Argyle Square is one of those rare inner-city enclaves that feels at once historic and alive, where Victorian terraces with wrought-iron lace and dormer windows curve around leafy communal gardens. It’s a place where time slows, where you can wander to Civic or Glebe Park in moments, yet return home to a pocket of calm that feels miles away.
Within this setting, number 56 is a beautifully reimagined townhouse, flowing across three light-filled levels. The home balances classic character with contemporary ease, all warmth, proportion and a lovely connection to green space.
The ground floor unfolds with generous living and dining, spilling north through bifold doors to a private courtyard garden. Here the sunshine lingers, greenery softens the edges, and mornings begin with coffee among the leaves. The kitchen is the natural gathering point, a central island with waterfall stone, abundant storage, and design that feels both stylish and intuitive. A guest powder room and laundry tuck away with ease.
The middle level is devoted to family and guests. Bedroom two is its own quiet suite with ensuite and robes. Bedrooms three and four share garden outlooks and balcony access, adaptable, interconnected spaces that flex easily between togetherness and retreat. A central bathroom with bath and shower anchors the floor in comfort.
Above it all, the top level becomes a sanctuary just for parents. A lofty vaulted ceiling opens the room, while plantation shutters filter light across a calming neutral palette. Walk-in robe, ensuite, clever storage – all combine to create a retreat in the treetops, a place to reset, recharge and wake with the city at your feet.
Every detail has been considered for modern life; double-glazed doors, reverse-cycle air conditioning, fresh flooring, soft carpet, and roller blinds. The aesthetic is timeless, ready to adapt to your own personality.
Car accommodation includes a private garage with automatic door, plus the added advantage of a resident’s permit for nearby designated parking on Ainslie Avenue and Allambee Street.
The shared courtyard gardens are verdant and inviting, allowing you to spill out from the home to a calming reserve. With established trees, decorative lampposts, green lawns, this is an intimate, romantic arena, for gathering, communing, celebrating. Step outside and you are greeted by quaint heritage homes, delightful pathways, connecting green spaces and a strong community vibe. The prime locale delivering a rich tapestry of cultural experiences, right to your doorstep.
The home is positioned on the cusp of the city, within Reid, alongside Braddon, close to Ainslie, and just a few steps from the Canberra Centre. This dynamic inner-north locale is synonymous with an array of the finest eating, dining, and entertainment options. The home is across the road from Gorman House Arts centres, close to the Canberra Theatre Centre, the ANU, CIT, Glebe Park and the walking and biking trails within Mt Ainslie. There are a variety of good schools and colleges close to hand and immediate access to transport, including the metro city station, connecting you to the whole of Canberra.
