PRICE GUIDE OVER $900,000.

“Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life it would be without it.' This quote hangs in a spacious, vibrant studio at the rear of this charming 3 bedroom house, once home to one of Australia's most accomplished & sophisticated expressionist artists, George Foxhill. From the outside you'd never guess the rich artistic history that runs through the veins of this home, comfortably nestled in leafy Lowrie Street & just a short drive from Canberra's thriving cityscape.

This lively home is being brought to the market for the first time in over 60 years. Sitting on a neat 682m² block, it offers creative passion & flair in every corner. Splashes of colour & quirky patterns blend seamlessly with modern updates, cohesively combining the old & new. There are 3 generous bedrooms with built-in robes serviced by an updated main bathroom with separate toilet. The living areas are injected with life & personality, with a well-sized kitchen offering ample storage & a spacious sunlit lounge & dining area with a cosy fireplace. Outside you'll find established & well-maintained front and rear gardens with an expansive back lawn & room for a veggie patch.

Foxhill's art studio is still fully intact, filled with character & warmth reminiscent of another time. Flicks & strokes of paint still adorn the walls of this beloved space, where countless famous artworks were birthed. It's the perfect place for a creative workshop with an artistic ambience unlike any other.

Despite being such a unique offering this property has RZ4 zoning & plenty of future development potential if desired. It would be a great home to live in now or perfect to rent out while future investment or renovation plans are in the making. This is a rare opportunity to buy in such a prime location boasting close proximity to a range of exciting amenities including the new light rail, Dickson Shopping Centre, Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve, Ainslie Football Park & just a short drive to the City Centre. This is a special property that's not to be missed. Come & see for yourself.
