Carefully renovated and extended over the years, 9 Glynn Street is a five-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Hughes, showing how a home can change with the times.
Originally a 60s build, this property has been updated over the years to create a modern, energy-efficient, sleek and beautiful home.
“It’s been renovated sympathetically, with a carefully chosen aesthetic that feels timeless. Engineered Blackbutt flooring, double Victorian Ash front doors, ornamental banisters and French doors mean the home retains its personality,” Momentum Property agent Justine Burke says.
And renovations have done more than update the look; they’ve also made for a modern, comfortable home with plenty of amenities. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the kitchen.
“The kitchen has been updated with stone benchtops, a butler’s pantry, and Miele appliances. Interestingly, they’ve included an induction stovetop with a downdraft extraction system rather than a rangehood, which is quieter and cuts down on clutter,” Justine says.
Ducted gas heating, two reverse-cycle air-con systems, double glazing to all downstairs windows, insulation and 6.6 kW of solar mean the home has an EER rating of 5, which is exceptionally rare for a home of this vintage.
A cleverly designed floor plan places the main bedroom, with an ensuite and bath, on the ground floor in its own corner of the home, near the fifth bedroom, currently used as a study. The main bedroom also opens out to the garden through French doors.
“The indoor/outdoor flow on the property is great, with French doors in both the dining/sitting area and the main bedroom, which means you can leave the doors open during summer and catch the breeze,” Justine says.
And outside, through those French doors, is a surprisingly large garden.
The diversity of spaces here is extraordinary, with a deck, a sandstone entertaining area, a landscaped garden and a terrace shaded by an ornamental grape vine.
“The owners tell great stories about watching the garden change over the seasons, watching the crab apple tree bloom or waiting for the daffodils and the jonquils to come in,” Justine says.
“It’s just such a special place, and it could play host to garden parties, summer dinners under the stars or your casual morning cup of coffee.”
Even the home’s porch is unusually beautiful, with its circular drive, greenery, towering trees and deck seating area.
The top floor is dedicated to three well-sized bedrooms, with a rumpus room and a bathroom, giving the kids their own space to relax. Like the rest of the home, they have large, prominent windows that pull in light.
“All of the living spaces, the bottom lounge, the dining/sitting area and the top floor rumpus all face north and the renovations have taken advantage of this fact wherever possible,” Justine says.
Ideally located for families, this property sits far back from the curb on a quiet, leafy street, creating a feeling of privacy and peace. And for parents looking for their forever home, this property is within walking distance of great local schools.
“The Hughes shops are just a few streets away, as is the Hughes Garran Woodland, the Federal Golf Course and the Woden Shops are just a short drive away,” Justine says.
Beautifully updated, with a stunning garden and an ideal location, all that needs to be done at this rare Inner South find is to move in.
“This is an opportunity for something beautiful where all the hard work has been done,” Justine says.
