3/6 Guthrie Street
Dickson$470,000+

The quality of light strikes you as soon as you enter this immaculate one-bedder. Tall north facing windows and doors bring the outside in, the whole home leaning into the expansive wrap-around courtyard garden. A broad deck extends the living space into nature, so you can chill and entertain beneath the open sky. Green walls privatise and hold, the home looking across to the grounds of Daramalan College, so there are no opposing neighbours.

Guthrie is a short Street, ideally placed at the city end of Dickson. This little pocket places you central to Dickson, Ainslie Village and the dynamic Braddon hub. It is a short stroll to the light rail stop, making the commute to the CBD easy-breezy. Famed for its parklands, ovals, great schools, swimming pool and endless nearby reserves, Dickson is both leafy and coveted.

The interior feels gentle with earthy notes of nougat, cream and burgundy. Ceramic tiling and golden floorboards stretch underfoot and there is a lovely paired-back simplicity to the whole vibe. Living is arranged beneath the floor to ceiling sliders, so you can get comfy in the sunshine. There is a pretty dining nook encircled by ribbon windows that frame the garden. And the kitchen is generous, with enough space for all and everything. Think breakfast bar seating, a relaxed gathering of friends, plating take-out or experimenting with fresh ingredients from the nearby Farmer’s Market at EPIC. We love the stone worktops and the detailing – open shelving for display, stacked feature tiling in rich merlot red.

The bedroom has a wall of built-in-robes and an adjacent bathroom finished in floor-to-ceiling tiling. Glass sliders open straight onto the garden and the outlook is oh so special, think a swell of delicate natives including a golden acacia. A large tree shelters and shades in summer, losing its leaves to allow a cascade of warming light during the colder months. Steppers meander through lawn and there are dedicated vegetable and herb beds for the green thumb. A sheltered patio gifts a cooling spot the be on hotter days and there is gated access to both Guthrie and Morphett Street. Notably there is also a discreet separate laundry, secure basement parking, intercom access and an elegant entryway.

Dickson is a sought-after village, known for its central locale within the dynamic inner-north. Resting at the foothills of Mt Ainslie, surrounded by green spaces, it has a relaxed village vibe. It is an easy stroll to the famous Dickson precinct for shopping and choice of international cuisine. Lyneham and Dickson wetlands, Hope St Playground, Ainslie Oval, Dickson Playing Fields, and Jandura Park are all close to hand and there is a choice of public and private schooling. Close to transport, and the famous Ainslie shops, the home, is also just a stone’s throw from the dynamic Braddon precinct, the CBD, and the ANU.
