A swing chair on the verandah, tea and petit fours in the picturesque gardens, a cosy fire (or eco-friendly simulation) in the living room, silk rugs neatly positioned over polished hardwood floors. It’s not hard to imagine the lifestyle you could find yourself enjoying here in the heritage precinct of Corroboree Park in Ainslie.
9 Lister Crescent was built in around 1926 by the (then) Federal Capital Commission and was intended to house government employees moving to Canberra from interstate. It’s part of a unique community of original Canberra heritage cottages, many of which have since been thoughtfully renovated and extended for modern family living.
One of the few remaining originals, the property is at last being turned over to a perceptive buyer who will take advantage of the immense value in the location and heritage status of the property by bringing it back its original glory with a distinctly modern twist (within the relevant heritage guildelines of course).
