A large block fit for multi-generational living or a keen investor has come to market in Canberra's south.
The property at 84 and 84A Dunstan Street, Curtin, has two homes, each with four bedrooms on a large block.
Selling agent Justine Burke from Luton Property said on more than half an acre, the property felt like a regional oasis in the middle of the suburbs.
A pool, fruit trees and a leafy backyard provide ample space to relax or for children to run around.
The property backs directly onto bushland, making the yard feel even larger.
The original home was built in the 1960s and has been owned by the same couple since construction.
Distinctive modernist features, including internal wood panelling and a large fireplace are featured in the original house.
A light blue kitchen and wooden flooring adds an element of charm to the house.
A breakfast bar completes a spacious, open-plan kitchen.
The newer of the houses, 84A, was constructed for children of the owners to live in.
It is more contemporary, with white walls and high ceilings that let in ample light.
The unique property was "such an unknown" that Ms Burke had "no idea what to expect" in a buyer.
"It could be intergenerational living, or a family who wants to live in one [house] and rent out the other," she said.
Rental appraisal for both houses totals $2500 a week, so it could be a lucrative purchase for an investor.
Ms Burke was tight-lipped on a reserve price, or even a price guide, saying the unusual property would take time to value.
There has never been an eight-bedroom block sold in Curtin, according to CoreLogic. The suburb record is $3.25 million for a four-bedroom property sold in 2022.
After just three hours advertised, Ms Burke had already heard from "several" interested buyers.
The property will be auctioned on October 12.
