A Classic Ken Oliphant Design Located on the highly sought-after Griffith/Narrabundah border, #68 Stuart Street offers a unique opportunity. This 947sqm gently sloping block features an ideal long northerly aspect, making it perfect for a character-filled home or a prime development project-or perhaps a bit of both. Designed by Kenneth Oliphant, the standout Canberra red brick home features a distinctive curved front entry and pretty tessellated tiles. Inside, the generous, practical spaces are enhanced by timber sash windows, high ceilings, and ornate cornices. Every room offers a unique and interesting garden view, with living areas that flow seamlessly into a paved alfresco area, lawns, and established gardens. Situated on the high side of the street, the property enjoys views through oak trees to the north-east. With its 947sqm in the RZ2 zone, it's a dreamland holding within walking distance of shops, cafes, restaurants, and quality educational institutions.
