34 Euree Street, Reid, ACT, 2612, Australia

Although important, the appeal of Reid is so much more than its physical location that is neighbouring the City, Commonwealth Park, Mt Ainslie the Lake etc. As you may be aware, most of the suburb is listed in the ACT Heritage Register with the expressed intention of preserving the grace and charm of a bygone era, and to remind us of a simpler and more elegant time in our heritage.

The focus of the Register is the external appearance of the dwellings in the suburb, as well as the streetscape that was designed around the Garden City model, dating back to the beginning of last century. The desire was to create a consistent and peaceful environment for all to enjoy. But when it comes to the interior of the homes; well, that is a different matter altogether.

If you have looked at properties for sale you will find an eclectic mix of inspirations in many of the renovated properties, with a strong representation of modern architectural influences. While seen as desirable by some the prevailing affect can be overbearing - Enter 34 Euree Street.

When the current owner purchased the home in the early 1990's, a decision was made to take a different approach. When finalising a plan for extending and renovating the property. The design called for a home with all the modern conveniences but executed in the style of the original 1930's home, internally as well as externally. So, today we have a magnificent family home nestled in the quiet and tranquil surrounds that epitomises the Reid experience but exuding those positive more sublime features of the past. It is difficult to see from the outside where the old meets the new.

The additions were created around the need to have a private parent's area at one end of the home and at the rear two additional bedrooms with their own facilities leading off the new kitchen/meals family room. But in doing the extension many of the elements of the original home were retained. These include the high batten ceilings, double hung timber windows, classic light switches and power points, high handle internal doors, tongue & grooved cypress pine flooring and light fittings from yesteryear.

It is a joy to behold, and you are gently transported back to another time and place where you can truly seek refuge from the madness of today's world and enter a more contemplative state of mind. You can reacquire the skill to appreciate understated elegance and recharge your spirit to battle the vagaries of the 21st century.
