1926 Cottage on vast 1486sqm land holding
So few opportunities arise in this tightly held suburb-fewer still offer such an inspiring foundation for home and land in the heart of the Nation's Capital. A charming facade, the original c1926 period residence is a Federal Capital Commission Type 1, graced with charming character features. Lovingly restored and extended, it showcases faithful reproductions of original architraves, cornices, light fittings, fireplaces and tessellated tiles, all enhanced by heritage colour schemes in the living spaces. Set prominently on one of Reid's largest blocks, the home enjoys a superb rear north-facing orientation. The level, established gardens are a visual delight, with rolling lawns, flourishing borders, raised vegetable beds, and fruit trees-an abundant kitchen garden in full measure. A conservatory provides the perfect retreat to bask in the winter sun or unwind on balmy summer evenings, not to mention a flexibility of use, as a space for university aged children or extended families with older parents residing on the same block. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, a lounge, dining room or fourth bedroom, and a generous open-plan kitchen/living space. The heart of the home is a spacious cook's kitchen, with dual preparation areas, ample storage, and large north-facing windows that draw in natural light. French doors open to the private gardens, seamlessly connecting to the garage/office pavilion. The extended double garage features two versatile rooms-currently used as a home office and guest space-plus a bathroom and rear conservatory.

Since opening our doors in 2016, Belle Property Canberra has grown into one of the region’s most trusted and values-driven real estate agencies. Led by Co-Principals Richard Davies and Dan McAlpine, brothers-in-law with a shared commitment to people and place, the business has evolved through almost a decade of consistent results, thoughtful service and genuine community connection.
At Belle Property Canberra, three values shape everything we do:

Care - Our clients, customers and team are at the heart of our business. We approach every interaction with empathy, diligence and respect, ensuring each person feels supported through every step of their property journey.
Family - We believe great outcomes come from great relationships. As a team that operates like family, we bring that same sense of connection and belonging to the people we work with, creating an environment where everyone is included in the day-to-day of the business.
With teams now operating across Canberra, Queanbeyan and the Snowy Mountains, we offer clients the strength of a unified network and the insight of deeply local expertise. Backed by Belle Property’s premium marketing, national reach with over 200+ offices and innovative approach, our sales and property management professionals deliver a standard of service defined by expertise and driven by results.
