,” according to Momentum Property‘s Nick Paine and Peter White.

The tasteful upgrades have overhauled the home’s functional spaces, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms.

“Works to the property have made the home far more liveable, with the kitchen benefiting from the addition of a dedicated coffee station, integrated European appliances, custom joinery, and a large Supernova mineral-surface island bench,” Nick and Peter say.

“Yet these changes have added a lot to the home without destroying that classic look that Inner North homes like this have.”

A second living space connected to the open-plan living/dining room provides a breakout space for the family to enjoy.

“Both the living room and the dining room connect out to a separate deck, which both receive sun at different times of the day so you can follow the warmth as the day goes on,” Nick and Peter say.

“And obviously this extends and increases the home’s living spaces.”

The home’s bedrooms are all well-sized and they all benefit from built-in wardrobes, using the same dark timber used throughout the home.

The main suite is the best example, with two built-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom.

“Bathrooms feature dual sinks, frameless showers, an inset bath, Arabescato marble, premium bathroom fittings and a fully ducted steam-extraction system,” Nick and Peter say.

The bedrooms’ separation is perfect for a family that appreciates having somewhere quiet and private to retreat to at the end of the day.

“It’s rare to see none of the bedrooms sharing a wall; it’s a very clever feature that speaks to the overall thoughtfulness of the home’s design,” Nick and Peter say.

To cap it off, this property boasts one of the best locations in Canberra, exemplifying the best of what an Inner North home can be.

“This home is within walking distance to Civic and Lonsdale Street, the beating heart of Braddon,” Nick and Peter say.

“That means that you can walk a few streets and be right in the middle of all the action in one of Canberra’s most happening places.”

A walkable lifestyle like this is rare for Canberra, and there’s nothing that a family living here couldn’t have at their fingertips at a moment’s notice, whether it be entertainment, dining, cafes or shops.

But living here is about more than just the amenities. The street itself offers something unique.

“Elimatta Street is leafy and green, and while it’s practically up the road from Civic, you wouldn’t think that walking down the footpaths. It’s so quiet and secluded,” Nick and Peter say.

A chance at a lifestyle in a beautifully done-up, practical home is hard enough to find, but when combined with a location practically right next to Canberra’s best assets in dining, entertainment and leisure, it becomes an opportunity that demands attention.
