Set on an elevated 1185sqm corner block with maintained gardens and the benefit of nearby parklands, the regal residence at 26 Numeralla Street, O’Malley has been touted as a “classic home” for “versatile family or embassy living”.

While selling agent Stephen Thompson, from LJ Hooker Manuka declined to comment about the listing, the advertisement says: “it is impressive as soon as you arrive”.

“Placed in one of Canberra’s most exclusive areas, O’Malley enjoys a reputation as a sought-after embassy and diplomatic precinct,” it says.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one with a spa and the other with a double shower, the property is beset by high ceilings, chandeliers and detailed cornices along with two large reception foyers and a formal living area at the front of the home.

With a flexible floorplan, there is scope to have a separate living area or home office.

The kitchen leads out to a private alfresco dining area, which is perfect for entertaining guests, while the living area offers the cosy comfort of an open fireplace.

The property last changed hands back in 2008 when it sold for $1.19 million

O’Malley is a sought-after area attracting 453 visits per property compared to the ACT average of 296.

The property is leased until next year, with the agent spruiking the embassy as “great tenants” in its advertisement.
