22 Arthur Circle, Forrest, ACT 2603

Once the distinguished diplomatic residence of the Greek ambassador, this single-level residence presents a rare opportunity to secure one of Forrest's most coveted addresses.

Situated among some of Canberra's finest homes and just a ten-minute stroll from the boutique charm of Manuka Village and the iconic Manuka Oval, this blue-ribbon location offers both immediate appeal and long-term promise.

For the visionary developer or the discerning private buyer, the potential here is extraordinary. The expansive grounds and premier position lend themselves to creating an incredible new home worthy of its prestigious surroundings. Yet, for those who appreciate heritage elegance and modern comfort, the existing residence offers a rich canvas for enhancement and the opportunity to build a generational dream home.

Beautifully conserved period features speak to its history: banks of timber-framed sash windows wrap the sunlit living areas, framing garden views and drawing in natural light; three original fireplaces provide key spaces with warmth and character, including one in the detached pool house.

The contemporary kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with multiple workspaces, display cabinetry, and quality appliances - ideal for both everyday living and hosting friends.

Four bedrooms include the sizeable primary suite and another which could also be used as a study. Both bedrooms have external access.

The pool house extends the home's versatility with its own kitchen, office, and studio space. Whether imagined as a teenagers' retreat, guest accommodation, or an au pair's quarters, it's already been upgraded with an elegantly updated bathroom complete with a marble vessel sink.

A project property in such a prestigious precinct seldom comes to market. Whether your vision is to craft a masterpiece from the ground up or refine and celebrate the blend of modern inclusions and period charm already in place, 22 Arthur Circle offers a once-in-a-generation chance to secure a slice of Forrest's premium lifestyle.
